The top ten spellers from Brown Elementary competed for three coveted spots at the Cloverleaf Regional Spelling Bee in February. We are so proud of each and every one of them and are impressed with all their hard work!

The JoeBots Robotics teams from Upon Middle School competed this past weekend in at the Big Rapids Qualifier for First Tech Challenge Robotics. There was a field of 36 teams at the event and all 3 teams made it to the Semi Finals! JoeBots White and Blue ended the completion in 3rd place, and Maize achieved 2nd place. All 3 teams won a judged award separate from their competition, and all 3 teams will head to the State Competition this Friday and Saturday to compete as part of a field of 72 teams. Go JoeBots!
