Visiting the Big City of Chicago
The students  learned how to: navigate the Metra system, enjoyed the Billy Goat's double cheesebu rgers, saw the Chicago sights via a Segway tour, shopped the Magnificent Mile, had dinner at Eataly and then settled in to listen to Tony Zipparro's entrepreneurial journey with the LLT Group. The next day they enjoyed the Shedd Aquarium before returning home.


Check out this video taken by ClassE alum Colton Anderson who graciously chaperoned this trip. Also, a special thanks to Kerry Taylor who also chaperoned the trip.





Earning Credits for your Relationship Bank Account

Building strong, trusting relationships is so important for success. Students were asked to give examples of behavior that would help strengthen relationships and then examples of behavior that weaken those relationships.
Learning about Agriculture at Alliance Tractor

Doug Shilling of Alliance Tractor, LLC gave an overview of the importance of agriculture in Coles County and the world. Alliance Tractor is a John Deere dealership and has many locations in Central Illinois and Indiana. They sell farm equipment, parts, service and integrated solutions to the farmers. 

Doug discussed the cycles in agriculture and importance of food security in the future.
We had such a wonderful tour of the Toyota Plant in Princeton, Indiana courtesy of KC Summers. They have a museum to view, then a tour of the entire facility. We stopped at Moonshine on the way and enjoyed their famous hamburgers. 
We are so thankful for the generosity of the Coles County businesses that sponsor ClassE.

We hope you support them as they support us!
