Mrs. Whittington's Kindergarten class enjoyed practicing their motor skills and creativity with an autumnal painting project!

5th grade teacher Ms. Boulis wanted to shout out Mr. Logan here for being a good leader by holding the door for Mr. Quintin as he walked past. We love to recognize these little victories! #LEADLikeAComet

How do our young Comets in Mr. Liechty's class exercise their brains during inside recess? By reaping the benefits of playing board games! They're learning collaboration, sportsmanship, practicing good winning/losing skills, critical thinking, and decision-making. Looks like a lot of fun! #growingforthefuture #LEADLikeAComet

4th graders recently went to the Ag Farm in Merrill, off of M-30. The students learned about the water cycle and the different layers of soil, how harvesting equipment works, bees and how honey is an important part of Michigan. Looks like they had a great time! #growingforthefuture

Remember last week's post of the 6th graders harvesting thei produce they grew for Culinary class? Hot out of the oven, Culinary students made pizzas with homemade pizza sauce that was made with the tomatoes that came from that garden! They also practiced their knife skills and made homemade fries with the potatoes (not pictured). We love to see our students collaborating! #LEADLikeAComet #CultivatingCometConnections #growingforthefuture

Homecoming 2024

What does leadership look like at the elementary school? Some of the oldest students in the building recently helped one of the youngest students in the building by modeling good behavior. We're so proud of how our Comets collaborate! #LEADLikeAComet

The 6th grade has been busy tending to the raised garden beds at the elementary school. Elementary students planted the beds in the spring with plants grown by the Agriscience students. Now, we are harvesting tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers! Chef Moore from our Culinary class came to visit the 6th grade to answer our questions and to pick up our produce donation. We can’t wait to hear what they make! #growingforthefuture

Today is Tech./Communications Recognition Day for the District! Between Mrs. Laurie Bell, Mrs. Natalie Kalitta, Mr. Jim Burkhart, Mr. Brian Cone, Ms. Emily VanSickle, Mr. Zack MacPhee and Mr. James Schaefer, we have the best people around.

Thank you to each one of them! If you have a moment today, please stop them and say thanks, give them a small token of appreciation or share a note with them to recognize their work.
