This award recognizes students who have the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism to an outstanding degree. Makayla is one of only eight seniors in Lenawee County to receive this honor.
One of our fellow Bulldogs is making a big impact outside of our building. Rebecca Cox has been selected as a Student Senator to represent the State of Michigan for Educators Rising. Her role with this honor is to bring forth ideas about education to discuss with other state's Student Senators to make suggestions for the National Conference. Be sure to congratulate her as you see her around the community!
Bulldog Fridays offer an exciting opportunity to reward students while enjoying a lively karaoke session.
Four of our Morenci High School Band members participated in the 2024 LCBDA Honors Band on November 2 &3. The four participants from Morenci were Lilly Harsh, Katelyn Ruse, Harrison Sarnac and Tessa Zuvers. They spent the entire day rehearsing with approximately 100 students from the other 11 bands in Lenawee County. Their guest conductor was Jared Throneberry, recently retired director of bands from Manchester High School. What a great experience for these students. Way to go!

This year, we're excited to offer German as a new language class! Our students dove into learning all the polite ways to order food and drinks, just like they would at a restaurant or festival in Germany.
To bring this lesson to life, they practiced by ordering German chocolate bars and chose from apple juice, Coke, Fanta, or Mezzo Mix (a tasty blend of Coke and Fanta)! 🍫🥤
It was such a fun and interactive way to reinforce vocabulary! 🎉
🎃👻 The Middle School Halloween Dance was a spooktacular success! Students had a blast showing off their costumes and dancing the night away. Huge shoutout to DJ Sammy C for keeping the energy high all night and for his generous support of our students. If anyone is looking for an awesome DJ, we recommend him!

Thanks to everyone who made this night unforgettable! 🧛♂️💀🕸️
