🤖💡 Students from the Mount Pleasant BotsIQ team had an incredible opportunity this week to tour Röchling Industrial! 🏭✨ They got a firsthand look at modern manufacturing and engineering in action — exploring everything from design to production. 🔩📐 Along the way, they also learned about exciting career pathways in manufacturing, engineering, and technology. 🚀👷♂️👩💻
🐾 What an exciting day at Donegal Elementary! 🐾
Students had the wonderful opportunity to meet Maverick and Hoyt, our amazing therapy dogs, who brought plenty of smiles, calm energy, and wagging tails to the classroom!! ❤️💙
During the visit, Officer Stahl led an engaging “Safety First” lesson — and our students were all in!! Their enthusiasm, thoughtful questions, and participation made it a truly memorable learning experience. 🚓🐶✨

🌸🌿 Hands-On Science at Ramsay Elementary! 🌿🌸
Our 4th grade scientists explored how flowers play a vital role in plant reproduction! 🌺 Using live lilies, students identified each part of a flower, discovered its function, and learned how these structures work together to help plants reproduce.
Mr. Howells, Mrs. Palangio and MPASD send a heartfelt THANK YOU to Mt. Pleasant Floral & Greenhouses for generously donating the beautiful lilies that made this investigation come to life. 💐 Your support helps our students experience the wonder of science in action! 👩🔬👨🔬✨

🌟 Tribute to Our Custodial Staff 🌟
Today, on Custodian Appreciation Day, we pause to recognize and honor the incredible custodial staff of the Mount Pleasant Area School District.
Our custodians do far more than clean classrooms and hallways—they create safe, welcoming, and healthy spaces where students can learn, grow, and thrive. They are often the first to arrive and the last to leave, working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our schools shine each and every day.
From setting up events to responding in emergencies, from keeping our learning environments safe to lending a helping hand whenever needed, their dedication is essential to the success of our schools.
On behalf of our entire district, we extend heartfelt gratitude to our custodial team. Your hard work, commitment, and pride in what you do make a lasting difference in the lives of our students, staff, and community.
💙❤️ Thank you for all you do to make Viking Nation stronger every day!!

🌊🎨 In Mrs. Zontek’s Art Class, first graders created Underwater Scenes! Students drew the ocean floor, added sea creatures 🐡🦀🐙, traced with Sharpie, and used crayons. They loved discovering how watercolor paint resisted the crayon—making their artwork come alive! 💙✨
🎨 This week in Mrs. Zontek’s Art Class, kindergarten students explored creativity through their own scribbles!! ✏️🖍️ After listening to the story I’m Not Just a Scribble, they designed colorful scribbles using crayons and sharpies. 🖌️✨ The young artists are excited to continue their projects and look forward to painting next week!! 🎉🎨
