Principal’s Corner
Dear Students, Families, and Staff, “March is Reading Month” has been an incredible journey for our Peters community! We’re thrilled by the sheer number of books our students have devoured. Your encouragement and enthusiasm for reading are truly commendable. The Science Alive animals made their anticipated annual appearance, captivating everyone. A big shout-out to the parent group for making this magical experience possible for our students. We already can’t wait until next year. Mark your calendars for the Spring Fling dance, sponsored by the Parent Group. Join us at Glen Peters on Friday, April 12th, 6-8 pm for an evening family event. Let’s dance the night away! Parent-teacher conferences are just around the corner! On Thursday, April 25th, our teachers will be reaching out to schedule appointments. Whether in person, via phone, or via Zoom, we encourage all families to connect with their student’s classroom teacher. We look forward to seeing you there! And now, let’s celebrate: Stacey Swanigan, one of our outstanding classroom teachers, has been recognized as MISD Center Programs Teachers of the Year for the middle school level. Bravo! As spring blooms around us, may it bring renewed energy, joy, and growth. Warm regards, Julee and Brian

Hello From Miss Michelle’s High School MOCI Team!!
Hello and Happy Spring! We Rock and Rolled our National Reading month with many activities and a 50’s themed week celebrating Glen Peters 50th Anniversary. Students were busy reading daily in the classroom and bringing in their weekly reading charts. We recorded our reading by putting the title of books on a vinyl paper record that is now displayed from the ceiling in our hallways. It’s a nice reminder to keep reading.
We have returned to our normal schedule swimming on Mondays, sending students church cleaning to St. Michael’s every Tuesday and adding a couple of field trips. We are excited to go to see our art collection at the Starkweather Art Center in Romeo. The students have worked so very hard on their art and it has all paid off.
Our classroom has also been very busy working and having fun in the classroom completing daily jobs and doing an amazing job doing them. We are so proud of the gains and accomplishments the students have shown. Students and staff are having a blast in MoCI 4. With spring fever in the air, we are looking forward to some outside time now that the weather is getting warmer.

Hello From Miss Lauren’s Middle School SCI Team!
Spring has arrived!! Hoping for a lot of warmth and sunshine this season :) For the month of April the classroom theme is Weather and the Water Cycle. Our class will be focusing and l earning about weather, the water cycle, and the spring season. During the month of April students will be learning about weather through books, videos, outdoor activities, science experiments, and discussions. Academic activities in the areas of Science, English Language Arts, and Math will also be incorporated in this month's theme. The class will be learning about weather by informational read-alouds and informational videos. April is an exciting month to learn about weather!!!

Hello From Miss Michelle’s Elementary SXI Team!
With our recent break we are feeling refreshed and ready to get April underway. We have a busy month ahead of us. This year we are lucky enough to be part of a small group of classrooms that belong to the 4-H club. For those of you who do not know, 4-H is a community program in which students work hard to help and improve the community and the environment. Our group theme is farming. Here is room 107 we are beginning to get started on our 4-H projects. Our class will be growing flowers and making planters. We will also be creating an interactive chicken coop. Our projects will be displayed at the Armada Fair in August for all to see. In addition to our 4-H projects we are having fun with all things rainbow this month in honor of National Find a Rainbow day which is April 3. But most importantly we have enjoyed watching our students grow over this past school year thus far and look forward to seeing even more growth through fun activities and music.
