The first annual "ONE" Onekama Service Day was a great success. All the students and staff worked very hard and the weather cooperated perfectly.

The class of 2027 hosted a Mom & Me Tea, for Mother's Day. They had a very good turn out with roughly 85 people who attended.

The Class of 2024 went to Mackinac Island for their Senior Trip. They spent the day exploring the island, visiting the butterfly house and enjoying the beautiful day.

Awards were presented to the Class of 2024, all students were honored.

The class of 2024 was escorted in to their Decision Day Assembly by the kindergarten class. During the assembly the seniors informed the attendees of their plans after school followed by some fun games.

The class of 2024 went out with a bang, having a little fun after hours at the school.

The class of 2024 said their final goodbye during graduation. They will forever be Portagers!

10 preschoolers graduated from Leaps & Bounds on May 22nd.

The fourth grade class had a beautiful day for a field trip to Hartwick Pines in Grayling. The class learned about a variety of interesting facts about Michigan's forestry and history from the tour guides.

The kindergarten class went to Lewis Farms in New Era, were they spent the day creating unforgettable memories.

The First grade class enjoyed all the hand-on experiences at the Sandcastle Children's Museum in Ludington.

In honor of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, students enjoyed the sunshine as they left encouraging messages to help shine the light on mental health.

Special thanks to Austin Teter for unpacking and setting up our fair! It was so fun watching our BIGS help our LITTLES fill out their wish lists. Thank you Onekama families for supporting our book fair! We surpassed last year's totals! YES!! Because of your support, many NEW books will be added to the shelves for next year. Have a wonderful summer and look for our fall book fair in November.
