Welcome, 2023!! ✨🎉


The past few weeks, MCESA students at Dow High have been working on holiday/winter wood projects. Teacher, Dawn Totten, shared that students and staff had a lot of fun making these, too. A big thank you goes out to LeBeau Cabinets for donating wood for this project and cutting out the shapes. ⛄️🎁 #mcesabettertogether #buildinghope #buildingfutures


A very special THANK YOU goes out to our Post Secondary students and staff who took the time to make a thoughtful gift and dessert for MCESA board members at the December board meeting. #mcesabettertogether


The Sugnet team celebrated the last day of school before winter break with a pancake breakfast/potluck this morning. It was a fun way for the whole building to spend some time together before break. #mcesabettertogether





MCESA is closed this afternoon through January 2 for winter break. We will return on Tuesday, January 3, 2023. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable break. Happy Holidays!


Longview Early Childhood Center students, staff and families were able to sing along with Music Therapist, Kendra Booth today.


Here's a look at some of the fun events that have taken place over at the MCESA classrooms at Midland High. Students took a field trip to Frankenmuth, made holiday cookies, and continue to sell popcorn on everyone's favorite day of the week - popcorn Friday!





Some Mondays you just need a pick-me-up, especially before a holiday break, and Longview Early Childhood Center brought just that this morning! The team hosted a cookie, coffee, and hot cocoa bar plus ugly sweater day. Their bright team spirit is definitely shining.





🎄Ms. Kat’s class had a lot of fun using their skills to make Grinch punch with Ms. Nicole and Ms. Tracy last week. 💚





Caught in the act! Transition Coordinator, Jennie Coston, was spotted adding her own personal touches that she crocheted to the tree in the Sugnet Building. A few of the MCESA departments have made their own ornaments that they have placed on the tree this year, which makes it extra special. 🎄
