Dollar No Uniform Day For Students September 13

Third Grade Plant the Moon Challenge

We are excited to announce that our third grade class has been selected to participate in the Plant the Moon Challenge! This exciting global science experiment allows students to take part in growing crops using simulated lunar soil, just like what NASA scientists are exploring for future space missions.

The Plant the Moon Challenge is part of NASA's Artemis Program, which aims to return humans to the Moon. Through this challenge, students will learn how to grow plants in soil similar to what might be found on the Moon or Mars. By conducting their own experiments, they will help contribute to NASA’s research on how we might sustain life on future space missions.

We’re grateful to Mrs. Hilliard for leading this effort, and we can't wait to see the results of our students' experiments.

For more information about the challenge, you can visit the Plant the Moon Challenge website.

Let’s cheer on our third graders as they begin this exciting project! 🌱🌕

Welcoming fall with the DeerInWater Family

📅 When: September 19
🕔 Time: 5:00 - 7:00 PM

Join us on campus to celebrate the changing of seasons with activities led by a WMAES, Potawatomi family. Activities will include a plant walk around campus, crafting, seed exchange, and harvest meal. As an Indigenous family, the DeerInWaters hope to share a part of their culture and connection to the land. 

Meet the DeerInWaters!

We are the DeerInWater family! We have three kiddos who attend WMAES and have been part of this awesome school community for three years. We are a mixed heritage family, identifying most closely with our Potawatomi and Cherokee cultures. We have lived all across the US, but have returned to Potwatomi homelands here in West Michigan and absolutely love it here! In our free time, you can find us gardening, playing at the beach, and spending time in the community.
