Did you know? The proposed County Schools Facility Sales Tax applies only to items currently subject to Illinois sales tax.

Here’s what would not be taxed:

*Groceries
*Prescription medications
*Vehicles (cars, trucks, boats, RVs, mobile homes)
*Farm equipment, parts, and inputs
*Personal/professional services (haircuts, accounting, legal services, etc.)
*Wholesale purchases

What would be taxed? Only items that are currently taxed under Illinois law.
For example:
*Prepared foods (restaurants)
*Retail purchases (clothing, electronics, etc.)
*Online sales

If approved, this tax would help fund facility upgrades and improvements as well as mental health supports for students. Learn more about this referendum by attending our upcoming community meeting, visiting tazewellonecent.info, or contacting us directly!

Marching Potters: What Gives You Wings

It is all about community, connections, costumes, and high-level competition. Or is it the parades, pageantry, percussion, and passionate parents (and caregivers) that raise the pride in performance? Whatever it is, it is special for those who commit and pursue excellence.

Want to experience the full What Gives You Wings show without traveling far? Join us for the Marching Potters’ Community Night performance!

Date: Monday, October 26

Time: 7:30 p.m. (gates open at 7 p.m)

Location: Morton High School

Admission: Free to the public

The band will perform its full show in uniform, sharing its hard work with friends, neighbors, and the next generation of 709 performers. A bake sale with tasty treats will be available, and after the performance, the high school will host a reception and displays for graduating seniors.

Admission is free, but every attendee through the gate supports the band. Each year, generous sponsors partner with the band to pledge $1 per person in the stands, making the event an important fundraiser for the program. We hope you’ll come out and cheer on the Marching Potters!
