We would like to give a BIG shout-out to our 5 varsity powerlifters for making the state meet, and also performing at a high level this past Saturday at Lake Orion High School, where the annual Powerlifting State Championship was held. All of our athletes were in the top 10 of their weight divisions: For our girls, Brooklyn Guenther finished 2nd, earning State Runner-Up, Emerie Flatman was 6th place, and Celeste Hallett was 8th place. On the boys' side, Cody Linna took 5th place and Josh Walker 9th. Also, our girls' team finished 9th out of over 100 of the top teams in the state. We are very proud of the efforts by our Coach Jon Hallett and our athletes throughout the season. Mesick is definitely on the map in Michigan for our powerlifting program. Thank you to everyone who provides support to our athletes, our coach, and our program.
Hello Everyone! 🐾
I am constantly amazed by how this community steps up for our students! We know many of you want to help but aren't always sure what’s needed. While you’re out shopping at Walmart, TJ Maxx, or Meijer, keep an eye out—there are some incredible clearance deals right now on items that would perfectly stock our student clothing closets!
To help get these items to the kids who need them, I’ll be hosting a Coat, Snowpants, Boots, and Shoe Drive UNTIL this Friday, March 13th.
What we need:
Elementary: Youth sizes in shoes/boots; coats and snowpants sizes YXS – YXL.
6th–12th Grade: Adult shoe/boot sizes 7 – 14; coats sizes AS – AXL.
Drop-off Info:
Please bring donations to the Jr/Sr High Office. I will make sure all elementary-sized items are delivered to the lower building!
A huge thank you from the Counseling Department in both buildings for your continued generosity!
Email Ms. Bush with any questions at busha@mesick.org
