Mr. Lemuel's classroom has been very busy! They took a day trip to Bay City to see a show at the Planetarium and then enjoyed a delicious lunch at Grandpa Tony's. Bowling at Brentwood was also on the agenda for the students. I think their smiles show what a great time was had by all!

What a difference a day makes when it comes to Michigan weather. Tuesday our students enjoyed 70+ degree weather and soaked up the sunshine. Wednesday they were inside with below freezing temperatures and wind. A 50 degree drop in temperature and windy conditions is a big change over 24 hours.
Mr. Lemuel's classroom recently went furniture shopping in the community. They enjoyed learning about all the options and price comparison. A day in the community wouldn't be complete without enjoying a delicious lunch, family style. This was a great opportunity for our adult students to learn shopping and social skills!
Basketball is in full swing at HPS. Huron ISD has provided great competition for our Huskies team. Staff vs Student and Unified Champion games were also great to watch. The next game for our team is today at 12:30pm vs Huron ISD.
