A huge thank you to the freshman parents who have signed up to help with concessions! We still have a few dates open that need to be filled - Monday 1/31, Monday 2/7, and Saturday 2/19 (we need several time slots filled). If you have a few hours to help, it would be greatly appreciated! Send me an email gilletten@mesick.org
Today's Junior High Girls Basketball practice will be cancelled. The game scheduled for Monday, January 31st will still take place at home vs Walkerville at 530 pm.
A little late, but here are our November student of the month recipients. The November trait was self-control.
Due to a high number of anticipated staff absences because of medical and personal reasons, and an inadequate number of available substitute teachers, Mesick Schools will be closed tomorrow, Friday, Jan. 28. Even with teachers who would be present agreeing to cover classes during their preparation periods, we still would have a number of classes (especially in the Jr./Sr. HS) that would not be covered.
Because we are not closing due to student sickness, extra-curricular activities will occur as planned on Friday and Saturday.
Thank you for your understanding.
Joe Hollenbeck, Superintendent

Junior High students in Mrs. Gillette’s class created their own pop-up books, then came down to the elementary to read them to our kids. They did a great job, and the elementary kids were very excited to see them.
Congratulations to our girls varsity basketball team who defeated Buckley last night! The girls have won 5 straight games and are now 8-2.

The boys travel to Baldwin tonight to take on the Panthers.

Good Morning, Mesick Community: Our school district will be closed today for a Snow Day. This was a difficult decision due to the days missed already due to weather, but necessary due to the heavy snow that arrived overnight. Thank you for your support and be safe if you're on the roads today. Joe Hollenbeck, Superintendent
Special thanks to college students Cole (GVSU), Joey (CMU), Elizabeth (CMU), Frankie (LSSU), Maggie (Baker), & Andrew (NMC), who presented to 11th & 12th grade students today about their college experiences. We appreciate these alumni taking time out of their college break to give back to the community by serving as role models for high school students. It was great to hear about both the challenges they've overcome & the successes they've experienced. Wishing them the best as they continue their studies!
