Happy 2025 Mustangs! I am anxiously awaiting the return to school--but enjoying lots of outside time with this mild weather! See you soon! Xoxo Marshall


5th grade students exceeded expectations at the Challenger Learning Center! They experienced a simulation that required teamwork and problem-solving skills to build and land a rover on the Moon!











Happy New Year's Eve!
January in the Mustang Café.

Good Morning,
Due to very icy road conditions, there will be no school today, Friday, December 20. A decision on afternoon and evening activities will be made later today. Have a safe and enjoyable break!
Mr. Young

Santa told Marshall he made the NICE LIST!



When Marshall is calm and relaxed students often match and mirror his energy. We often call this co-regulation with humans and Marshall is a great tool to help students when they are needing to calm down and a great teaching tool when their emotions are regulated.




Good Morning,
Earlier this morning some may have noticed multiple police officers at and in our building. We want to inform you that their presence was due to a door being found propped open early this morning. They walked the building and determined there were no ongoing issues or concerns related to this matter.
I want to thank the McLean County Sheriff’s Office and the Colfax Police Department for their prompt response and support in ensuring our safety.
Thank you for your understanding.
Mr. Young
