The office lost and found is growing! If anything belongs to you please come to the office to claim it!

On Friday, April 24, our high school Theater Arts, Podcasting and Journalism students will be presenting a drunk/distracted driving car accident simulation in the Branch Area Career's Center Parking lot. All students in grades 8-12 are invited to come to this event, but we wanted to give any students who are uncomfortable with the subject matter the chance to opt out.
In order to be impactful, a mock accident must be realistic, and as such the portrayal will be graphic. One of the students portrayed will "die;" two will be "trapped and extricated" from the wreckage and one will be "arrested." Joe Scheid, Coldwater's Director of Public Safety, will speak.
If any of these things will be triggering or overly-upsetting for your students, they are NOT required to attend. Students may choose to stay back at the school for any reason. In addition you, as a parent or guardian may request that your child does not attend. Again, this is only for students in grades 8-12.
Please note that our social workers and counselors will be available to any students who would like to talk about the presentation.
If you do not want your child to attend, please call the school at (517) 279-4686 by 9 a.m. on April 24. If you have any questions or concerns about the presentation, email Mrs. Barrand at jbarrand@pansophia.us.

All Juniors and Seniors are invited to attend a college visit to Central Michigan University on Friday, April 24th.

Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend. ALL students and parents who wish to attend must use this link to register with CMU before THIS FRIDAY, April 10th. Space is limited, so register as soon as possible! See Mrs. Gray or Mrs. K with any questions!
Every other Friday Mrs. Gonzalez takes her class to read to the kindergarten students. Both the 5th graders and Kindergartners enjoy this time. On 3/13, they celebrated "Pi Day" (technically 3/14) but we did not have school on 3/14), they changed it up a bit. Mrs. Gonzalez cut out pieces of pie on paper, wrote the sight words they were working on, and Ms. Dunn "hid" them around the two kindergarten rooms and the k-2 hallway. 5th grade students paired up with kindergarten students and looked for these words. The kindergarten students read the words to the 5th graders, and if the kindergarten student did not know the word, the 5th graders helped them. It was so much fun!
"Listening and watching the 5th graders help the little was truly a sight to see," said Mrs. Dunn. "The way they got down to their level and walked them through how to pronounce or sound out the word was AMAZING!!!!"
We love having the opportunity for older students to have leadership opportunities with the younger students in the same building. Wonderful things are happening at Pansophia Academy!
