Our High School Art students had an incredible showing at Friday’s CSAA Collaborative Art Event! 🎨
This year’s theme, “Trashion Fashion,” challenged students to create nature or animal-inspired outfits using only recycled and found materials. Our talented team—Rachael Wernette, Eliza Wernette (model), and Alysa Kirkpatrick—brought their vision to life with their piece, “The Forest Bride.”
Students also participated in a gallery showcase, where Kayden Patterson’s sculptures earned an award—congratulations, Kayden! Additional student artists featured in the show included Alysa Kirkpatrick, Peightyn Wray, Michael Penn, and Brooklyn Halcomb.
We love your creativity, Warriors! ❤️💙

⚙️ Blood, Sweat and Gears! ⚙️
Today our High School Robotics team—Blood Sweat and Gears—is competing against 41 other schools from around Michigan at the FIRST Robotics Competition at Ferris State University!
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) challenges students to design, build, and program robots for head-to-head competition. This year’s game is along the lines of robot basketball meets strategy and defense. The robot has to collect dodgeball-like balls and deliver them to a hopper to score, while blocking opponents from doing the same.
Opening ceremonies are at 10:30 AM with competition starting at 11 AM and running through tomorrow afternoon.
The event is FREE and open to the public at Wink Arena. Stop by to cheer them on if you can!
Good luck, Warriors! ❤️💙
