🔧 Exploring Future Careers! 🔧
On Tuesday, our 8th grade students visited the Mecosta Osceola Career Center to get a firsthand look at the many career pathways available for them to study in high school and beyond.
Students toured 17 different programs and participated in hands-on demonstrations that showcased everything from skilled trades and healthcare to technology and creative fields.
It was a great opportunity for our students to start thinking about their interests and discover new possibilities.
Thank you to the staff at MOCC for welcoming our Warriors and providing such an engaging experience! ❤️💙

🤝 Today is International SEL Day — and it’s about skills every child needs for life. 🙌
Before we talk about academics, careers, or test scores… think about this:
✔ Can a student work through a disagreement with a classmate?
✔ Can they manage frustration when something feels hard?
✔ Can they speak up, ask for help, and communicate clearly?
✔ Can they solve problems and work as part of a team?
These are not “extra” skills. They are life skills.
That’s what SEL — Social and Emotional Learning — is all about.
SEL helps students build:
• Self-awareness
• Emotional regulation
• Healthy relationship skills
• Responsible decision-making
• Problem-solving and communication skills
And here’s why it matters beyond school:
Employers consistently say that skills like teamwork, adaptability, communication, and critical thinking are just as important — and often more important — than technical knowledge alone.
When we invest in SEL, we’re not just supporting better classrooms. We’re preparing students to thrive in careers, relationships, and communities.
At Chippewa Hills, we believe educating the whole child matters. Academics are essential, and so are the skills that help students navigate life with confidence and resilience.
On SEL Day, we celebrate the growth we see every day in our Warriors — not just in what they know, but in who they are becoming. ❤️💙

This past weekend, 13 members of our High School Student Council represented Chippewa Hills at the Michigan Association of Student Councils (MASC) and Michigan Association of Honor Societies (MAHS) Student Leadership Conference.
Our students fully immersed themselves in leadership workshops, collaborative sessions, and networking opportunities with peers from schools across Michigan. They also heard from three inspiring keynote speakers, and represented our district with attentiveness, reflection, and a genuine eagerness to grow.
This group is excited to bring back fresh ideas, new energy, and innovative strategies as we continue strengthening our school culture and community together. The future of Chippewa Hills is bright, and it’s being led by an incredible group of students!

Today we celebrate an incredible leader during National FFA Week. Happy Ag Teacher Appreciation Day to our very own Jessi Spry! 🌾
Ag Teacher Appreciation Day recognizes agricultural educators and FFA advisors for their mentorship, guidance, and dedication to shaping the next generation of agriculture leaders — and Ms. Spry does exactly that every single day.
Through her leadership, our FFA members gain more than knowledge about agriculture. They build confidence. They develop leadership skills. They learn responsibility, teamwork, and what it means to serve their community.
Her commitment, patience, and passion for students make a lasting impact that extends far beyond the classroom.
Thank you, Ms. Spry, for investing your time, heart, and energy into our Warriors. We are grateful for you today and every day! ❤️💙

🌾💙 Celebrating National FFA Week at Chippewa Hills! 💛🌾
National FFA Week is a time to recognize the incredible work our FFA members do—not just in the classroom, but throughout our community. Our students are learning leadership, service, and responsibility while making a real difference close to home.
Here are just a few ways Chippewa Hills FFA is giving back this year:
♻️ Pop Tab Collection for Ronald McDonald House
Students are collecting pop tabs to support Ronald McDonald House, which provides a no-cost home-away-from-home for families with children receiving medical care. If you have pop tabs, please bring them to the ag room and help support this wonderful cause!
🛣️ Adopt-A-Highway Service Project
Last summer, members cleaned our 3-mile stretch along M-66, collecting 10 bags of trash and helping keep our community safe, clean, and welcoming.
FFA is about more than agriculture—it’s about building leaders, serving others, and growing strong communities. We are proud of our Warriors for living out these values every day!
