✨ The End of an Era ✨

Today, we celebrate and thank an incredible leader, supporter, and friend to Michigan Avenue School — Amy Eubanks. As her time serving as PTO President comes to an end, it is impossible to fully express the gratitude our school community feels for everything she has poured into MAS.

Amy has been the heart behind countless events, celebrations, fundraisers, and moments that made our school feel extra special for students, staff, and families. Her dedication, leadership, kindness, and willingness to always step in and help never went unnoticed. From early mornings to late nights, she continuously gave her time and energy to make MAS a better place for everyone.

Because of Amy, students made memories they will never forget, teachers felt supported, and families felt connected. Her impact on Michigan Avenue will continue long after her final year as PTO President.

Thank you, Amy, for leading with such passion and love for our school community. MAS is better because of you, and your legacy will always be part of Michigan Avenue. 💙💛

Once a Wolverine, always a Wolverine.

🎓❤️ Today was a special and emotional moment at Michigan Avenue as our 5th graders took their final walk through the halls. What feels like the end of one chapter is truly the beginning of an exciting new journey ahead.

As they walked the halls one last time, they were celebrated by teachers, staff, and younger students who have watched them grow into leaders, role models, and incredible young people. From kindergarten memories to now, these students have filled our building with laughter, learning, friendships, and so many unforgettable moments.

We are so proud of each and every one of them and cannot wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish in middle school and beyond. Once a Wolverine, always a Wolverine! 💙💛🐾🎓

🚗🧱 Third grade had an AWESOME day of hands-on STEAM learning at Bricks & Minifigs!

Students rotated through exciting LEGO®-based stations where they became engineers, designers, creators, and problem-solvers. One challenge had students collaborating to design and build race cars, testing their creations to see which designs could travel the fastest and farthest. Another station encouraged creativity and imagination as students constructed detailed animal habitats using LEGO bricks. 🐘🌿

Throughout the trip, students practiced teamwork, perseverance, communication, and critical thinking while applying important STEAM concepts in a fun and interactive environment. Learning truly came to life today, and our third graders did an amazing job representing Michigan Avenue! 💙💛
