It’s pizza time! Starting today - and for the next 4 weeks - we’re selling Little Caesar’s Pizza Kits to raise money so that your student and their classmates can attend Camp Michindoh in the fall of 2023. Every kit or coupon sold by your student earns $6 profit and makes an impact. All of the profits from your student’s pizza sales will be applied directly toward their camp payment. The cost of camp is approximately $200 per student, so every sale helps! It’s super easy to join the fun!

Congratulations to Jolynn Gautz (KG), Gracelynn Hamilton (2nd), Addison Guhl (3rd), Madison Ables (4th), Emma Cooley (5th), Elizabeth Mapes (5th), and Rebecca Cox (9th) for their well-deserved victories in the All County Bookmark Contest organized by the Lenawee District Library! Winning this contest is a remarkable achievement and a testament to their creativity and talent.

The Power Up Breakfast was a huge hit, especially with our special guests Spiderman and the Bulldog. Not only did families get to enjoy a healthy breakfast, but they also had the opportunity to interact with beloved characters. Such events can create a positive and fun atmosphere that leaves a lasting impression on attendees. Kudos to the cafeteria staff for their efforts in organizing such a successful event!

Our 4th Graders went to Michigan International Speedway for the Track and Explore field trip. They got to learn about the science of the race track, and about some of our local plants and animals.

We are in need of materials for summer school. Please see the list below and send in any materials that you may have available. It is greatly appreciated.

You're invited!...to the Grand Opening event for our newly installed outdoor musical instruments

Sunday, June 11, 1-3 p.m.

See the flyer below for more details...especially note that Drummunity is coming for a community drumming circle on Main Street and we'll be jamming with the high school jazz band! Just as with the outdoor musical instruments, you don't need any talent or musical aptitude to enjoy this event!

Alley 221 will sport new art, the Rex Theatre will be open with popcorn, and we'll have refreshments from area eating establishments.

The project is fully funded by a bequest from Morenci native Mary Kellogg Papadopetros. She loved music, so this is an especially fitting tribute to her.

If you can't make it to the Grand Opening, stop by any time...whether or not we're open! The instruments are intended for everyone in the community to play and enjoy...all ages and abilities.

We continue to actively recruit students for our Morenci GSRP Preschool Program. Students must be four years old by December 1st. Visit lenaweefreepreschools.org for more information and to complete an interest form.

One Team, One Town, One Family . . . .

Nurturing and promoting growth of Respectful, Responsible, and Resilient leaders.

Acknowledging that each child is an individual, Morenci Elementary School strives to provide a safe and inviting environment for all children to belong and grow into respectful, responsible, and resilient leaders in our community. Together with the support of our families, we seek to nurture the whole child, by providing exceptional academics grounded in character, creativity, and collaboration. To ensure that all children will be empowered to reach their full potential we will…

• Create a safe and nurturing environment for growth by sharing our enthusiasm for learning with students and colleagues.

• Inspire children to become self-directed learners who are able to celebrate diversity and perform both collaboratively and independently as students of MES and beyond.

• Challenge learners to take risks and foster a life-long love of learning by exposing them to aligned and evidence-based academics, social emotional learning, and extracurricular activities.

• Work together as a Bulldog staff, family, and community to nurture the whole child and develop long lasting relationships.
