When living history comes to your school, you hang on every word. Today, our MS and HS students had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to hear the testimony of Irene Miller. Mrs. Miller is a Holocaust survivor, and the only known survivor in Michigan who is still living. She shared her story of fleeing Warsaw, Poland as a young child, away from the Nazis, and later surviving under the brutality of the Stalin regime through the end of WWII in 1945. Immigrating first to Israel and then to the U.S., Mrs. Miller's words of persevering through hunger, cold, violence, disease, and anti-Semitism were inspiring, to say the least. She called on all of us to be upstanders against any injustice, large or small, and to be vigilant against all threats to our freedoms and our Constitution.
After school today, our K-12 Science Team came together to continue its learning journey. Today, our focus was the Science & Engineering Practices that are embedded into the Michigan Science Standards. #LifelongLearners

There's a new issue of "All the Buzz" out! https://secure.smore.com/n/rhvcj
Since December 2, 1975, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) has been the nation’s special education law. It gives rights and protections to kids with disabilities. Parents and legal guardians also have rights under the law. Before IDEA, it was common for states to place kids with disabilities in separate schools. Or in separate classrooms away from their peers. Their education was often poor and underfunded. Academic expectations were low. Kids with learning and thinking differences typically didn’t get the help they needed to thrive in school.
With substantial financial assistance from the federal government and the Department of Education, students with disabilities are now provided with all the supports they need to thrive in public schools across the country, including ours.
Today and each day, we celebrate our students, their families, their teachers, and their supporters. #ManyPartsOneHive
We are thankful for all of Hornet Nation!
