SPARKS After School Educators met to share the student projects they planned during their last meeting with REMC Director Joe Trommater. Students made bionic hands, built model houses, created murals, made podcasts, and much more. Staff participated in an event used at a STEM family night and planned summer and fall projects. #CGRESD #REMC5 #ourstory
Students in Mrs. Hall's 6th-grade class at Farwell Middle School finished their time programming robots with a robot battle tournament. Teams created robots with REMC Director Joe Trommater, and the robots went head-to-head while controlled by old remote controls. Robots had to be well-built for offense and defense! #CGRESD #ourstory #REMC5
The Area School MOCI class, comprised of 15-to 21-year-old students, helped with this year's "Student Turn Around" awards event. Our students folded all of the event programs. The students took their time and paid attention to details. Some worked individually, and some worked as part of a team. They had a great time being a part of celebrating this year's students. Congratulations to all the recipients. We are proud of you! #CGRESD, #AreaSchool, #MOCI, #OurStory
The Area School MOCI classes, comprised of 15-21-year-olds and 6-10-year-olds, enjoyed "Mentor Wednesday". Ms. Dawn and Ms. Sharon's classes did a great job working together and being creative. This week, each student was given a paper with eyes drawn on it. The students then picked colors to paint with. The instructions were to paint what the eyes belong to. The students did a great job imagining and painting who or what the eyes belonged to. #AreaSchool, #MOCI, #CGRESD, #OurStory

Occupational Therapy students at Clare Primary make Mr. Munchies this week as a tool to use over the summer to help improve their hand strength in preparation for their return in the fall. Improved hand strength supports many aspects of a student's daily routine, such as grasping a pencil, using scissors, opening items (such as markers, glue sticks, and snack packages), and climbing on playground equipment! #CGRESD #ourstory

The Area School MOCI class, comprised of 15-20-year-old students, tapped some of the maple trees around the Area School this spring. This is our second year collecting sap. We collected over 40 gallons of sap this year. Our collection will yield about 1 gallon of syrup. The students and staff really enjoyed getting outside and working with nature. We are all looking forward to our pancake luncheon when we get to try this year's maple syrup! Thank you to CTE Agriculture for processing our sap and to Tony Wood for sharing his maple syrup tapping tools. #AreaSchool, #MOCI, #CGRESD, #OurStory
Gladwin Intermediates Peer-to-Peer Program is having its end-of-year celebration! I am so proud of all of these amazing 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. They have practiced acceptance, understanding, and kindness throughout the year. They have done a great job embracing neurodiversity! #CGRESD #ourstory #peer-to-peer
The Area School classes participated in a school-wide first Top Chef competition. Everyone had a great time. Volunteers from the special ed office and early childhood staff were our judges. Thank you to all of them. The MOCI class of 15-20 year olds selected and made a 7-layer dip, and the MOCI class of 21-26 year olds made homemade pierogi; another class made trail mix. The other two classes also made great dishes.
