Some of the members of our theater arts program had the opportunity to attend the Michigan Thespian Festival this weekend and had a great time! The students were able to experience up to 8 different workshops, watch two mainstage shows and a student showcase, and receive information about college fine arts programs.
Charles Jones received superior ratings for his performance of "Diva's Lament" from the musical, Spamalot. Avery Luna received superior ratings for her contrasting monologues "Beauty and Perfection" and "Ice Queen" from Flowers in the Desert. All students represented the Reeths-Puffer community well.
Reeths-Puffer began an International Thespian troupe in May of 2022 and is has allowed for great opportunities for our students to continue to grow their love of theater.
Yesterday, our Madrigals had a magical learning opportunity.
We’re honored to be the first high school ensemble to perform a stunning piece by composer Sam Schiebe, inspired by a poem by Emily Dickinson.
Sam joined us via Zoom to listen and offer feedback—it was a truly inspiring, goosebump moment! He shared more about the intention of the piece. We’re so proud of our students and can’t wait to share this incredible music with you tonight.

Parents...we need your help!
Each year, we ask parents, students, and staff to complete a survey about the culture of our buildings. It is important for us to create the best possible environment for each student to succeed and your feedback is important. An e-mail went out as well. If you did not fill the survey out in the e-mail, please take a minute to complete it now. This survey is just for the high school. Each building has their own link.
THANK YOU!
Consider these great opportunities for support or a quiet place to build a study routine.
It might be cold, but we're fired up this morning with Wood Tv8!
The morning was full of Rocket Spirit, student highlight, can drive, PALS highlight, and student reporting.
Go Rockets!
For adults and teens, time to reflect is a gift in a busy world. We are so thankful that Kofi B. joined us yesterday to learn, reflect, dream big, and inspire us to make it happen.
Kofi, two-time Emmy nominated artist and inspirational speaker, gave us so much to think about.
From the voice of his mother right to Rocket City:
What I am looking for is in me.
The past has no power over me.
Negative thoughts have no power over me.
Today is a wonderful day and a new beginning.
Because I choose to make it so.
Thank you to our student hosts, Charles and Olivia. Thank you Kofi!!
Reminder: We have high school conferences this week. Parents, be sure to read your e-mails for directions on how to schedule.
