Corunna Public Schools’ focuses
on the whole child. Part of what we do
every day is to make sure we recognize
those students who do “a little more”
than what’s expected. Here are some
samples of our “GREAT” students!!!
Tabitha McGhee
Mrs. Dettman said,
“Reading is a lifelong skill that we
hope all students
will come to enjoy.
Therefore, at CMS
we challenge our
students to read at
least 40 books by
the end of the school
year. In order to
become a member
of our Reading Hall
of Fame, students
will spend hours
and hours reading.
It is my honor to
congratulate Tabby
for meeting this
goal!”
Gavon Conner
Mrs. Rawlins stated,
“I was coming out
of the office with my
hands full. Gavon
was walking with a
friend, but noticed
my struggle and
stopped to open
the door for me. As
always, he had a big
smile on his face as
he did this. I love
Gavon’s
positive
attitude and seeing
his smile every day
at school!”
Jacob Bowen
Mrs. Dettman said,
“The sixth graders
at CMS are given the
challenge to attempt
to read 40 books by
the end of the school
year. Many achieve
this goal early and
go on to read more
books than they ever
dreamed possible.
It is my honor to
congratulate Jacob
for meeting this
goal!!”
Kai Tenorio
Mrs.
Dettman
reported, “You have
spent many hours
reading. I appreciate
your hard work and
realize the dedication
it takes to meet such
a rigorous goal. Keep
up the great work! I
can’t wait to see how
many books you will
read this year.”
Farmers for a Day
First graders at Elsa Meyer in the classroom of Mrs. TerMeer
had a very special visitor recently. Mr. Tim Brooks, local
farmer and owner of the greenhouse, Farmer's Garden on
Hibbard Road, shared his expertise with the students about
seeds and planting season. The students have begun a unit on
life cycles. The first life cycle they studied was that of a seed. Mr.
Brooks brought many flowers for the students to investigate, a
variety of seeds to inspect and a classroom garden. The class
garden gives the students the opportunity to watch as the seed
sprouts, grows roots and more. The students will move on to
the life cycle of a butterfly as soon as the butterfly larva arrive.
This community/ school partnership is just another example
of why it’s “Great to be Gold.”
Daddy Daughter Dance 2015
Every little girl is her daddy’s “Little Princess”. Dads
and their daughters spent the evening of May 7th at
Rollhaven in Owosso participating in the annual Daddy
Daughter Dance. The event was a great opportunity to
fine tune dance moves and waltz the night away. This
is an annual May event between the Corunna Public
Schools and Rollhaven. As evidenced here, the couples
had a great time and made many special memories. This
is just another reason why it’s “Great to be Gold!”
STEM-- Properties of Flight
Nellie Reed students had an
opportunity to take their learning
outside and let their imaginations
soar... literally. In their STEM
class, students learned about the
basic properties of flight and were
able to put this new knowledge
to the test with kites and paper
planes that the students built (mostly) themselves. After
building and decorating, students were able to fly their
creations outside on the playground. Student were then
able to take their kites and planes home to continue the
learning experience. This is just another example of why
it’s “Great to be Gold!”
Corunna Students Are In Step
Ellie Trudeau
Mrs. Rivette shared,
“Ellie
has
been
working so hard this
year in every area!
She always comes to
school with a smile
on her face and is
willing to help where
needed! Great job
Ellie!!”
Zach Worthington
Mrs. Mathias said,
“Zach has worked
so hard recently.
Classwork is done
well and he is
participating more
than anyone else.
He is so positive, it
is infectious. I’m
very proud of him.”
Jaden Moiles
Mrs. Rivette stated,
“Jaden has shown
great improvement
in completing tasks
and putting forth the
extra effort to make
sure his work is done!
Great Job Jaden!”
Students in third through eighth and eleventh grade at Corunna Public Schools are right in the middle of M-STEP
testing. The state assessment, formerly known as the MEAP, is now being given as an online assessment in the spring.
The state has set the testing schedule and students at CPS are working hard to complete their testing. Students
in fifth and eighth grade have already finished their math, English language arts, and social studies assessments.
Fourth and seventh graders are right in the middle of their English language arts, math, and science testing. In the
coming weeks third, sixth, and eleventh graders will take similar assessments. This is the first year that the state
has offered the assessment in an on-line format and the students and staff members seem to be excited about the
changes. The students are taking their time and working hard, while the staff members are working together to
ensure the students have the opportunities and flexibility they need to continue learning in the classroom, while
also having enough time to finish their assessments. Individual student results will be made available in the fall
when the district receives them.
