Kaskaskia College is inviting resident of Vandalia and the surrounding areas to attend a Community Engagement Forum at the Vandalia Campus at 3:30 p.m. this Thursday at the KC Campus on West Fillmore Street.
The meeting is provided to share information with the public, as well as seek public input.  
Speaking on the current state of the college and new developments at the college will be: Mary Schulze, director of the Vandalia Campus; Dr. Penny Quinn, KC president; trustees of the board and other members of the college administrative team.

All Patoka students in grades K-12 will be experiencing fun and learning on Aug. 21, the day of the solar eclipse, but somewhat different depending on the grade.
In the morning, all K-6 classrooms will be visited by someone from the Patoka Library.
This volunteer will read to the students the book “The Big Eclipse,” by Nancy Coffett. This book reading will explain in their terms the eclipse, and how and why it’s happening, and also covers viewing safety.
