MCESA Post Secondary work-based learning students are brewing up real-world work experiences at Barnes & Noble in Midland! Work-based learning opportunities provide students with meaningful, hands-on learning that helps them build essential skills that can be difficult to develop in a traditional setting.

Our friends at Northwood University once again joined us in celebrating inclusion in sports during Victory Day 2025 last week!
Students from MCESA’s Post Secondary, SK-12, SXI, Northeast, Jefferson, Midland High and Dow High programs had the opportunity to participate in skill stations and activities alongside the Northwood football team and leadership students.
A huge thank you to everyone who helps make this event such a meaningful experience each year!

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.

The second was visiting a couple of great programs in Midland County. Donna and a few of the team members had the pleasure of visiting home provider, Heather Pohl, owner-operator of HoneyBee’s Daycare. Heather shared her passion for caring for young children and their families. Thank you, Heather, for your warm hospitality!
The CRC team enjoyed visiting the childcare and preschool classrooms at Longview Early Childhood Center, with time to explore the playground as well. A big thank you to the Longview staff for the incredible work you do to support children and families! Your dedication to providing high-quality care is evident, especially in your recent recognition as Demonstrating Quality from Great Start to Quality.

Throughout the remodel of the MCESA Sugnet School, we have received a number of questions regarding the hallway mosaic and whether it would remain intact within the building. A proud staple of the Sugnet School since 1976, the mosaic was crafted by Sugnet students at that time. We are excited to share that this feature has been carefully incorporated into the remodel of the building and is a prominent feature of our post secondary wing! Included are photos of the mosaic from the post secondary renovation as well as the plaque that was saved by the construction team from Three Rivers that explains its history–truly highlighting the past and present here at Sugnet! #flashbackfriday #midlandmihistory #renovation #mcesabettertogether
Our early childhood classroom at the Coleman Family Center is looking to hire a paraeducator. Join our team and be a part of a caring, supportive environment that makes a difference in the lives of students! #nowhiring #mcesabettertogether
