We are thrilled to have kicked off a great month of reading with our March Reading Month activities. The K-5 students enjoyed many different camping themed days. A S'mores party and an assembly where students were awarded with reading certificates if they met their reading goal. They played some fun games, and eded with a tug-of-war contest between classes. Mr Schwarz also spoke to the students about safety precautions for the solar eclipse that was happening that day.
Our amazing Junior Achievement volunteer, Mrs. Punches, set up a visited with local entrepreneur Mrs. Beth McCarthy on Friday, April 19, for the 5th grade class which culminated their Junior Achievement. Students learned why the Onekama EZ Market got started, what it took and continues to take to keep the business thriving, and how the business continues to operate.
The fourth graders recently completed their unit of study on government. Students learned about the purposes of government, types of government, and the roles and responsibilities of a productive United States citizen. On Tuesday, April 23rd, students visited a local unit of government at Onekama's Township Hall. Students heard presentations from Deputy Treasurer Mrs. Bradford, Township Clerk Mrs. Sedelmaier, and Township Supervisor Mr. Meister.
