A Note From Our Principal
Dear Families,
This week I am thankful for ALL of our teachers in every capacity at Central Montcalm Upper Elementary. Each day they come to school with a smile on their face ready to tackle the day and teach our students. They spend countless hours preparing lessons, teaching new content, grading assessments, working with students to improve their behavior and so much more. They are SO generous and go above and beyond each day to make our school a great place to LEARN. Please take a moment to thank your student’s teacher for all of their hard work and dedication. We are incredibly lucky!

“November comes and November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.
With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.
The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”
― Elizabeth Coatsworth
