They will discuss issues and ideas to prepare for a Village Board meeting of their own in the evening at Mokena Village Hall, 11004 Carpenter St.
Mokena Junior High students will conduct a Village Board meeting at 5 p.m. That meeting will be followed by one conducted by St. Mary students. The mayor and trustees will conduct their regular meeting at 7 p.m.
