Happy School Nurse Appreciation Day!
Today we celebrate our amazing school nurse, Erica West, whose kindness, compassion, and care make a difference every single day. Whether it's a scraped knee, a tough morning, or just a need for a comforting smile, Nurse West is always there to support our students with grace and empathy.
She goes above and beyond to make sure every child feels seen, heard, and cared for. From managing daily health needs to being a calm presence during emergencies, Nurse West is a true hero in our school community.
Thank you, Nurse West, for the incredible impact you make at Illini Bluffs. Our school is healthier, safer, and stronger because of you!


Happy School Lunch Hero Day!
Today, we give a big shoutout to the amazing Illini Bluffs CUSD #327 nutrition staff! These everyday heroes work behind the scenes to make sure our students are served healthy, tasty meals with a side of kindness and care.
From early mornings to busy lunch shifts, your dedication makes a difference every single day. THANK YOU for everything you do to support our students and schools!
