Congratulations to our Mesick Varsity Volleyball team on their excellent season and playing in tonight's District Tournament championship final vs McBain Northern Michigan! The match begins at 6:00 @ our home gym! Please come out and support our team! Go Bulldogs!
Today our 5th grade students had a special visitor. Mr. Kern stopped in to teach a leaf art project. This is something Mr. Kern has been doing for our students for many years now. We are fortunate and thankful that Mr. Kern volunteers his time to give back to Mesick elementary. Students really enjoy this lesson, and they crest some very nice artwork in the process.

Mesick JR/SR High School News:
The Mesick National Honor Society members will begin their annual non-perishable food drive on November 1st. The National Honor Society will be striving to make the holidays a little brighter for those in need by collecting non-perishable food items. Each junior/senior high school class and each elementary class will be competing to gather the most donations and earn an ice cream reward party. General donations are also gladly accepted. This year’s food drive is being dedicated to the memory of Russ Abel, a 1953
graduate of Mesick High School who recently passed away. Mr. Abel loved his
community and had an immense impact on many people and organizations, exemplifying the ideals of the National Honor Society.
If you are able to help this cause, please bring any non-perishable food items or monetary donations to the Mesick JR/SR High School office, located at 581 S. Clark Street, or to the Floyd M. Jewett Elementary School office located at 210 East Mesick Avenue. Any money collected will be used to purchase food items. All donations will go to the Mesick Community Pantry, serving those in need within our community. We will be collecting items until December
1st at 8 a.m. Thank you for your support, as it has a huge impact on our efforts. If you have any questions, please contact, Christi Hulett, NHS advisor, at hulettc@mesick.org or 231-885-1200, extension 3414.
