At Menta, we’re committed to building a foundation for success, both now and in the future! 🌟 Today, students from across our Northern Illinois schools attended the Chicagoland Transition event, exploring options for what’s next after graduation. With representatives from the armed forces, nonprofit programs, and higher education, our students engaged in meaningful conversations, gaining insight into the many pathways available after they leave us. We’re so proud to support their journeys forward! A special thank you to our vendors who attended: US Army, Triton College, Illinois State Police, Lumity, Youth Outreach, Hire 360, LITE, Lewis University#MentaEducation #ChicagolandTransition #FutureSuccess #PathwaysToSuccess #TheMentaEducationGroup #ChicagolandTransitionFair

Yesterday, students at Menta Academy South got hands-on experience with democracy by participating in a mock election! Practicing their right to vote, students learned about the electoral process, discussed important issues, and cast their ballots just like in a real election. We're so proud of our students for engaging thoughtfully and making their voices heard! #LearningAboutTheProcess #MakeOurStudentsVoices #MentaMockElection #MentaAcademySouth
Today’s the day! Voting is an important part of our democracy, and it’s the biggest way for us to have a say in the future of education and our communities. Encourage your friends, family, and neighbors to get out and vote. Every voice matters, especially when it comes to decisions that impact our schools, families, and students. If you haven’t already, find your polling place and make sure you’re ready to cast your ballot. By participating in this important civic duty, we can set a great example for our students. #ElectionDay #EveryVoteCounts #CivicEngagement #Election2024 #ElectionDay2024 #BeKindToday #RespectFirst
