During the first week of summer, we had a contractor spray an acoustical material in our multipurpose room. While we are waiting to have an accurate measurement of how much noise reduction is achieved, we can already "hear" a difference. This project is long overdue, but we are glad to have it done! We have a number of projects to complete this summer, but this one was a great way to start the summer! #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

There is no summer break for our hard-working maintenance department. The middle school classrooms have already been emptied, cleaned and polished from top to bottom, and put back together. Also, the older set of portables are being taken down as part of our ongoing campus improvement plan. Look for many more updates to our wonderful school. Thank you, Mr. Melero and team, for your dedication to Holly Academy! #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

Middle school student leadership and NJHS students attended the Base Camp Challenge Center to celebrate all their hard work this year. The highlight was the high ropes course. These kids were amazing! They worked together and conquered their fears. Thank you, Mrs. Conley and Ms. Klimo, for planning this great experience! #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

The 8th grade students traveled to Zekelman Holocaust Museum in Farmington Hills. They participated in a guided tour through the museum. Students had the opportunity to meet a gentleman who lived in Germany during the war. He happened to be touring at the same time we were. We learned his dad was Jewish, but his mom was not, so he lived never fitting in. At the end of the tour, students sat in the auditorium and listened to Ruth Alon speak of her parents experiences living in Poland. At age 13, Ruth’s mom was separated from the rest of her family to work in a textile factory. It was a very moving speech making this historical event become more real to our 8th graders. It was an amazing, worthy field trip. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

The middle school students have been experiencing many end-of-the-year activities! On Wednesday the 22nd, the 7th graders traveled to Michigan Adventures Amusement Park for a day of rides and time with friends. After school, Mrs. Klimaszewski and the 8th graders held the annual "Journey Through Genres" where they had the opportunity to share their writing portfolios with friends and family! #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

Our 6th grade students are studying erosion and deposition in the Earth science curriculum. They decided on the variable they would test using the stream tables. Students worked through their procedures to ensure a fair test so they could validate their claim. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

5th-8th grade students enjoyed a day at the ballpark. The classes headed to Lansing to participate in "Grand Slam School Day" with the Lugnuts! #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

While CMU visited our campus this week, our Special Education department received some valuable professional development. Through an Ed Benefits review of a special education student's past 3 years of services, it was proven that our entire team created IEPs that met all of the requirements to increase student access to, participation in, and progress in general education. The day was full of insights, affirmations of our many strengths and suggestions on how to improve and refine our program even further. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

In anticipation of Cinco de Mayo, the middle school held a Fiesta of Fun today! Students enjoyed tasty lunches from a taco truck and then took a swing at traditional piñatas that were made by Sra. Pena-Sweetman and some of her students. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

Our sixth grade students traveled to the Genesee County Water Treatment Plant. They learned how water from Lake Huron travels 55 miles and ends up coming out of sinks and showers. Students also heard about potential career options and the schooling needed to obtain these jobs. It was a great learning experience. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education

Dave Cruickshank, a parent at Holly Academy, recently presented to our middle school horticulture students. Students were able to explore equipment used in beekeeping, learn the process to start their own beehive, and and learn about the importance of bees in our environment. Bees are important pollinators and they make us a yummy snack. #characterdefinesus #powerofthepack #CMUCharters #MICharterStory #charterschools #education https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078756865276&mibextid=LQQJ4d
