This week, our English 12 students Tecumseh High School had an unforgettable experience.
Tomiris Abylhasymova, one of our amazing foreign exchange students from Kazakhstan, gave a powerful presentation on how the Russian Revolution continues to shape her home country today. As part of our Allegory Unit featuring 𝐴𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑙 𝐹𝑎𝑟𝑚, she made incredible connections between history, literature, and real-world events.
Tomi’s insights sparked deep discussions, with students asking thoughtful questions about her country’s history, culture, and experiences in the U.S. It was an inspiring moment that truly brought learning to life!
Huge thanks to Tomi for sharing her story and making this lesson so impactful!

Apparently, yesterday, the age of our staff and students skyrocketed! The district joyfully celebrated its 100th day of school, marking a fun and festive milestone.
To embrace the occasion, some of our staff and students transformed into spirited centenarians, donning gray wigs, canes, suspenders, oversized glasses, and even impressive makeup to complete their look. The creativity on display was truly spectacular!
Meanwhile, several classes hosted a lively 100th Day Fashion Show, where students showcased outfits inspired by the big day. The excitement continued with engaging activities such as crafting 100th Day necklaces, imagining what they’d buy with $100, designing special snacks, and much more.
It was a fantastic day filled with creativity, laughter, and school spirit!

A “Truckload of Books” has arrived at Brittina Wiese’s first-grade class at Sutton Early Learning Center!
Ms. Wiese recently entered into the Michigan Infrastructure & Transportation Association (MITA) contest to win a truckload of books, and she won! Special guest Mike Fraker from Miller Bros Const, Inc stopped by this afternoon to drop off over a dozen books, including a Tonka truck packed with books.
Mr. Fraker stayed for a bit and read two elementary-level construction books to Ms. Wiese’s energetic class. He even took some questions, albeit not necessarily construction-related ones. They did get a little sidetracked talking about how old they are and how many teeth they’re missing.
Thousands of teachers entered to win the Truckloads of Books, and Ms. Wiese was one of the nearly 100 winners.
Thank you to MITA and Mr. Fraker for sparking a love of reading and inspiring our young learners.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
This day honors the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a leader who dedicated his life to the pursuit of equality, justice, and unity.
His leadership during the Civil Rights Movement helped shape a more just and fair society, and his words continue to resonate with us today.
As we reflect on his impact, let’s remember his call to action: to treat one another with kindness, stand up for what is right, and work together to build a better tomorrow.

You didn’t think the elves were just visiting Tecumseh Middle School and Tecumseh High School, did you?
Well, surprise! These mischievous little troublemakers made their way to Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center and Sutton Early Learning Center!
They left a trail of mischief – from creating a mess to having an all-out snowball fight!
Our students from all grades had a blast searching high and low to spot these magical guests. We hope this sparks a new tradition in our district, a little holiday magic for years to come!

Tecumseh Middle School students showcased their skills at the Middle School VEX Robotics Competition by Hudson Area Schools at the Southern Michigan Center for Science and Industry.
Competing alongside Hudson, Blissfield, Morenci, Adrian, and Onsted, our students who participate in Project Lead The Way classes demonstrated creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving.
This event was a fantastic learning experience, and we're very proud of their efforts!
If you’re not familiar with Project Lead The Way (PLTW), it’s an awesome program that gives students a chance to dive into hands-on, project-based learning that combines science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).

It's the holiday season, and that means we're getting festive here at TPS!
In one of the classrooms, students at Tecumseh Middle School are spreading holiday cheer by decorating Christmas cookies. Instructional Assistant Michelle Benham baked the delicious cookies for Madison Weaver's class, and the students brought their creative skills to life with colorful frosting and sprinkles.
It was a fun and tasty way to celebrate the season while encouraging teamwork and creativity.
The Art Club from Tecumseh High School brought their creativity and mentorship to Tecumseh Acres Early Learning Center for an hour of winter-themed activities to wrap up the school day!
The high school students paired up with the younger learners to work on various fun and festive projects, including crafting popsicle stick snowflakes, engineering snowball launchers, and competing in a fast-paced game to see who could assemble a paper snowman the quickest.
This collaboration allowed the younger students to explore their artistic talents and provided the Art Club members with a rewarding opportunity to connect with the students.
Events like these help our oldest students build meaningful relationships with our youngest students and create a shared love for the arts.
