First Graders have fun investing science today. We disolved sugar and candy in water and were amazed by the skittles rainbow! We sorted lucky charms by color and made math questions for our friends to solve to help us get ready for our data focused math unit test tomorrow.

More fun zoo photos!
We had a visit from the zookeepers at John Ball zoo today. They brought a variety of small animals for us to learn about.
A Tenrec from Madagascar.
A tarantula
A blandings turtle
And a ball python
Most children were excited to get to pet the python and the turtle.
The other two stayed in their cages.
Today the John Ball Zoo visited Mesick Elementary again. Our kindergarten, first second, and fifth grade students attended today. They had a great hands-on experience and this is a fun time for our kids.
Congratulations to our girls varsity basketball team! In a very unique sequence of events, first place Manistee Catholic had to play one final conference game after the conclusion of the regular season. Due to MHSAA regulations, that game had to be played after the first week of girls districts. Tonight Mason County Eastern defeated Manistee Catholic to create a 3 tie way for first place in our 10 team conference. Mesick girls are now Conference Co-Champions with Marion and Manistee Catholic. This is the first time since 2002 that Mesick has won a conference championship in girls basketball. Congratulations to everyone involved! It's a great time to be a Bulldog!

Hello Parents. It was brought to our attention that there is a misprint in the orange district calendars that were mailed home at the beginning of the year. That calendar shows parent teacher conferences happening tonight (March 3rd). This is incorrect. They will take place on Thursday March 10th from 5-8 pm. Please contact the office at either school if you have any questions. Thank you!
