Thank you to the Freeland Biggby for donating coffee for our elementary staff this morning. It was greatly appreciated and definitely made our Monday even merrier!
Mrs. Quast's 3rd graders had an "Ice Day." After they finished their "How to Build a Snowman" writing, they got to test out their directions by building their own creations!

It was a great time! Thank you to the players for spending time with our students, it was greatly appreciated.
We are so proud of this amazing group of 6th graders for presenting at the FCSD School Board meeting this evening. They worked hard, collaborated and knocked the presentation out of the park!

This week Fifth Grade partnered with the "Water on the Go" program sponsored by Consumer Energy to work on the Design & Engineering Process! The "Water on the Go" program presented how quickly "invisible" pollutants enter the watershed and fifth graders were challenged to design solutions to protect the watershed. The students also created models of their solution ideas and explained their findings based on their investigations!
Third grade students in Mrs.. Helmreich’s third grade class finished up their final Junior Achievement lessons with Mrs. Stacy Causley today! They learned about money choices-earn, save, spend and donate. We learned how each choice affects the others. Finally, we built a city consisting of a multipurpose area, housing area, agricultural area, business area and industrial area!
So many of our classes have started and are working through lessons for Junior Achievement! We thank all of our volunteers for their time in our classrooms.

5th grade students from Mrs. Somers's science class took part in a design challenge. They had to apply scientific concepts and use collaborative teamwork to build a vehicle that would land 2 alien marshmallows safely on Earth without falling out. Students experienced both failures and successes throughout the engineering process just like engineers do each day. See the amazing products that came from this challenge!
Fourth graders went on a field trip today to the Dow Tennis Classic! They made everyone proud and even got compliments from the Midland Tennis Center staff. Thank you to Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Huckeby and the 4th grade team for organizing such a wonderful opportunity for our students.
