During summer school this week, 4th, 5th and 6th grade students learned about the spiny softshell turtle. The turtle can be found in the River Raisin watershed. The students took what they learned and created their own turtle from clay! The spiny softshell turtle is one of the largest freshwater turtle species in North America. The turtle has a flat, leathery shell with very flexible edges. It somewhat resembles a pancake.

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor all those who have died in service to the United States during peace and war. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day. It began during the Civil War when citizens placed flowers on the graves of those who had been killed in battle. After World War I, it came to be observed in honor of those who had died in all U.S. wars, and its name changed to Memorial Day. Memorial Day is observed with the laying of a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, and by religious services, parades, and speeches nationwide. #MemorialDay #rememberandhonor

The K12 Art Show at Tecumseh High School is wrapping up tonight. The art is here at the high school, but our artists' work is showing up in some other places. TPS art teachers and students throughout the district created a variety of sunflower art and have teamed up with businesses in Downtown Tecumseh to display the work. This artwork is to show our support for former exchange student Valeriya Isakova and her family. Valeryia, her mother and brother escaped Ukraine at the beginning of the invasion of the country. After obtaining US visas, the trio are expected to arrive in Tecumseh this weekend! The sunflower is the national flower of Ukraine. Today, the flower represents unity and hope in the face of adversity. Fantastic work by our artists, instructors, and the community that has come together to rally around Valeriya and her family. 🌻🌻🌻
