Today Mrs. Bailey’s third grade class were doing a hands on lesson making aqueducts. Students had to create their own design, test it, then troubleshoot any problems. Students worked as a team, and graded themselves on a rubric. Great work Bulldogs!

Christmas Giving Tree Program - We are trying to get Christmas gifts donated for a small number of students/families this year, although we are unable to have the traditional "Giving Tree" with requested donations on it at sporting events & concerts as we have in years past due to COVID. Displaying the Giving Tree at school events has been our primary means of publicity for gathering donations, so we are hoping for donations from staff & community volunteers who see our post on the school Facebook page & are able to help. If you are interested in purchasing a gift for a Mesick student, please email me at rasmussenj@mesick.org or call the school at 231-885-1201, ext. 3402. I will then provide you a list of some possibilities from which you can choose. Thank you! Wishing you a blessed Christmas season!
