Thank you to Mark Schank, Burlington Township Fire Department Chief, for awarding us this plaque.

10th-grade students are reading Losers Bracket and had the opportunity to interview the author of the book, Chris Crutcher. The inspiration for many of the characters in his books came from his 25 years as a therapist in child abuse and neglect cases.
Miss Josie made Elephant Toothpaste during our science lesson in preschool today.
Elephant Toothpaste is the end product of a science experiment. With a few ingredients, a foamy mixture is made and grows slowly, and it looks like it is the toothpaste that an elephant would use. Our little ones loved watching the experiment and learning science.
We appreciate all that you do!
We are glad to have you here, Mrs. Burnham!
Oetiker, a local business in Marlette, donated four large whiteboards to our Elementary School.
Thank you to Oetiker representative Bruce Christensen, a Production Manager, and one of our 2nd-grade teachers, Ms. Caitlyn Stockmeyer, for giving the boards a test drive!
The school shootings in our nation are beyond comprehension and strike us hard, especially when it happens so close to home.
With heartfelt thoughts and prayers, we are thinking of the families of the deceased students, the injured students, and our Michigan State community.
There are no answers to the looming questions about why these incidents continue to happen, but we can continue to be vigilant and proactive locally to keep our children safe. As we make every effort to care for our students, we can have a positive effect on a day-to-day basis. Raising children that are happy, healthy, safe, and educated is something we will always commit to you and your families.
Give your kids an extra hug tonight.
Please join us for Family Literacy Night at the Elementary School!
