April 29: Monday Magi Messenger
April 29, 2024
Happy Monday Magi Families,
Last week, like so many organizations, we celebrated Administrative Assistants Day, and today I want to shine a spotlight on these remarkable members of our team. They embody the true spirit of dedication to children and are the unsung heroes behind the scenes, keeping our schools running smoothly day in and day out. From managing the needs of our buildings, parents, staff, teachers, vendors and administrators, they are professional, efficient and truly exceptional. Olivia Spidle, Nicole McClish and Rebecca Crotser do all of this with grace, warmth, and a smile. I want to express our deepest gratitude to each of them for their tireless efforts.
Pictured here is Mrs. Spidle with some of our students at an event last fall. Olivia, Nicole and Rebecca have some of the deepest connections to your children and our families. Please join me in expressing gratitude for all that they do... if you make that call up to one of our buildings this week, please be sure give them your thanks for their work in our school community.
Have a magical week,
Dr. Rachel Kowalski

🚌✨ Thursday was an unforgettable day for our 3rd graders as they embarked on a trip to the state capitol in Lansing, Michigan!
From the moment they stepped off the bus, the excitement was palpable as we explored this historic landmark together.
🏛️📚 Walking through the majestic halls of the capitol building, our students were wide-eyed with wonder, soaking in the rich history and significance of Michigan's legislative center.
They asked insightful questions and eagerly absorbed every detail.
