On Friday, Ms. Starks' class became scientists and ventured outside to explore the world around us! 🔎🌿

Students searched for biotic (living) things, like plants, insects, and animals, as well as abiotic (non-living) things, such as rocks, soil, water, and sunlight.

What a wonderful day of hands-on learning, observation, and discovery. Enjoy these special moments from our young scientists in action!

🎶 This Is Us: Staff Spotlight 🎶
Meet Simon Suboski, Choir Teacher at Tecumseh Middle and High School!

For Simon, the best part of working at TPS is the people.
“My colleagues and my students,” he shares. “My music colleagues have gotten me through sickness and insanity with their constant support. The students have helped develop such a supportive and caring culture in the choir room that it feels like home.”

Simon wants others to know just how much heart and effort goes into building a thriving choir program. Beyond the classroom, he works hard to create a sense of belonging by organizing a concert or social event every month. “It’s not just another class they go to,” he says. “It takes a lot of thought and a lot of planning to build that community feeling.”

When he’s not inspiring students through music, Simon enjoys playing disc golf and board games, recording audiobooks, and singing at special events like Renaissance fairs and Christmas parties. In the summer, he and his wife love writing together and creating companion stories.

Thank you, Simon, for bringing music, community, and heart to TPS! 🎵

Another great day for THS Bands! Over Spring Break, we found out that our bassoon/bass clarinet duet featuring Leo McInchak and Robert Scott was nominated for the MSBOA Outstanding Ensemble Competition for their performance at State Solo and Ensemble! Of 1,161 ensembles, only 73 across the state were selected for this opportunity. CONGRATULATIONS! These students worked hard to put on a great performance and will submit a recording to be considered for the Spring Honors Festival Showcase hosted at Oakland University in May.
