The Detroit Tigers will be playing their home opener tomorrow afternoon and we are encouraging all students and staff to wear their Tigers gear or blue and orange to show support!!
Here are our March Students of the Month! These students demonstrated positive character strengths throughout the month of March! Congratulations!
This week our school community will be focusing on the character strength of Humor. Humor means you like to laugh and bring smiles to other people.
“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills.”--AUDREY HEPBURN
After a much-anticipated and enjoyable spring break, it’s back to school on Tuesday, April 2nd. When students and teachers return to class, they’ll have just 47 days left in the school year. Those 47 days will be filled with lots of activities, including preparation for NWEA and M-STEP tests, fun events like field day, grandparents day, 6th grade camp, field trips and so much more. All of it culminates for the last day of school on June 6th.
Mr. DeRosia's class built positive relationships by reading to the 4th graders to celebrate reading month!
Wishing everyone an amazing Spring Break ahead! Take this well-deserved break to unwind and recharge. We will see you Tuesday, April 2, 2024.

This week our school community will be focusing on the Other People Mindset of Identifying and Appreciating the Good in Others. It’s important to deliberately work to identify and appreciate others’ character strengths.
Identifying and appreciating the good in others is a core tenet of the Other People Mindset. This isn’t always what comes naturally. Often, it’s easier to blame others for our problems or find flaws in others to use as excuses for our own jealousy, bitterness, or resentment. The problem is that this negativity usually leads to problems -- for ourselves, for the other person, and for our relationships.
