🏫 A Look at Where Bond Investments Would Be Made 🏫
At last week’s first Community Bond Town Hall, we introduced this graphic to help illustrate how the proposed bond would be invested across Chippewa Hills facilities.
The chart shows how funds would be distributed across the district’s schools and facilities, including the high school, middle school, elementary buildings, the transportation building, athletics areas, and a multipurpose auxiliary gym and learning space.
The goal of the proposal is to address important facility needs across the district, including safety and security updates, as well as improvements to our buildings and the wear and tear that comes with decades of serving students every day.
At our Bond Town Halls, we review the projects planned at each building and answer questions from community members.
If you have questions or would like to learn more, we encourage you to join us at tonight’s Bond Town Hall at 6:30 PM at Mecosta Elementary.

🎓 Warrior Workshop Day! 📚
Our high school students recently participated in our Warrior Workshop, a special event designed to help them explore life beyond the classroom.
Throughout the day, students had the opportunity to attend presentations on a wide range of topics including career exploration, college readiness, social media awareness, mental health, yoga, financial planning, military careers, cooking skills, and college athletics. Students also connected with representatives from local services such as law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, and 911 dispatchers, gaining valuable insight into the important work happening in our communities.
Experiences like this help our students see the many different paths available to them and start thinking about the skills and choices that will shape their futures.
A huge thank you to the community organizations, local businesses, volunteers, and Chippewa Hills alumni who took time out of their day to share their knowledge and experiences with our Warriors! 💙❤️

🔧 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! ❤️💙
