Mining Team

Two of our 5th grade teachers, Miss Burmeister and Mrs. Bouwens, stayed cool this summer in the Upper Peninsula learning about Michigan history.

In this photo, we are at Cliff’s taconite mine.  The underground iron ore mines were in full operation from 1867-1967.   The upper peninsula of Michigan is rich with iron ore and the mine location along Lake Superior is the perfect location for shipping the ore to other parts of the country.

Mrs. Bouwens and Miss Burmeister are standing with a group of teachers in front of a huge truck with GIGANTIC tires.  Can you find them?

WALK-A-THON FUN

Today all of the students in ECSE, MW PK and K and Grades 3, 4 and 5 walked for our all school walk-a-thon from 9:45 until 10:30. The weather was beautiful and the music was fantastic! Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Royse for organizing this event and to all of the volunteers for helping to set up for the event. It was a fantastic morning. Tomorrow, students in ECSE TH K and Grades 1 & 2 walk at 1:45 pm. I can’t wait to put my walking shoes back on!

Miss Burmiester made this great walk-a-thon video! Enjoy…and thank you for all you have done to support this once a year fundraiser for our PTC events.
