Going the extra mile... last week in Coach Fitzpatrick’s P.E. class these students all ran a mile and the goal and standard was only 3 laps. Great job Bulldogs!
Senior, Kaimen Bliss, spends his afternoons participating in a work-based learning experience at the Harrietta Hills Trout Farm. He is involved in most aspects of daily fish farm operations, including feeding, cleaning, maintenance, reporting oxygen saturation levels, monitoring fish health, and more. Hands-on science! Keep up the great work, Kaimen!

All juniors and seniors participated in a career information workshop today to match aptitudes and interests with potential careers. The workshop was based on the ASVAB that students took a couple weeks ago. Although the ASVAB can be used for students planning to join the military, we did not share any of their results with the military. We were using it primarily as a career exploration tool for our students. Hopefully, students gained some useful information about career options.
Fourth grade started the Safety Around Water program at the Cadillac YMCA. This is a great program and a lot of fun for our kids
