We are following guidance from state & county education leaders, and we are not requiring online learning at this time. However, we can provide optional resources and enrichment opportunities. So we are proud to launch the GLPS academic resources webpage: https://t.co/X8L7jzUf3f

Let’s start the week right. It DOES NOT take a village to raise a child !!!! It’s takes VILLAGERS. All children are our children and we are the difference. Remember, it’s not the village, it’s the villagers so let’s be family and raise them like they are ours.

The question every parent is asking right now is, “Do you like your teacher?” The question that answers that is, “Do you love your students?” You are the difference...always!! And a loved kid is a happy kid. That’s our first job...happy kids.

We are hoping and working very hard to ensure that this is finally the year when we move from our outdated system of school funding into a weighted and more equitable system. @MASALeads @GovWhitmer @MAISA_ISDs #allchildren #MPC19

Even lunch is for learning! Alexa Ross -- an MSU intern in the colorful shirt next to GLPS's Carol Jegla -- created a special Hawaiian themed lunch at Hayes: Hawaiian sweet & sour chicken, Hawaiian sticky rice, mango pineapple fruit salsa, tiki time coleslaw, & coconut cupcakes.

It’s a new year. What if we start off with a clean heart? A friend shared that she had been really hurt over the holidays and was feeling bitter about it. Then she shared how she had let it go and said the most profound words: “Bitterness is murder in diapers”. Let it go !
