Noonan Elementary Academy Mentor Dinner

Noonan Elementary Academy welcomes new families with a special dinner

Noonan Elementary Academy, an independent Catholic school in Mokena, hosted its annual Mentor Dinner to connect new families with established families within their school. The event, hosted by the Holy Family Association (Noonan’s version of a Parent Teacher Association), went down as a fun-filled and enjoyable evening for all who attended.

Noonan is unique because they are taking the initiative to build and then foster a connection with all of their families. “The Mentor dinner serves as an opportunity to welcome our new families into the Noonan community. It’s the families that bring forth the life into our school. The more involved a family is within our community the more they will feel like they are at home when they are at Noonan,” said Joseph Dunn, Principal of Noonan Academy. “This personal connection allows them to understand what we are about while getting firsthand information about our school from families who believe in what we do.”

Noonan Elementary Academy is celebrating over two decades of educational excellence as an independent Pre-K – 8th grade Catholic school. More information can be found on their website, www.noonanacademy.org
