Bath Elementary School welcomed families on April 10th for its Student Showcase and Science Fair, highlighting student learning and creativity. Students shared their work from the Science Fair, demonstrating problem-solving skills and their understanding of the scientific method through a variety of projects. Visitors also explored classroom displays, including third grade biography projects that brought historical figures to life. The event included hands-on activities, a cake walk, and opportunities for families to connect while celebrating student achievements.
Look at these brilliant Bees getting some treasure this week! They worked extra hard this week 'bee'ing kind to others in their class and 'bee'ing safe in the building! Way to go!

We are proud to share news of our after-school elementary writing program, Awaken the Senses, in partnership with the Red Cedar Writing Program at Michigan State University.
Over six weeks, fourth and fifth grade students strengthened their writing skills and explored their creativity. They skyped with a park ranger and wrote about the park through their senses, pretended they were writers in a Biggby Cafe, and created color poetry. We wrapped up with a celebration where families enjoyed viewing student work and recognized their growth.
Thank you to Red Cedar Writing, Biggby and student families for supporting our young writers!
