Superintendent Searles had a great visit with the MCESA classroom at Northeast Middle School today as students and staff celebrated their annual Thanksgiving lunch! #MCESABetterTogether
A number of our MCESA team members and their family members recently volunteered with the Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign! They had the honor of being the very first bell ringers of the season at the Midland Post Office — a wonderful way to kick off this year’s season of giving.

Recently, the Kiwassee Kiwanis Young Children Priority One Committee provided Longview ESA in Midland with a $2,500.00 donation. With the donation, they were able to purchase critical items that the staff identified as needing to allow for the expansion of two additional infants and two additional toddlers into their program. Currently, there is a waitlist and this assistance will help four families in Midland County with securing a safe and loving childcare environment for their children. The items that they purchased with the donation included an evacuation crib, a regular crib, infant/toddler cots, infant/toddler strollers (2-4 seaters), additional cubbies, and tables/chairs.
Kiwassee Kiwanis is proud to be able to help children and families in Midland County.

Superintendents from Bay-Arenac ISD, Clare-Gladwin RESD, Gratiot-Isabella RESD, Midland County ESA and Saginaw ISD are working together to emphasize the importance of regular school attendance and strong family engagement. Their shared message was recently highlighted on WNEM TV 5. When students feel safe and supported, they attend, engage, and grow in confidence.
Together, we can support every child in being present, engaged, and ready to learn.

The Educational Careers class, part of the Midland County Career & Technical Education Consortium and taught at Bullock Creek High School, had a great day at the L.I.F.T. (Leaders Influencing Future Teachers) at SVSU on Friday. They attended sessions about teacher certification, scholarship opportunities, project based learning, ways to make classes more engaging, plus other classroom and teaching related topics. Students will get the opportunity to apply what they learned today in this class and in their classroom placements. Students were also able to get a tour of the SVSU campus and see some of the freshman dorms. Some of the students were also excited to be able to eat at the SVSU dining hall!

Reality Store is in full swing at Bullock Creek High School!
This interactive “Game of Life” gives students a firsthand look at what it takes to manage finances and make real-world decisions. Prior to the event, students work with Career Staff to select a career of interest and learn about the education needed for that path. Today, they’re visiting stations—such as housing, taxes, student loans, and food—to make choices that shape their simulated lifestyle.
Each decision is tracked in a spreadsheet to see if their career can support the life they envision. Thank you to all the community volunteers and professionals who make this experience possible by guiding students through these real-world scenarios.
