KINDERGARTEN ROUNDUP
APRIL 21, 2017
9:00 a.m.—2:00 p.m.
From the desk of the Principal:
There are 15 students involved in Ram Camp
this year at the elementary. Ram Camp provides
opportunities to strengthen math and reading skills
for those students that need extra assistance.
The elementary had a very successful March
reading month. Ronald McDonald gave the students a wonderful assembly. The McEducator’s
night at the Hillsdale McDonalds generated close to
$400. The theme “Growing Great Readers” allowed
the students to prompt their interest in reading.
In the middle and high school we recognized
15 students for student of the month for their efforts
in the classroom.
Congratulations to Stone Arnold for setting a
couple of school records—career points: 1280 and
season points: 399 and for making All State Honorable Mention.

SPANISH NEWS—
Spanish 1—We are still learning Unit 4 which relates to
learning words related to going shopping and invitations.
We are also learning about Oaxaca, Mexico. For March,
students built buildings for a city. They did a really good
job making them 3D! U4E3 test will be after break. Projects are due April 18th. Students were already given
the guidelines in March. Students were also given homework packets for each chapter. They do not have one to
complete during break, but will need to practice their
vocabulary for U4E3 either on Quizlet or handmade
cards. There will also be a journal entry due about what
they did one day on break. Please keep checking Powerschool. I have been updating it regularly and posting
upcoming assignments to help keep parents and students up to date.
Spanish 2—We are still learning Unit 4 which relates to
expressing desires and how to get around. We are also
learning about Madrid, Spain. For March, students completed rooms to build a Spanish style house. I loved
their creativity! U4E3 test will be after spring break.
Projects Unit 4 are due April 18th. Students were given
guidelines in March. Over break students will be writing
a journal entry about what they did one day on break.
They will also be doing flashcards on Quizlet or going
through their handmade ones. I have been updating
Powerschool regularly and have posted upcoming assignments in order to help parents and students to stay up
to date on what is due or coming up in class. If you
have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
7th grade—By April we have been together 3 weeks!
Students have learned common greetings and countries.
They are learning to identify the Spanish speaking countries on a map. For April, they will be learning more
greeting words and how to carry on a basic conversation. Their enthusiasm to learn Spanish is contagious!
They are very eager to learn and will have fun learning
Spanish and some culture of Spanish speaking countries.
Puerto Rico trip is still open if you want to enroll! It is
open to 8th-11th graders. We already had our first fund
raiser. There will be more information about more coming soon. The trip will be in June 2018. The closer we
get to our departure the more the monthly cost will go
up. Make sure your student gets enrolled! If you have
any questions, please contact me at [email protected]. Gracias, Sra Whitacre
COUNSELOR’S CORNER
As we approach the end of our 3rd marking
period, it is important to continue to encourage our
kids to stay strong and on task. I know this can be
difficult with spring break right around the corner.
We thank you parents for your continued support in
helping us give our best to your kids.
Testing is just around the corner as you all
know, when we come back from Spring Break testing will be upon us. Please make sure your child
(ren) are getting plenty of sleep and eating properly. Also, encourage them to not overwhelm themselves with testing. Just focus on one question at a
time and do their best. We are all here to support
and help them as they transition into the testing
cycle.
Seniors, remember after Spring Break you
will be starting your English project. Please take
the time during break to get your senior scrapbook
album. If you need help with an album, please see
Mrs. Hall. Again, enjoy this project and have fun
with this, it is a representation of you. If you have
any questions about the project or need clarification
on the requirements, please speak with Mrs. Postula. She wants this to be a fun experience as well.
If you have any questions please feel free to
contact me at [email protected] or 517-287-4214.

Solar Eclipse….Coming soon to a
state near you!! On August 21,
Michigan will experience a 75% solar
eclipse. It will begin at 1 pm and continue until
3:45pm with the darkest time at 2:27pm. The last
time we experienced a solar eclipse in Michigan was
Christmas day 2000. It is NOT safe to look at a solar
eclipse with your naked eye but you can purchase
solar eclipse sunglasses which make viewing safe.
The middle school student council will be selling solar eclipse sunglasses this spring for $1 a pair. You
may purchase sunglasses for your whole family. The
student council will be visiting elementary classrooms
to pass our fliers and information. Middle school and
high school students will be able to purchase them
before school during a couple weeks in May. Be
watching for more information to come home.
