Au Gres-Sims School District

Biology students played a game of "spoons" to practice their knowledge of biological macromolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Environmental science students prepared native Michigan plant seeds for cold stratification today. This process simulates the freezing and thawing process that naturally occurs during winter, only we're using a refrigerator so that we can begin growing plants in February!

The GSRP Preschool Class and their families created a beautiful Thankful Turkey! Each feather is filled with the wonderful things they are thankful for!

Jostens is having a Black Friday Sale on class rings!

Small is mighty and Rural means close knit. This morning the AGS Senior Band showcased these qualities, performing for small and rural superintendents to open their conference. https://youtu.be/CVLvZn_GHsI?si=Mme_kFrIkxhl0MLT #WolverinesLead #PoweredByPurpose

Environmental science students designed, built, and tested water filters with "polluted" water. As a secondary test of water quality, they took samples of their filtered water, and inoculated agar plates to see if pathogens were still present in the filtered water. We'll check back in a few days to see if any pathogens are growing on the potato agar plates.

Mrs. Avram's Kindergarten class, along with their families worked on an at home project to disguise a Turkey! Student then presented their Turkey using adjectives in very clever ways to save their Turkey from becoming dinner next week! Here are just a few examples of their hard work! Way to go Kindergarteners! #Wolverineslead #PoweredByPurpose #KindergartenRocks

Thank you to everyone who donated and helped with the food drive! We will be able to help out families in our community and are grateful for the support.

The 1st graders created their own informational animal book. They wrote 4 chapters, created a table of contents, and included a caption and diagram page!

These turkeys, created by our 1st graders, are disguised as community helpers! They certainly will escape from becoming Thanksgiving dinner. 🦃

Music is the universal language, and this week's episode of The Wolverine Wake-Up celebrates the music makers at AGS. They're the rhythm, the sound, and the heartbeat of games, pep rallies, and pump through our classroom speakers during projects and birthday parties. Our award-winning band has brought recognition to our school for decades, and this week we want to highlight the hard working folks who put the pep in our step every day.
