Shining a light on the joy of reading—literally! Yesterday, Mrs. Gentry’s 4th graders joined Miss Cook’s 2nd-grade class for some flashlight reading fun. It was an idea that brought stories (and smiles) to life! Extra note: some siblings shared stories, making the moment memorable. Check out these pics and videos of our reading adventure! #FlashlightReading #ReadingBuddies #SiblingStorytime #BookwormsUnite

Congratulations to our Junior and Senior High School choirs! On Monday, both groups performed at the choir festival in Davison and each earned a 2 rating (with 1 being the highest on a 1–5 scale). We’re so proud of their hard work and talent—way to go, Sing your hearts out, Red Raiders! #MarlettePride #ChoirFestival

Ms. Laursen’s class had an awesome day at the Farm Bureau science lab! 🌱 Students learned all about plants and even got to plant their own green bean to take home and grow. What a fun, hands-on way to learn about science and nature! #HandsOnLearning #FutureFarmers #MarlettePride

Congratulations to Linda Draper-Sadler, our 2026 Friend of Youth! For over 40 years, Linda has been a welcoming and caring presence at Marlette Community Schools. As Jr/Sr High School secretary, she’s supported generations of students and staff with compassion, dedication, and a helping hand—always ready with a solution, a smile, or a bit of “tough love.” Linda’s impact and kindness have truly shaped our school community.

Daylight saving time is here—we have sprung forward, but how do farm animals handle daylight saving time? Have you ever wondered how Mrs. Magee’s 3rd-grade class cow, Milkshake, will adjust? Dairy farmers help ease cows into the new routine since cows love consistency. Fun fact: Milkshake naps about 4 hours a day, usually lying down, which is consistent with the dairy cow population. #DairyFarming

Congratulations Alex! You have demonstrated excellence in school and you are the Student of the Week!

Excitement buzzed through the 3rd grade as we launched Flashlight Friday to kick off reading month! 📚✨ Students lit up their books with flashlights and dived into stories together. What a fun way to make reading an adventure! #ReadingMonth #FlashlightFriday #3rdGradeReads

Don't forget your READING LOG and your FLASHLIGHT on Friday, Marlette Elementary kiddos!

Today was an extra engaging day in Mrs. Magee’s class! Our students built equivalent fractions with hands-on manipulatives, making math both fun and memorable. During reading time, kiddos incorporated Lego activities that sparked creativity and teamwork. The highlight? Meeting with Lego master Corey and helping with our school-wide build project—their class color this week was black for Reading Month, so the kids tried to coordinate their fits! 🖤

We are so proud of our builders and readers! #HandsOnLearning #LegoMaster #SchoolWideBuild #MrsMageesClass
