Our 8th graders recently gained real-world experience through mock interviews designed to prepare them for the workforce.
Volunteers from Align in Adrian, Michigan, generously gave their time to interview students and provide valuable feedback on communication skills, professionalism, and first impressions. This hands-on opportunity helped students better understand what to expect in future job interviews and how to present themselves with confidence.
Experiences like this support our mission to graduate students with strong academics, character, and career awareness, who will positively impact society.

🍽️ Bulldog Academics in Action🍽️
Mrs. Grondin’s 7th-grade students recently took on a MasterChef-style classroom challenge that blended academic skills with hands-on learning. Working in small groups, students planned a meal, developed a budget, created a grocery list, and prepared their dish in the cooking lab.
From hibachi and chicken alfredo to breakfast bagels, tacos, steak, and asparagus, students demonstrated creativity while applying math, planning, collaboration, and problem-solving skills. Seeing students work together, supporting one another, sharing ideas, and problem-solving as a team, was truly rewarding. The smiles, laughter, and collaboration throughout the class are what make this project so special each year and one students genuinely look forward to.
This experience emphasizes financial literacy, teamwork, and practical life skills, key components of a well-rounded Bulldog education.
A special thank you to the LCEF grant for supporting this engaging academic opportunity and helping bring real-world learning into the classroom.
Great work, Bulldogs!
