The 6th graders participated in the first-ever St. Charles Thanksgiving Day Parade! After being inspired by the book Balloons Over Broadway in Mrs. Meier's ELA class and learning about the history of the actual Macy's Day Parade, the students were challenged to design their own parade floats. They used balloons, pipe cleaners, paper, straws, and other materials to create their floats. Then, they attached the floats to robots that they had to program to travel the "parade route" -which was created with blue painter's tape. The activity was tons of fun, and the students did a lot of thinking and problem-solving.
(Thank you to Mrs. Andrusiak for letting me borrow some of the robots and to the foundation committee for funding the 6th grade STEM grant!)

November is a great time to focus on forming healthy habits, and our new challenge, "Holiday Hustle," is here to help students across Saginaw County do just that. This month, we're encouraging you to build routines that support your well-being, no matter how busy life gets.
To participate, log your activity at least three times a week throughout November. The goal is to find a rhythm that works for you and to stick with it. Even in small amounts, regular activity can create lasting habits that help you feel better, stay focused, and enjoy your daily life. Keep an eye out for information from your HRA on how to build new habits and break the ones you don't want.
As you work on these habits, you'll also have a chance to win Airborne Jump Park passes in our raffle. So, let's hustle this November—start building those healthy habits now and see how they can transform your life!
It's never too late to sign up visit. Visit.bwellsaginaw.org

The sixth graders in Mrs. Meier's class concluded their studies of North America with an escape room activity. They had to read, answer questions, and solve puzzles to uncover a four-digit code that would unlock a treasure box. The students worked diligently and enjoyed their rewards, posing for pictures after successfully escaping.

Some students from Mr. Swain's Broadcasting and Publications classes attended the CMU Media Rocks Event today where they participated in sessions focused on television broadcasting, journalism, news production, social media, and more!
Students in grades 10, 11, and 12 had the opportunity to tour the campus of Central Michigan University, meet with an admissions representative, and have lunch in the dining hall. It was great for the students to hear about the programs offered, campus life, and ways to pay for college. Thank you to CMU for having us! Fire Up Chips! 🔥
