Mrs. Barnett and her class were so sad to say goodbye to their Senior Beach Buddy, Mia. She was such an amazing helper in the classroom and she built very strong relationships with each of the students with her caring and friendly personality. We wish her the best in her future and will miss her a lot!

Mrs. Seidl’s second graders bid a fond farewell to our amazing beach buddy, Nichole! She has been an incredible role model to our little pirates this year with her positive attitude and enthusiasm for getting involved in classroom activities. She built strong relationships with our second graders by caring about each of them and learning about their interests. Miss Nichole is advancing her education by attending Oakland University in the fall and we wish her all the best.
