Our elementary students recently enjoyed a fun and engaging assembly to kick off the Stair District Library Summer Reading Program! 📚☀️
Following the assembly, students took a field trip to the library, where Ms. Leddy shared a story, and each class participated in a hands-on activity. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to explore their local library and get excited about reading all summer long.
We are fortunate to have such a great resource right here in our community, and we encourage families to take advantage of this free summer program. We hope to see many of our Bulldogs participating in the fun, learning, and adventures that await at the Stair District Library this summer! #BulldogPride #SummerReading #MorenciBulldogs #CommunityConnections 📖🐾

Last Thursday, our kindergarten graduates received a very special surprise! ❤️🎓
After designing their own monsters earlier this spring, each kindergartener received a custom-made stuffie made by one of our 8th graders. Our 8th grade students spent weeks sewing and bringing the kindergarteners' imaginative drawings to life.
The smiles on graduation day said it all! We are so proud of our 8th graders for helping create such a memorable experience for our youngest students.

⚡️ Our fourth-grade students recently welcomed representatives from Midwest Energy & Communications (MEC), who visited to teach them about electricity and electrical safety. Each student received an educational booklet, participated in a safety lesson, and learned about an exciting poster contest opportunity.
We are proud to announce that Owen Edwards was selected as Morenci's first-place winner, and his poster is now advancing to the next level of competition, where it will compete against other winning entries from across the county for the chance to be featured on a billboard! Congratulations also to Brayden Scivoletto, who earned runner-up honors.
As part of the contest, the winning classroom received $500 in classroom supplies. In a wonderful display of teamwork and generosity, Mrs. Rohde and Mrs. Elliott chose to share the award, allowing all fourth-grade students to benefit. To celebrate, every fourth grader enjoyed a pizza party!
Congratulations to Owen, Brayden, Mrs. Rohde, Mrs. Elliott, and all of our fourth-grade students on their hard work and creativity.🎉⚡️🍕🏆

🍕🎨 Our 2nd grade artists have been hard at work! Students combined art and history while learning all about pizza. They explored how pizza first began, how it made its way to America, and how the Lombardi family opened the first pizzeria in New York in 1905.
Students then put their creativity to work by using form, shape, texture, and space to design their own pizzas with their favorite toppings. Great job, Bulldogs! 🍕👏

Our 4th-grade students recently got a hands-on look at the world of welding! 🔧
They learned about different career opportunities in welding and then put their skills to the test. With sunglasses on and playdough in hand, students practiced creating their own “welds” before trying out a welding simulation.
It was a fun and interactive experience—and who knows, we may have some future welders in this group!

📚✨ Mystery Reader Surprise! ✨📚
Our students had a fun surprise during Mystery Reader when they discovered the reader was our very own first-grade teacher, Ms. Hoffman, and a published author!
Ms. Hoffman shared her children’s book “I Won’t Eat Broccoli! I Won’t, I Won’t!” with students, and they loved hearing the story read by the author herself. We are so proud of Ms. Hoffman and excited to celebrate this wonderful accomplishment within our Morenci Elementary family. 💙🤍
Her book is available on Amazon if you’d like to grab a copy for your family!

🍀 If I Found a Pot of Gold… 🍀
Our DK students had some fun dreaming about what they would do if they found a pot of gold! Their ideas were creative, thoughtful, and a little adventurous!
Some of their plans included:
✨ Putting it in a piggy bank
✨ Giving it to their mom
✨ Buying a box of race cars
✨ Hiding it in a cave
✨ Putting it by a tree
✨ Buying supplies to build a treehouse
✨ Keeping it in their pocket
✨ Even getting on a plane! ✈️
We love seeing our young Bulldogs use their imaginations and share their ideas. Who knows… maybe they’ll find that pot of gold someday! 🌈💰

Morenci Area Schools’ 5th-grade Science Olympiad team captured 1st place overall out of 12 schools at the Tri-County Science Olympiad, showcasing their knowledge, creativity, and engineering skills.
Students began preparing in January, practicing a couple of days a week after school. Morenci competitors placed in seven of the eight events, earning multiple top finishes.
Top results included 1st place in Ping Pong Propulsion (Honor Erskin and Owen Apger), where students designed a device to launch ping pong balls at a target; 1st place in Reach for the Sky (Owen Apger and Madelyn Timberman), a solar system knowledge competition; and 1st place in Michigan Spiders (Junior Bussell and Paisley McMunn). Additional placements included 3rd in Ologies (Madelyn Timberman and Paisley McMunn) and 5th-place finishes in Tower Challenge (Honor Erskin and Audrey Klinger), Load Masters (Jaxson Johnson and Ben Schell), and Nerves Do What (Ben Schell and Paisley McMunn).
Coach Andi Rorick praised the team’s dedication and teamwork throughout the season.
“Our motto was, ‘Work hard, play hard,’ and the students truly lived that out. Seeing the upper elementary cheering as they brought home the trophy was an unforgettable moment.”
Morenci’s younger teams also had strong showings. The 3rd-grade team placed 1st in Wing Wonders (Cassius Craig and Ezri Hall), while the 4th-grade team earned several top finishes, including 4th-place in Tower Tycoon (Amelia Gehring and Brayden Scivoletto).
Morenci Area Schools also thanked coaches Taylor Curtis, Jennifer Rohde, and Andi Rorick, along with volunteer Rebecca Cox, whose support helped guide the students to success.
