We had a very special guest visit the elementary school last week. The VERY 1st Miss Teen Rodeo of Michigan, Olivia Bucholtz, visited a few classrooms to read to students and answer questions about being a cowgirl.
Olivia is currently an 8th grade student at Tri County Middle School. In her position as Miss Teen Rodeo, Olivia serves as an ambassador for the sport of rodeo, agriculture, and travels near and far with her family promoting horsemanship and Michigan’s rodeo traditions. Thank you Olivia for sharing your love of books and rodeoing with our students! 📚🐎

Our superintendent, Mr. Ryan Biller, visited MacNaughton Learning Center to spend time with our preschoolers last week.
During his second Viking Voice visit of the school year, Mr. Biller made it a priority to truly listen to our little Vikings and hear their voices—learning about what they love and what they need in their preschool experience.
What a powerful way to support our earliest learners and ensure their voices matter from the very beginning! 💫

A BIG thank you to our friends from Wesco in Sand Lake for visiting our elementary school! Our students loved listening to the story about a visit to Wesco with mentions of popcorn, slushies, and donuts from the coloring story book Snack Time At Wesco.
We’re grateful to the Wesco employees who took time out of their day to read with our students and share a fun popcorn treat! It’s partnerships like these that make our school community stronger. 🍿🖤💛
