The elementary staff member of the week is Ms. Cunningham. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from MSU. She started teaching in Mesick in 2020, which was quite a year in itself! She grew up in Bloomfield Hills and spent summers in Beulah. Ms. Cunningham loves going to the Florida Keys or anywhere warm.
Mesick Consolidated Schools will be closed today, Thursday, January 19, due to weather. Apologies for the late call, but the late arriving freezing rain made it difficult to make the decision before the normal 5;30 a.m. deadline. This is our 3rd day of closing this school year due to weather. A reminder that should we have a total of 9 closure days due to weather, we will conduct remote learning on the 10th day of closure. More details will come as we approach that number.
Staff feature of the week is Ms. Campbell. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree from CMU. She has been teaching in Mesick since 2017, but taught preschool many years before that. She loves to read, especially mysteries and historical books. She also has a daughter that attends Mesick Jr/Sr High.
Congratulations to Mr. Redman. He was nominated as the January Teacher of the Month by Z93. He was recognized live on air and also received a prize package worth over $500. Well deserved!
