This week during our Second Step lesson, students practiced something we use every day in the classroom: how to get focused and ready to learn!
We talked about using our listening ears, watching the person who is talking, keeping our voices quiet, and calming our bodies when it’s time to listen and learn.
Students also tried "Focus Like an Owl,” a quick calming activity that helped them slow down, listen to the sounds around them, and get their minds and bodies ready to focus.
It was a fun way to practice an important classroom skill that we’ll keep using all year long! ❤️🐾
🦉 What helps you get focused and ready to learn?

Our Bulldogs have been jumping, tossing, rolling, balancing, racing, and laughing their way through PE!
From Ice Cream Cone races and obstacle courses to Bean Bag Toss, Hula Hoop Roll, Clean Your Room, Steal the Bacon, and Protect the Pin, there was definitely no shortage of action! 😄
And while they were busy having FUN, they were also building some pretty awesome skills like balance, coordination, aim, teamwork, communication, and quick thinking.
Lots of movement + lots of laughs = a GREAT week in the gym! 🐾🙌
💬 Okay, Bulldogs… which PE game would YOU jump in and play right now?!

These Bulldogs have been working hard, listening well, and showing some awesome behavior! Their efforts earned them a special treat: popsicles and a nature walk through the woods! 🌳
Way to go, Bulldogs! Keep up the great work! 🐾

In honor of Patriot Day, our 2nd graders learned about the importance of helping others and recognizing the everyday heroes in our communities.
Students read This Very Tree and created a special craft while discussing what it means to be a hero, showing courage, kindness, and help in times of need.
It was a thoughtful, age-appropriate way to learn about kindness, courage, and caring for one another. ❤️🤍💙

Community member and Morenci alumna Ivy Hutchison stopped by Mrs. Hutchison’s 3rd-grade classroom to read The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and share a fun lesson on shades and tints!
Inspired by the story’s message that creativity doesn’t have to be perfect, you just have to start, students chose one color and mixed it with black and white to create different shades and tints for their own dots.
The results were colorful, creative, and uniquely theirs! ❤️
If you could create your own dot, what color would you choose?* 🎨

👏🐾 Let’s hear it for our Bulldog VIPs! 🦴
Our first Bulldog VIP Day was a HUGE success last week! Each week, Mrs. Fink randomly draws 2–3 names from the Bulldog Bones that students have earned for making great choices and working hard at school.
And being a VIP comes with a pretty awesome perk, the winners get to bring a friend and enjoy a special activity with a staff member! ❤️
From having fun to making memories and building connections, our first VIPs had a great time!
👏 Give these Bulldogs a round of applause and check out some of the VIP fun!
Keep earning those Bulldog Bones—you never know whose name will be drawn next! 🐾🦴

Sometimes it’s the little things that make school feel like home. ❤️
Two Bulldogs. Backpacks on. Walking side by side down the hallway. It may seem like an ordinary moment, but these are the moments that make elementary school special—friendships, smiles, laughter, and memories being made along the way.
Here’s to the friendships that make every school day a little brighter! 🐾

Our elementary Bulldogs started the year with teamwork, fun, and plenty of Bulldog spirit during our PBIS Kickoff Event!
Students joined their House groups and rotated through three fun stations:
🐾 Team Challenge — working together to accomplish a task
🛝 Playground Time — having fun and building relationships
🎭 Staff Skit — learning about problem-solving in a fun way
It was a great opportunity for our DK–5th grade students to build connections while practicing what it means to be Respectful, Responsible, and Resilient.
We’re excited to keep growing our PBIS program and celebrating all year long! ❤️🤍

Morenci student Lillian Harsh recently completed a week-long internship through Lenawee Now’s 2026 Internship Program with Jebee, a career and college search app for teens.
From sitting in on meetings to finding bugs in the app, Lillian gained valuable real-world experience while learning more about what she wants in a future career.
Way to take advantage of new opportunities, Lillian! 👏
