Mrs. Miling's 5th graders posed for a group photo on the last day of the school year, sporting the tie-dyed t-shirts they made together. We hope they have a fun summer and look forward to seeing them this fall in their final year of elementary school! #SafeLovedLearning #myGTA #schoolsoutforsummer #lssucharterschools

Last Friday was our traditional graduation ceremony for GTA Preschool students moving on to kindergarten or Young Explorers, planned and decorated so sweetly by staff members. This year's theme was "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom," after the beloved alphabet book by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault. A big thanks to Ms. Meneau, Mrs. Page, Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Paul, Mrs. Riess and Mrs. Dean for putting it all together. What do they do with all the balloons after the event? Decorate the offices of Mrs. Floering, Mr. Toth, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Smith, of course (also an annual tradition!).#SafeLovedLearning #myGTA #traversecitypreschool #preschoolgraduation #lssucharterschools

We were thrilled to have a special visit from the @USCGTraverseCity yesterday morning! Their willingness to accommodate our invitation when their busy schedule permits is much appreciated. Students watched the helicopter land and take off, took a tour, met the flight crew and posed for a photo op. Many thanks to Lt. Mike Frick, Lt. Rob Hodgson, AMT3 Jack Huffman and AMT1 Logan King for this exciting opportunity. #myGTA #SafeLovedLearning #lssucharterschools

As a year-end project, Mrs. Haines read the book, "Not a Box," by Antoinette Portis, to her Young Explorers students. It features a small rabbit who shows how a box can be anything you want it to be, from a mountain to a rocket ship! Then, using reading and math standards and words they learned this school year, she had them make their own creation from cardboard boxes. #myGTA #SafeLovedLearning "lssucharterschools

Mrs. Miling's 5th graders made their own roller coasters as a science project yesterday! They used paper plates, cups and a whole lot of tape for their creations. In the process, the class talked about gravity, momentum and the force that moving objects experience. They were all very inventive and did an awesome job! #mygta #safelovedlearning #scienceisfun #lssucharterschools @LSSUCharters @MICharters

We look forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow after four consecutive snow days! We want to remind you that Thursday, March 19, is our fourth of five annual Fill the Pantry Jeans Days. Students and staff may wear jeans with their uniform tops for a $2 per person donation. Proceeds help to supply our student lunch pantry for students in need or those who occasionally forget to bring their lunch to school. We thank you for your participation, which is always voluntary. And since we missed out on Tuesday's Green Shirt Day, it may be worn with jeans on Thursday.
