Mr. Moore’s Modern American History students stepped back into the Roaring 1920s! 🎡 Each group designed a themed 1920s amusement park, becoming experts on different parts of 1920s life—from fashion and music to culture and innovation. They created rides, restaurants, and attractions to match their theme and wrapped it all up with written explanations to show their thinking.

Creative learning in action as our Bulldogs unleash their potential!

Mrs. Bernath brought learning to life in our GSRP preschool program! 🌿She introduced a variety of spices, and our students had the chance to smell each one and guess what they were. What a fun, hands-on sensory experience for our kiddos!

Exploring through sight, smell, and curiosity makes learning even more exciting. Way to go, Bulldogs! 🐾

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.

Thank you to our community partners for investing in our Bulldogs’ future. 🐾

🍽️ 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!

🎨🌲 After learning the elements of landscape and fine-detail acrylic painting, our students completed their ornaments for the Downtown Development Authority Tree, which were proudly on display at Wakefield Park throughout the month of December.
Fitting so much detail into such a small space was no easy task — but they rose to the challenge beautifully! We love seeing Morenci creativity shine through this community collaboration. 💙🐾
