After over a year of construction, the Ella Elizabeth Hise Museum of Regional Art has been completed. Southeastern Illinois College will hold a grand opening ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 23, in the George T. Dennis Visual and Performing Arts Center (VPAC) Theatre.
Located on the west side of campus near the south entrance off College Road, this museum will be a showpiece for the region. Retired Air Force Colonel William C. Hise and the estate of his late twin brother Air Force Brigadier General James C. Hise, who passed away in February 2016, have given this generous gift. This museum will be named in honor of their sister, Ella Elizabeth Hise, a long time teacher and art supervisor for Harrisburg Public Schools.
The public is invited to attend this ceremony. Immediately following the grand opening, there will be a ribbon cutting and tours of the Ella Elizabeth Hise Museum of Regional Art along with a light reception in the George T. Dennis Visual and Performing Arts Center.

The district has had a busy summer with with new staff, new programs, and all the summer maintenance being done on the buildings. Online training is required of all the teachers and the aides. The Superintendent said it was easier to keep track of by doing it online. He asked them complete it before the end of the first semester. Principal Carter also requested all teachers and aides complete the first five training topics in the next couple of days and presented a demonstration of how to do it at the Ed Leaders website.
The NCOE Schools are conducting Child Find/Preschool screening for 3 to 5 year old children not yet enrolled in public schools and who will not be kindergarten eligible in the fall. The screening checks each child's progress in hearing, vision, speech, language, and coordination skills. This will give parents a better idea of how their child is progressing at this very young age before he/she begins school. This screening program is free and parents will receive immediate feedback on how their child is developing. Head Start personnel may also be present to explain their program and services.
In Enfield, the screening will be held at the Enfield Christian Church on September 13, 2019 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. the screening procedure takes about 45 minutes, and appointments must be made so that children do not have a long wait period. Parents should call Booth School at 618-963-2521 today to make an appointment for your preschooler.
Remember! The service is a free check of your child's progress in the developmental areas, but appointments are needed. If you live in Enfield, Springerton, Omaha, or Norris City, call today to make an appointment for your preschooler.
