Happy Mother's Day! In writing class, the fifth graders wrote essays about the impact their mothers or an influential mother figure has on their lives. The writing prompt was "Why does mom or a special person deserve a day of pampering?" They submitted the essays and the team worked with The Avenue in Saginaw to honor these special people with gift cards, and 6 students were chosen to present their special people with gift baskets donated by The Avenue. Such a special way to honor our special people and our mothers for all that they do!
We hope that all of our mothers have a special Mother's Day weekend!

Fifth grade students were all smiles today as they released 113 salmon parr into the Tittabawassee River today as part of the Salmon in the Classroom project. The fifth graders experienced raising the salmon in class as they watched the eggs hatch into alevin and grow through various life cycle stages until finally getting to release the salmon. Additionally, students explored and investigated many aspects of how salmon have played a part in the conservation of the Great Lakes ecosystem and river systems.
