Our first graders recently performed their musical, "Hansel and Gretel Eat Right!", and did a wonderful job! Through the performance, students shared what they’ve learned about making healthy choices, including nutrition, the importance of exercise, and good hygiene habits. It was a fun and engaging way for them to demonstrate their knowledge and confidence on stage. Way to go, first grade! Also, we are so proud of our teachers who teach these students how to be in the play. #1stgrade #ibschool #handleyhornets

🏈 What a Night for SPSD Elementary Flag Football!

Last night’s Elementary Flag Football Playoff Celebration was a great example of what happens when our community shows up for our students.

From the games on the field to the energy in the stands, it was a night filled with excitement, teamwork, and support. We were proud to have community partners like H.E.L.P., Team Loyalty, and the Michigan Arsenal arena football team join us—connecting with students, signing autographs, and adding to the experience.

A big thank you as well to T&T Authentic Mexican Cuisine for keeping everyone fed and energized throughout the evening.

Most importantly, our student-athletes showed what hard work, discipline, and teamwork look like.

🏆 The championship game takes place on Wednesday, May 6—we hope to see the community back out again to support our students!
