Please email secretaries@mgsredbirds.org or call the office at 309-367-2361 if you would like to change your students transportation home. We are sorry for the inconvenience that this may cause.
Thank you, MGS

On Wednesday, January 28th as part of our kick off to Unified week, we had a guest speaker Terrance Talley come into the school to speak to the students. His message of, "I got your back," kept our students engaged and energized and how to find ways to support each other. It was a great way to kick off the week.
