It's High 5 Friday! 🙌🖐

This week, high fives go out to:

1. Our Class of 2026 seniors from Central High School and West Senior High who were celebrated at Honors Convocation this week! It was an incredible event to kick off the seniors' final few days as Titans and Trojans. We are so proud of all the students who earned scholarships, received academic awards, and maintained their place on the honor roll through years of hard work and dedication. Congratulations on these well-deserved honors! 💛🎓💚

2. Long Lake Elementary Junior Kindergarten students who brought learning to life with their very own Farmer's Market! These young entrepreneurs worked incredibly hard to design and create their own goods, practice essential communication skills, count money, and welcome eager shoppers from all across the campus. 🍎🙌

3. East Middle School 8th graders who had a fantastic day exploring our local community during Clean & Green Day! Throughout the field trip, students learned firsthand how local government operates, how public funds are utilized, and the vital role that conservation and community planning play in keeping Traverse City beautiful.🌷🌟

4. Westwoods Elementary 5th-grade student council. Thanks to their hard work, creativity, and dedication, our student council members proudly delivered a $1,200 donation to Noah’s Animal Rescue Farm! The students worked diligently through various fundraising efforts to raise these funds, all to support the care of the rescue's amazing animals. 🐄👏

5. To the 54 incredible 5th-grade students from across our district who were honored at the Optimist Club Youth Appreciation Day Luncheon! Two outstanding students from each 5th-grade classroom were selected for this special recognition, celebrating those who demonstrate what it truly means to lead with positivity, kindness, and character. Whether they are showing respect and responsibility, uplifting their peers, or making a tangible difference in their schools, these young leaders represent the very best of our community. 🥳💫
