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.
