It was a great day in Adrian!
Athletes from various Lenawee County schools and organizations came together at Siena Heights University for the Civitan of Lenawee Special Olympics Games.
Competition was intense as athletes took part in basketball dribble, corn hole, 50-meter dash/walk, long jump, golf, and more.
The atmosphere was filled with smiles and embraces as athletes pushed themselves to excel, achieving personal milestones, earning ribbons, and reveling in the challenge.

A bit of gardening was on tap today for Tecumseh Middle School students.
Students from Joe Bundas' classes stopped at Douglas W. Bird Memorial Park near TMS to pull garlic mustard plants.
Garlic mustard is an invasive plant. Over the past 150 years, garlic mustard has extended its reach across much of the United States, establishing itself as a major threat to American Northeast and Midwest forests. Its invasive nature is evident in its capacity to create dense thickets, suppressing native plant growth in the forest understory by monopolizing essential resources such as light, water, and nutrients.
Such activities give students practical environmental stewardship experience, raise awareness about invasive species and conservation, and foster a sense of responsibility and environmental consciousness among young people.
Early Release day for ALL students on Wednesday, May 1.
Students at Tecumseh High School had a blast in a soccer tournament. The World Language Department hosted the tournament, and each class represented a different country.
After intense matches, Argentina and Equatorial Guinea faced off in the finals, resulting in a tie game.
The excitement didnโt stop there. THS teachers and staff joined in on the fun with a pie-in-the-face fundraiser to support studentsโ upcoming trip to Spain. Thanks to everyoneโs generosity, several hundred dollars were raised for the trip.
This event was such a hit that we plan to make it an annual tradition!
On Administrative Professionals Day, we extend our gratitude to the office staff in every building for their unwavering commitment and dedication.
Their professionalism is evident in their exceptional service to our students, families, and TPS staff.
You are the indispensable thread that binds our team. Thank you for your invaluable service to TPS!

Students at Patterson Intermediate Learning Center had the opportunity to explore different types of food thanks to a grant.
Lindsey Chase from Patterson ILC and Tracy Hedrick from Community Learning Connections of the Tecumseh Area were awarded the Building Health Communities grant. This grant fosters a healthier school environment by promoting physical activity, nutritious food choices, mental health, and overall well-being.
The pair spearheaded weekly food tastings for their students during National Nutrition Month. From hummus to sushi, students explored new flavors and voted on their favorites.
