Happy Friday! We have completed another week of school. However, before it ended the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade had the opportunity to take a Field Trip to Boyne Falls to learn about the Fly Wheelers and their preservation of local history. They avoided the rain, it did warm up just a bit on the first day of Fall, and they arrived back to the school with smiles and great memories!
Good Thursday Afternoon! We are almost to the end of the week. Tomorrow night, Friday, the Varsity Volleyball team will be entertaining Lancers of Ellsworth at 5:30 p.m. If you have a chance take the opportunity to see the girls play. Mr. Grangood
Good Afternoon! Quick reminder, Grades 4, 5, and 6 will be headed to the Flywheelers in Boyne Falls for a field trip. Excellent opportunity to learn, socialize with other schools, and enjoy an experience outside of the classroom. Have a wonderful evening Wildcat family. Mr. Grangood
Good Afternoon! Since we are well into our second full week of school, and coming to the end of September, students are bringing on snacks to enjoy throughout the day. We strongly encourage them to have snacks, especially healthy snacks. Even though we would suggest carrots and celery, not even adults would want to eat that everyday. However, a snack with low sugar, less caffeine, and more hydrating is promoted. Have a great evening! Mr. Grangood
Happy Monday! We are off to another week of school. One quick note, Friday, September 30 we are planning a Community Luncheon. The menu theme is "summer" which means burgers, hotdogs, and salads. If you can make it, or know someone who can, please put it on your calendar. Have a great evening!

Good Evening Wildcat Families! Just a quick reminder, this Friday at 8:25, Mrs. Larkin will be leading her annual 9/11 Memorial Ceremony here at the school.

Attached, are some pictures of the various gardens in the front of the school. Mrs. Larkin and her Garden Club along with Mrs. Beckner's 4-6 grade class have spent a lot of time weeding, trimming, and making beautiful the indigenous plants. Have a great night, and we look forward to another great school day tomorrow. Mr. Grangood

Good Morning!
With the start of school (Tuesday, August 30) quickly approaching, we would like to address some questions that have come into the office, and try to make the summer-to-school transition a little easier for all of us.
First, on our website, we have added a link to "Meal Magic." The link be found on our website. In the righthand corner of the home page, click the menu button. Then, tap the "Student and Parent" option found in the second column. Finally scroll down to the "Meal Magic" link. The attachment will provide instructions to download an app or to complete a meal form electronically. It is quick, easy, and private. However, if you are not tech savvy, we will provide a hard copy form to your child(ren) during the first week of school.
Also, on our website, there is another link directly below the "Meal Magic" link labeled, "2022-2023 School Supplies." These are supply ideas based on the grade level for your student(s). School supplies are not mandatory, but are suggested for each student. If you enjoy Back-to-School shopping, and want to buy extra, our staff will happily accept donations of all supplies.
Finally, we will have a varsity volleyball season. Practice will start on Monday, August 29. More information will be coming! If interested in playing, please contact the office at (231) 584- 2000. Please remember, all athletes need a physical form completed before practice or participation in any sport.
Thank you.
Mr. Grangood
