In addition to Project Wildflower taking shape at Longview Early Childhood Center, the garden space has gotten some TLC this summer, too!

Crews were hard at work this week refreshing the area by replacing mulch, removing old garden boxes (which will soon be replaced with new ones), tackling weeds, and planting wildflowers throughout the space.

Day 2 of Scrub Life Camp was a busy day for students. They were at Central Michigan University exploring the role of nutrition in healthcare while gaining hands-on experience in the simulation lab. From checking vital signs to delivering babies, students are truly getting a first-hand look at careers in the medical field with this camp!

Project Wildflower is underway!

Volunteers are on site at Longview Early Childhood Center this week for United Way of Midland County's Days of Action helping bring this project to life. Today a number of volunteers from Consumers Energy are lending their time to support the effort.

What was once open green space is being transformed into a thriving wildlife habitat and outdoor learning area where students can explore, discover, and grow through hands-on experiences in nature.

Thank you to everyone who is helping us create something special for our students and community!

"He blinks!" 👀

Students got their first introduction to the simulation patient during day one of the Scrub Life Camp, and a few were surprised when their "patient" blinked back!

Throughout the week, students will explore the fundamentals of patient care, medical terminology, and healthcare careers through hands-on simulations, interactive learning experiences, and guest speakers from the healthcare field.

This Career and Technical Education camp is offered in partnership with Central Michigan University, Davenport University, and MyMichigan Health.

The historic carpeted walls of the Sugnet board room have officially retired, making way for a fresh coat of paint and a bright new look!

It's exciting to see the construction progress in the final phase of our Sugnet site project. Each step brings us closer to creating an even better environment for our students, staff, and community.

Shoutout to our custodial team member, Yvonne!

Last week, our Facilities Director, Tony, shared this photo after Yvonne took the initiative to uncover a storm water drain that had become covered by soil and debris. Her willingness to step up and take care of our facilities is a great example of teamwork in action.

Thank you, Yvonne, for helping keep MCESA running smoothly! #MCESABetterTogether

MCESA Career Development Facilitator Heather Masters shared photos from Corey Spurling’s Principles of Engineering class as students tested their underwater robotics projects in H.H. Dow High School's pool today!

This project was made possible thanks to a Gerstacker Teacher Innovator Grant that Mr. Spurling said will help the project run indefinitely. Students had just four weeks to design, build, and troubleshoot their robots before putting them to the test by measuring underwater cylinders anchored and suspended in the pool. To wrap up the activity, two student teams even raced their robots across the water!
