🎄A big thank you to the Michigan State Police officers and Michigan DNR conservation officers for making this holiday season extra special! They visited our elementary school buildings and took some deserving students out for a Shop with a Cop experience, ensuring every child gets to enjoy a merry Christmas.

🎁 This incredible program is a true testament to the generosity and dedication of our law enforcement, both during the holidays and every day of the year. We're so grateful for their continued service and for spreading holiday cheer to our students. Thank you!!

🦕 Dino-Mite Learning at Star Elementary! 🦕

Star Elementary has been having a lot of fun with this year’s dinosaur theme! Last week, students enjoyed an exciting visit from the Traveling Dinosaur Museum, where they had the chance to get up close and personal with real fossils and explore hands-on exhibits about our Jurassic friends.

A huge thank you goes out to Star's amazing PTO for helping fundraise and make this incredible learning experience possible!
