Mesick Consolidated Schools

Senor Awards will be this Friday at 7:00. Seniors and their parents will receive a meeting link in their student's school email tomorrow at 5:00 pm. Extended family, teachers, and community members, keep an eye out for a YouTube link for a live stream of the awards ceremony coming shortly.

We are extremely proud to announce that during the Fall and Winter seasons of the 2019-2020 school year, 22 Mesick Student-Athletes were recognized as Academic All-Conference in the West Michigan "D" League. It is difficult to be a student-athlete, but it is even more difficult to do it at a high level! The following Mesick Student-Athletes received this honor: Seniors - McKensey Kendall, Joseph Stewart, Tyler Ford, Elizabeth Hamilton, Tanner Ford, Colin Cook, and Tenzin McGregor. Juniors - Kaylee O'Neill, Gabe Parrish, Mitchell Rogers, Maggie Shermak, Ivy Kendziorski, Julie Musial, Trinity Harris, and Cole Spencer. Sophomores - Connor Simmer, Lexy Abraham, Clayton Stimmer, Kaylee Carson, Mattie Akom, Shannyn Spencer, and Jillian Hillier. Congratulations to all! Certificates for this achievement will be available for pick-up on June 1st which will also be the next pick up for learning packets.

Since we are approaching the official start to summer season this weekend, tonight's Quizziz will be Summer Trivia! This will be our last Quizziz for the week. WE will not have a Quizziz on Friday so that Senior Awards can be attended. Good luck everyone!

Hi Mesick families! Day 2 on self-esteem. Kids who feel good about themselves have the confidence to try new things. They are more likely to try their best. They feel proud of what they can do! Self-esteem helps kids cope with mistakes and try again if they fail at first. This can help them do better in school, at home, and with friends and family. Here is a fun video for younger kids, all about what makes them special! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrPm7BasRBo Here is an encouragement jar activity for older kids (or for the whole family). There is such amazing power in beautiful words! “Beauty begins the moment you decided to be yourself.” -Coco Chanel Have a great day! -Ms. Stevens

Hi Mesick families! This weeks topic is self-esteem. What is self esteem, and why is it important? It’s used to describe a person’s overall sense of self-worth or personal value. It’s very important , because kids who feel good about themselves feel liked and accepted, confident, proud of what they do, and they believe in themselves. Kids with low self-esteem are critical of themselves, they focus on failures instead of successes, and lack confidence and a willingness to try new things at times. Self-esteem starts as early as babyhood and is important to grow from there! Early on, it can be showing positive attention, care, and acceptance. This week, I will share some activities to help build older student’s self-esteem. Here’s an activity that celebrates your child's traits and abilities through a self portrait activity! https://www.pbs.org/parents/crafts-and-experiments/build-confidence-with-a-self-portrait "The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice." -Peggy O'mara Have a great week! -Ms. Stevens

Happy Monday! Tonight's Quizziz will be focusing on grammar! See you at 6:45 pm for the game code!

Hi Mesick families! Connection and kindness- here are some ways we can stay connected in a time when we often feel so disconnected. Along with online platforms like google hangouts and zoom, and talking over the phone, here are a few ideas of ways to connect and take a break from screens: 1. Get a pen pal! Write a letter, postcard, or card to someone you know to let them know you’re thinking about them. Bonus- you can practice writing and patience too! 2. RAK- Random Act of Kindness. It’s important to follow social distancing guidelines, but that doesn’t eliminate all kind acts! Here are some examples: write or draw or create something to send to a friend or an older adult who may be lonely at this time, make a positive sign to put in your yard (or a neighbors), leave a note for your mail person or another essential worker as a thank you, send a note or thank you to your teacher or school staff, or even help out a little more around the house! 3. Make a gratitude jar- try and get your whole family to participate too! Write down things you are grateful for (small and big) put them in a jar, and read them at the end of the week. 4. Every family has a different schedule, but try and find 10 minutes or more to do a non-electronic activity together. This could be a playing board game, playing cards, cooking a meal, a conversation, building something, learning something new etc. 5. Connect with nature! Get outside and explore, see, feel, listen and touch things in nature and remember that all things are connected! “Do small things with great love” -mother Teresa Have a kind weekend! -Ms. Stevens

Congratulations to our top 3 tonight: Lily, the Stankes, & LA. See you all back on Friday!
