Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at camp this week! From climbing the rock wall 🧗♂️ to tie-dyeing shirts 🎨 and even getting hands-on with tarantulas and cockroaches 🕷️🐜, the adventure was non-stop. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the waterslide 💦, and we wrapped up the day with hilarious skits and dance-offs! 🎶 We’re so thankful for our students to have this opportunity to try new experiences and have fun with their friends and classmates. #morencibulldogs
Last week, we hosted an assembly where students were introduced to the Morenci Elementary School branch of the TLC Credit Union! Through this program, students can set personal savings goals and make regular deposits into their own savings accounts. The Student-Run In-School Credit Union empowers young people to build personal finance and employability skills. Student workers gain valuable experience in general credit union operations and learn work ethics as branch managers, tellers, bookkeepers, and auditors.
Student savers can open a no-fee savings account with an initial deposit of just $0.25. They can set savings goals for the year and even receive prizes for developing strong saving habits, showing how rewarding saving can be!
Keep an eye on your child’s folder today or tomorrow for important paperwork. We encourage families to sign up by September 26th to be ready when our school branch opens in November (though you can join later as well). For more information, visit:

Did you know you can improve your child’s attendance by reducing late arrivals and early checkouts? Every minute counts toward learning. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Establishing a bedtime and morning routine can go a long way toward being on time and in school every day. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Regularly missing school impacts students in numerous ways. Chronic absenteeism not only hurts high school students in the classroom, but creates poor attendance habits that carry over to college and the workforce. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Building good attendance habits early is key to staying on track throughout school. By middle school, absenteeism becomes a leading indicator of graduation. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Build the habit of good attendance early. Starting in kindergarten, too many absences can cause children to fall behind in school. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
We had a fantastic Grandparents Breakfast at the elementary today, with over 300 people in attendance! Thank you to all the wonderful grandparents and families who joined us. Your presence made this event truly special! 💙 #morencibulldogs
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school—and themselves. By building this habit early, students learn right away that going to school every day is important, helping them succeed in high school and beyond. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Students can still fall behind if they miss just a day or two every few weeks. Missing 10%, or about 18 days, increases the chance that your student will not read or master math at the same level as their peers. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Students are considered chronically absent when they miss 10% or more of the school year. This includes both excused and unexcused absences. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
Chronic absenteeism has risen to a concerning level, both in Lenawee County and across the state, in the years following the pandemic. Nearly 1 in 3 Lenawee students were chronically absent during the 2022-2023 school year. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.
September is Attendance Awareness Month, a nationwide effort to recognize the connection between regular school attendance and academic achievement. Join us in making regular attendance a priority this school year! To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

🎉 The 4th graders had an amazing trip to Lansing, Michigan, where they visited the Michigan Historical Museum! 🏛️ They loved learning about Michigan's rich history and exploring all the fascinating exhibits. It was a fantastic day full of fun and education for our students! 📚✨ #morencibulldogs
✈Lieutenant Colonel Kreischer visited our students and talked to them about his career flying an F-16 Fighter Jet. He is based out of the 180th Fighter Wing in Toledo, OH. Our students had so many questions and learned a lot from him. Fourth grader Nash Ekins presented him with a poem that he had written after seeing Colonel Kreischer fly over the school. #morencibulldogs
