Great news! As you may have heard, we are able to open up spectator numbers to 250 for indoor events and 500 for outdoor events. Please remember that the MHSAA requires masks to be worn at indoor and outdoor events. Following MHSAA requirements is what is allowing our students to play sports again. We have JR High football and Varsity volleyball tonight, JV football tomorrow and I want to see you at lots of other competitions this fall and winter so please be sure to keep your mask on and practice social distancing at all events. It’s about doing what we need to do so kids can keep competing in sports. See you soon!
Tomorrow's Junior High Football game will now be played in Mesick at 6pm vs Brethren. Hope to see you there!

Congrats to the varsity football team for a great win against Marion tonight. The final score was Mesick 43 Marion 22.
It’s always fun to come to school and find a friend dressed like you.
Tonight is our first home varsity football game. Due to restrictions on crowd sizes, players and band members are only allowed 2 guests each. Unfortunately, this means that students and community will currently not be able to attend as spectators unless they are the guest of a player. We have set up a live stream that will be available on our YouTube channel located at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZEctxCtQyvEKdXBEBQ_WfQ
Reminder elementary picture day is Monday, September 21.
Athletic Announcements: Tonight's JV/V Volleyball game will now be a Varsity only contest starting at 6pm in Mesick. We will still be enforcing the two spectators per participant rule for this contest (four spectators are allowed for athletes with four parents). Also for JV football parents, tonight's contest at Marion is also limited to two spectators (four spectators with four parents). Tickets were not disbursed yet but you are still able to attend! Just check in at the ticket gate and you will be all set! Please make sure to social distance and wear your mask at all times. This goes for all indoor/outdoor events whether we are competing home or away. Have a great day and Go Bulldogs!
Any 4th and 5th grade girls interested in playing basketball this Fall, there will be practice this Sunday morning at the Elementary Gymnasium from 10 - 11:30. There will be more information being passed out to the girls later this week! Go Bulldogs!
Good Morning Bulldogs!
A reminder that we have our first PTO meeting of the year tonight at 6:00 pm. The meeting will take place under the pavilion at the elementary school. We are looking for new members to help with all the great things the PTO does for our kids and school. We hope to see you this evening.
In order to adhere to social distancing guidelines, tonight's Board of Education meeting will be held outside (under the pavilion at the south end of the elementary school). The meeting begins at 6:00 p.m.
It was a successful week for our Mesick student-athletes who were finally able to get back in to action for the first time since March 9th! On Wednesday, our JH Cross Country team competed in Cadillac. Gunner Hallett (6th grade) and Bryce Akom (8th grade) each placed in the top 10 in their division. Cody Linna (7th) was able to go the distance and bring home first place for the Bulldogs! Last night, our JV Volleyball team fell in two close sets with Brethren while the varsity swept three straight sets against the Bobcats. The sets went 25-9, 25-21, and 25-16. Great Job to all involved. Our JH Volleyball girls take the court on Monday/Wednesday next week with JV/V Volleyball playing on Thursday. JV Football will be playing Thursday at Marion while the Varsity Football team will look to defend their conference championship at home on Friday night vs Marion. Please remember, at this point we are only allowing two spectators per participant at home events. As the season progresses, we will be looking at opening up the events to more spectators if possible. But again, for now there are restrictions including social distancing and wearing a mask at all times. We should have a streaming service up and running by next week so anyone who wants to tune in, will be able to watch the contests live via YouTube. Have a great weekend and Go Bulldogs!
Just a reminder that tomorrow is picture day for 6th-12th grade. Order forms were sent home in August, or you can order online. Information for online ordering is available on Facebook and our Live Feed on the website.
Hello Everyone,
We are in desperate need of bus drivers. This is a good job with competitive pay and benefits. Please contact Mesick Schools and join the Bulldog Family. Please pass this along!
Fall Sports Update: Football is back! The MHSAA has officially reintroduced Football back into the Fall 2020 schedule. There are a lot of moving parts but JH, JV, and Varsity officially begin practice today. JV/V will continue to have practice right after school while the JH will practice from 5-7 pm. JV/V football will resume games next week with their regularly scheduled opponents (this can change, please check the Mesick app frequently to stay on top of changes). We will update everyone whenever there is a change to the schedule or an update on a procedure. Junior High players who did not have a physical last year will need one before starting practice. Their first game is currently scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd. Also, please be aware that attendance for all home/away games will be limited to two guests per participant. This means each participant in Volleyball/Football/Cross Country will be given two tickets that they will then disburse to family/friends. You will need these tickets to be allowed to enter contests in Mesick or at an opponent's venue. Because of the limit on attendance, we will be live streaming all of our home contests. Please stay tuned for that link! If there comes an opportunity to add additional spectators at our home events, Mesick will do everything possible to make those accommodations. If you have questions or need clarification on a topic, please do not hesitate to email Coach Duby at dubyk@mesick.org. There are a lot of moving parts and we appreciate your patience as we navigate Fall Sports! Go Bulldogs!!
