We’re proud of all the students who participated and showed great sportsmanship and support for one another.

Congratulations to our 7th Grade Treble, Tenor/Bass and 8th Grade Treble Choirs who received Division 1 ratings at MSVMA District Choral Festival this past Tuesday. A special shoutout to our 8th Grade Treble Choir who earned a PERFECT score of 120/120 and got to dye Mr. Schafer's hair pink!

The main office turned into a mini stage! Some of our band students came in and played a little song and it was awesome. Love seeing our kids show off their talent! 🎵👏

Huge congratulations to Graeme Chapman, Brock Walter, and Brett Gerkin!

The three were among 2500 students in the state who auditioned and were selected as top students in the Michigan School Band and Orchestra. They spent two days rehearsing with composer and conductor Dr. William Owens in Grand Rapids and performed at the Michigan Music Conference on Saturday, January 24. What an incredible honor and experience! 🎶✨

🚀 Science in action! Students are building and testing air-powered rockets, collecting data, and comparing designs to see which design is most successful. They will then use the data and observations to explain how Newton's Third Law of Motion applies to rockets launching.
