It's High 5 Friday! 🙌🖐
This week, high fives go out to:
1. The Spanish National Honor Society students at West Senior High who recently organized a powerful community event to support the local Migrant Education Program through Northwest Ed. These dedicated Titan leaders hosted a special screening of the documentary La Cosecha at the State Theatre. Through their hard work, they raised vital funds, increased awareness, and collected essential school supplies to benefit our local migrant students. 👏🌟
2. Blair Elementary Bobcats who turned pages into planting this spring! Thanks to the incredible reading students did back in March, five beautiful new maple trees now shade the Blair playground, along with a brand-new cherry tree out front! Great job to all of our dedicated readers who worked hard to green up their school. A huge thank you also goes out to Grand Traverse Nursery for helping get these trees safely planted. 🍁✨
3. Silver Lake Elementary, who had the absolute best time at their Fun Field Day! The weather was perfect for students to get outside and celebrate the end of the school year. A huge thank you to all the staff and volunteers for making the event such a massive success! 😎🏃
4. West Middle School ESL students and their NJHS tutors who gathered at China Fair Restaurant to celebrate a year filled with delicious food, fun, and lifelong friendship! This special event honored their departing 8th graders for their incredible contributions to the program. As a parting gift, each graduate received a beautiful, hand-painted canvas crafted by their younger classmates. Thank you to China Fair for their wonderful generosity in hosting this celebration of community! 🥳🙌
5. Courtade Elementary students who showed off their green thumbs this week! Several classes headed outside to work in the school garden, taking the opportunity to plant seeds. Thanks to the hard work of these young gardeners, the beds will soon be bursting with delicious vegetables and fresh herbs to harvest and share with our community. Way to grow, Courtade! 🥕👍
