Today, Mr. Switzer took the 8th grade English students to visit Zekelman Holocaust museum in Farmington Hills, MI. They heard from a first generation Holocaust survivor, viewed the eternal flame meant to commemorate the 6-10 million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust, and more. The tree pictured was a sapling from the tree that Anne Frank could see while hiding in the annex. What an incredible, humbling experience!

🌟 Happy National Principals’ Day! 🌟
We salute you Mr. Wagner and Mr. Waldgovel! You always have a million things to juggle, from solving the mystery of the missing lunchbox 🥪, to delivering a perfectly timed “teacher talk” during staff meetings! You’re the master of the hallways, handle every situation with grace, and you always know the right amount of “fun” and “seriousness” to keep us all in line (or at least entertained!). 😎
Thank you for always keeping the school running smoothly, for inspiring us to do better, and for reminding us that yes, coffee is an essential part of the day. Here’s to you, the ones who hold it all together... thanks for all you do!

🌟 Happy Administrative Professionals Day! 🌟
Today, we give a shoutout to the heart of our school — the amazing secretaries who keep everything running smoothly day in and day out. Whether it’s answering a thousand questions with a smile, giving out ice and band-aids, juggling schedules, calming nerves, or ensuring everyone has what they need—you do it all with grace and kindness.
Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for the dedication, care, and positivity you bring to our school community every single day. You are truly the glue that holds us all together. Thank you Mrs. Graber, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Phipps, and Mrs. Weirauch. Special thanks to Mrs. Hoylman, who is filling in the office for a few weeks, and doing a fantastic job.

Mrs. Pennington’s classes hunted for eggs this week for some extra fun. Inside, they found a variety of either sight words to read or math problems to solve. They had a fantastic time! Happy Easter break, Blackbirds! 🐰 🐣
Presenting... the newest set of published authors! Mrs. Aeschliman's kindergarten class, along with Mrs. Wixom's 3rd grade class wrote and illustrated their own books this spring. From researching biomes and habitats, to practicing neat writing skills and illustrating their pages, these Blackbirds worked hard and should be so proud of their amazing books! Students were able to pre-purchase a copy of the book, and today was the day to celebrate their arrival. One copy of each book will be available in our school library. We hope to continue this program with different classes for many years to come.
Awesome job, Blackbirds! 📚 🖊️ 🐦⬛

Last Friday, our Kindergarten through 2nd-grade classes had an exceptionally Fun Friday! They visited the Valentine Theatre to watch the "Dot Dot Dot" production, followed by a trip to the Toledo Public Library. They enjoyed story time and visiting all of the amazing exhibits throughout the library.
It was all smiles for this "Bro Lunch" today. These 5th graders cashed in their mini book report dollars to eat lunch with juniors Jack and Creighton. Everyone agreed, it was the best reading reward ever... it's a great day to be a Blackbird! 🐦⬛
