📚💼 Our seniors in Mrs. Zuver’s Financial Literacy course are preparing for their futures! One of the key chapters in the Dave Ramsey Financial Literacy curriculum focused on career preparation, and Mrs. Zuver took it a step further. Students worked on creating professional résumés, participated in mock interviews with peers, and even had the chance to interview with an administrator or counselor. This hands-on experience will help them gain valuable insight into the interview process and set them on the path to success in their future careers. 🚀 #morencibulldogs

Mrs. Beemer's sixth-grade leadership class created special Veterans Day posters and presented them to Mr. Petry for display at the American Legion. Honoring those who served!

We understand that families may have additional challenges that serve as barriers to getting their students to school. Please connect with your building principal or administrator to learn what resources exist to help. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Our third graders had a blast wrapping up the third week of school! Visitors from the Lenawee ISD helped kick off our Outdoor Science and Literacy initiative with a fun "Next Time You See a Spiderweb" lesson. Students hunted for spiderwebs, heard a story from Mrs. Stiver, and made their own webs. They also tried peanut butter and jelly burritos from our "Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match" book study. Not everyone was a fan, but it was fun to try something new!

Our first graders had a blast playing Rock, Paper, Scissors during math! ✋✂️🪨 We tallied up the results to see which wins the most – rock, paper, scissors, or a tie! So much fun while learning! #morencibulldogs 🐾📊

Don’t let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Consider that sometimes a stomach ache or headache is a sign of anxiety. Talk to teachers, school counselors, and other parents for advice on how to make your child feel comfortable and excited about learning.

We had a beautiful day for a walking field trip to Stair District Library! 📚 This special trip helps prepare our students for their upcoming Lansing adventure, teaching them important lessons like walking safely and respectfully around the Capitol grounds, learning the role of a docent, how to respond appropriately, and how to respect museum exhibits and artifacts. We even had a chance to dive into some Constitution Day lessons! Be sure to check out the goodies your child brought home from the library to support today's activities. For now, enjoy these pictures from our day! 📸

While attendance is important, we also want to create a safe and healthy learning environment. We understand some absences may be required due to illness. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance.

Our 5th graders had an unforgettable time at camp this week! From climbing the rock wall 🧗‍♂️ to tie-dyeing shirts 🎨 and even getting hands-on with tarantulas and cockroaches 🕷️🐜, the adventure was non-stop. We had beautiful weather to enjoy the waterslide 💦, and we wrapped up the day with hilarious skits and dance-offs! 🎶 We’re so thankful for our students to have this opportunity to try new experiences and have fun with their friends and classmates. #morencibulldogs

One or two missed days a week might not seem like a lot, but lost time adds up over a student’s educational career. Absences can also affect the whole classroom if the teacher has to slow down learning to help students catch up. To learn more, visit lisd.us/attendance
