Mesick Elementary 4th grade students were challenged in a STEM activity yesterday. Using the same size piece of paper and scissors, students had to find a way to make the longest “chain link”. They will be doing hands on STEM activities all week!
Mesick Elementary partnered with our SEEDs program to get classroom tower gardens. Today was harvest day, and our 3rd grade students had the opportunity to have a salad of leafy greens fresh out of the garden for lunch. Students were excited and proud to be eating vegetables that they helped grow.
First Graders have fun investing science today. We disolved sugar and candy in water and were amazed by the skittles rainbow! We sorted lucky charms by color and made math questions for our friends to solve to help us get ready for our data focused math unit test tomorrow.

A tarantula
A blandings turtle
And a ball python
Most children were excited to get to pet the python and the turtle.
The other two stayed in their cages.
Today the John Ball Zoo visited Mesick Elementary again. Our kindergarten, first second, and fifth grade students attended today. They had a great hands-on experience and this is a fun time for our kids.
Congratulations to our girls varsity basketball team! In a very unique sequence of events, first place Manistee Catholic had to play one final conference game after the conclusion of the regular season. Due to MHSAA regulations, that game had to be played after the first week of girls districts. Tonight Mason County Eastern defeated Manistee Catholic to create a 3 tie way for first place in our 10 team conference. Mesick girls are now Conference Co-Champions with Marion and Manistee Catholic. This is the first time since 2002 that Mesick has won a conference championship in girls basketball. Congratulations to everyone involved! It's a great time to be a Bulldog!
Congratulations to the boys varsity basketball team who defeated Manton last night in the district semifinals! The amount of support from the community at the game was incredible! We hope to see you at the district championship tomorrow night at 7pm in Manton. If you are interested in attending, tickets are available at gofan.co - search Mesick. If nothing pops up right away, just refresh the screen! Stay safe and Go Bulldogs!
