Connections are Important!

Dear Twin Lake Families,

The weather is changing - as it does in Michigan. Please dress your rockets for the weather. Also, please check the pictures below of the lost and found tables. We have SO MUCH STUFF and it needs to go home.


We are in need of some prizes for our Rocket Slip treasure chest. If you have any old happy meal toys or small trinkets at home, we would love to take them off your hands. Amazon also sells buckets of goodies like "squishies" or pencils or fun erasers. If you are so inclined, we would love some donations to encourage our positive behaviors.


We now have 2 active social media accounts! We have our official Twin Lake Elementary account and we also have a Twin Lake Elementary Connections account. (We also have an awesome Twin Lake PTO Facebook page!) Any of these accounts may post pictures of our kids having a great time at school. We do not share identifying information with the pictures. However, if you do not want your students' pictures posted, please let your students' teacher or the office know and we will not post your student's pictures.


Our CKH focus of the month is Self-Direct - This month, we’re challenging students to envision

future goals and take intentional steps toward who they want to be. We are partnering with you to grow and develop your child’s ability to self-direct. We can model self-direction by celebrating the positive in each day, seeking the good in others, and emphasizing our responsibility to make positive choices.


We are here to help! Feel free to call the office at 231-719-3190, if you have questions or concerns. Once school starts, you will use this number to report any student absences as well. The school office will be open Monday through Fridays from 8:00-4:00 each day.


We are all looking forward to seeing you!


Thank you!

Mrs. Bennink

Rising Rockets - Youth Program

Please see the video below from the high school athletic department introducing Rising Rockets, an initiative designed to provide a one-stop digital location for all things youth athletics, in Rocket City.

Our goal is to make it easier for families to find information about camps, clinics, youth leagues, and opportunities to get involved in Reeths-Puffer athletics. Through Rising Rockets, you’ll be able to explore offerings, connect with programs, and register your student-athlete all in one convenient place.

We’re excited to continue building strong connections with our future Rockets and hope this resource makes navigating youth athletics in our community even easier.
