Wayland-based restaurant 4 One 2 throws ice cream parties for beloved teachers around the area. After receiving numerous nominations for him, 4 One 2 staff came to Star Elementary yesterday and treated Mr. Kingshott and his classroom.
They honored him for his leadership roles, passion for teaching, and the care he gives to each of his students. Congratulations, Mr. Kingshott!
They handle the work behind the scenes, in front of the scenes and pretty much everywhere else. Yesterday was National Administrative Professionals Day, and we extended a huge thank you to our rock star staff of administrative assistants and secretaries!
From field trips to game days, our students are always on the go—and it’s all thanks to the awesome folks behind the wheel. 🚌 Today is Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we’re sending a big thank you to our incredible drivers who keep things rolling safely and smoothly. Let’s show them some love!
Our school board will be meeting on Monday, April 21 at Hastings Middle School.

Congratulations to our Young Citizenship Award recipients for the month of April! In partnership with the Hastings Kiwanis Club, we honor students in each building for their top-notch character and service to their school. This new group of award recipients was very worthy of that honor. Great work!
Spirit days aren’t reserved for just students. In fact, staff at Star Elementary had a ton of fun this week with their underground spirit days, which included Secret Service Day, Denim on Denim Day, Anything But A Cup Day and Dress Like Mr. Kingshott Day (he was a great sport about it!). We saw some very creative outfits.
Yesterday Southeastern Elementary student council members battled the frigid weather this morning to install some new homes for the community's winged population. These students were out on the large property near Green Street and Cook Road installing a series of bird houses. They're move-in ready!
On March 31st Star Elementary welcomed in a guest mystery reader to help cap off March Is Reading Month. It was Dr. Damico, our own superintendent. He shared a great story and peppered in some "dad jokes" (his specialty)!
March 28 was PBIS reward day for our eighth graders, and they are spending it at Craig's Cruisers. A well-earned trip for these students!
Our little learners in GSRP celebrated 100 days of school today! Here are the students at Central Elementary decked out in their '100 Days Smarter' crowns!
