Our elementary school was excited to host a mobile dentist on campus, offering families a convenient option for students to receive dental cleanings during the school day. With parent permission, students were able to have their teeth cleaned and checked right at school in a comfortable, friendly setting. This opportunity helped support student health while saving families time and making dental care more accessible. We appreciate our families for taking advantage of this helpful service and supporting healthy smiles at school. 😁🦷

Our elementary students proudly showed their school spirit by supporting Bulldog Spirit Day. Ferris State University Football and Volleyball teams had another successful championship season. Students wore team colors, and celebrated the Bulldogs’ hard work and success. It was exciting to see our young learners support local college athletes and come together to celebrate championship pride. Go Bulldogs! 🏈🏐🎉
