Noonan Elementary Academy Mentor Dinner

Noonan Elementary Academy, an independent Catholic school in Mokena, brought back its 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), had over 100 people in attendance.

Noonan takes 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.” Dunn distributed Holy Water to both the mentor families and their mentees as a sign of protection.

Noonan provides its students with a rigorous and innovative educational program that is academically challenging and personally supportive. Noonan is committed to developing the full potential of each student by fostering intellectual development, strong character formation, and spiritual growth. Scholarships are available; please contact Mr. Dunn, Principal of Noonan Elementary Academy, for more information. www.noonanacademy.org
