Today is National STEM Day! This year, our 5th and 6th graders are fortunate enough to have a STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) class with Mrs. Pleiness. Check out some of the awesome activities they have done so far!
Jill Fuller was recognized as the Michigan Elementary PE Teacher of the Year by SHAPE MI. At last night's banquet, she received her award and recognition for her collaborative work with the University of Michigan along with other leaders in education from schools in Michigan and at several Michigan universities.
The awards included a banner, plaque and some funds for equipment for her classroom. Mrs. Fuller was also elected as the SHAPE MI Vice President for the upcoming year.
Way to go Mrs. Fuller! We are so proud of you!
It's game day, Harbor Beach!
The middle school girl's basketball teams traveled to Brown City last night and each picked up wins!
Congratulations to our middle school students of the month for October! These students display the Capturing Kids Hearts character trait of self-direct: the ability and learned skill to cast a vision of future goals and then take intentional steps toward who, where, and what they want to be. Way to shine, middle schoolers!
It is almost time to pick up your pizza kits, middle school families!

The 3 year old preschool class had so much fun playing Shapes Bingo today! Pictured playing with them is Emma Perez, a Harbor Beach HS student who is enrolled in the Careers in Education program at the Huron Area Tech Center. Emma spends afternoons working in the preschool room and learning lots!
The Harbor Beach FFA MS and HS students will be spending Wednesday during school hours at Munsell’s Poultry Processing located in Fowlerville, MI. For the FFA field trip they chose five chickens to be in a contest. They chose the largest birds and also wanted birds that were close in size. The FFA class had a tough decision in choosing the birds for the contest. The students picked the birds by putting their fingers underneath it and using them to measure. They have been taking care of the birds for five weeks now, feeding them high protein crumble and keeping their space clean. Good luck tomorrow to our FFA students!
(This story was a collaborative effort between the PR and Ag classes! The PR class visited, took pictures, and watched the process of the Ag class choosing birds while taking notes to write the story. This story was written by Kalli, a middle school PR student, and will hopefully be the first of many of it's kind!)
Middle school girls' basketball hit the court again last night and our 8th grade team picked up their second victory in as many games!
Our varsity volleyball team closed out their season last night with a loss to USA in districts.
Coach Gorney shared her thoughts on the season; "This team played so well together, all season as we learned and grew with almost a whole new offensive team from graduation last year. We then also had to regroup after having some injuries and illness late in the season, we were able to come together as a team with some JV players coming up, filling and adding to key roles. I’m so proud of these girls for fighting all season long, not having wins on record but lots of strong games and comebacks. We made lots of memories and I’m going to miss this group. Especially the seniors who were all defensive players which is rare to graduate 3 all the same role!"
