8th graders at West STEAM Center learning about golf this week.
Health and PE teacher Kristy Zajac created a 9-hole course, called Tecumseh West Golf Course. The project is aimed at teaching students the rules, etiquette and proper form and techniques of golf.
Students start out at the designed driving range and then they take part in the 9-hole course.
It's a great way for the students to learn about golf and get outside and enjoy the better weather we're having.

The Sensory and Exploration Garden project at South Early Learning Center is coming along nicely. The Tecumseh South PTO has received a ton of donations, including tires, pallets, mulch and more to help put this project together. On Monday (5/10), Tecumseh Arbor #760 - Gleaner Life Insurance Society donated $500 to go towards the sensory garden project. The group is also donating a Red Twig Dogwood tree and a butterfly bush in honor of Darlene Penterics. Darlene passed away in April at the age of 61. She was a kindergarten teacher here at TPS before retiring.
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week!
This school year has brought new challenges to the teachers in our community. Our educators have risen to the challenge and have gone above and beyond to make a difference and impact in the lives of our students.
Thank you, teachers!
A Sensory and Exploration Garden project is underway over at South Early Learning Center.
A sensory garden is a garden that has a collection of plants that are appealing to one or more of the five senses; sight, smell, sound, taste, and touch. Sensory gardens should be accessible for all people to enjoy - disabled and non-disabled.
So far, we've received several donations, including a $500 donation from the Tecumseh Arbor Cleaners Group.
Over the weekend, the Tecumseh South PTO raised $258 for the sensory garden. The Easter Bunny showed up for some pictures during bowling, and made an appearance over at South ELC.
