Crews need additional time to clear snow, and some bus routes are not drivable. We want to prioritize everyone’s safety; therefore, classes are cancelled for tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8, 2025, due to ongoing winter weather conditions. Please stay safe and warm; we look forward to seeing you all on Thursday.
We were excited to welcome everyone back tomorrow, but Mother Nature has other plans! Due to unsafe travel conditions and needing extra time to clear parking lots and walkways, school is cancelled tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7, 2025. Stay safe, stay warm, and enjoy an extended winter break day. We can't wait to see you all soon.
Due to winter weather conditions, the BOE meeting tonight, January 6, at 7:00 pm will be held virtually. ➡️ Watch online: https://bit.ly/3fT7WyB

🌟 Creativity in Action at Tecumseh North Elementary! 🌟
Before the break, Tecumseh North 4th graders wrapped up a whole-grade level novel study of "The Tiger Rising" by tapping into their creative side with a hands-on whittling project! 🐅🧼
Each student received a bar of ivory soap, a toothpick, and a craft stick, then let their imaginations take over as they whittled away. Like Rob, the main character, who finds calm and creativity in whittling wood, our students explored their ideas and embraced the unexpected turns their soap creations took.
And guess what? Beauchamp made a cameo! You could spot him with his signature toothpick "waggling from the side of his mouth."
It was a fun and meaningful way to connect with the novel, and the students LOVED it!
