Last night, senior Emma Dabrowski delivered a heartfelt and inspiring story during the Board of Education meeting.

In 2013, Board of Education Trustee, Brooke Cunningham, started a tradition she wouldn't realize would come full circle. Brooke was a senior on Student Senate and passed down a t-shirt to freshman who exemplified what it meant to be a leader in high school. This shirt has been handed down every four years since, signed by the senior. Emma had been holding on to the shirt since freshman year and now it is her time to pass it on.

Emma shared a little about each member on the shirt. "Brooke is a trustee on our Board of Education and got her masters degree from the University of Michigan -Go Blue! Next is Sally Pudvan who also graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in psychology and is working as a behavioral tech in Arizona. To round it off, we also have Cayla Cataline who just this year produced Central Michigan University's annual fashion show. Each woman on this shirt has accomplished a lot since being in high school and I hope to live up to that legacy."

Brooke was in attendance to hear Emma’s touching story and we were able to grab a photo of the two with the special shirt. Emma has done a phenomenal job at providing Student Senate updates at our Board of Education meetings and we wish her the best as she graduates next week. She will be attending the University of Michigan in the fall to study engineering.

Thank you, Emma for sharing this special story! We are continuously amazed by our alumni doing great things in the world. 💙🐾

Today we celebrate the incredible individuals who help keep our students safe each and every day - our school bus drivers! 🚌💛

Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons, they are the first friendly face many students see and the last one to send them home. Their patience, care, and commitment make a difference far beyond the road.

Thank you for going the extra mile (literally!) to ensure our students arrive safely and feel welcomed along the way. We appreciate all that you do to support our schools and community.

Be sure to take a moment today to thank a bus driver!💛
