TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL 'Decision Day' keeps everyone on their toes
Taylor
High School had “Decision Day” last week for our seniors. It was fun and
successful. Parents were invited to come to a pancake breakfast with their
senior student and students signed their name on the posters showing what their
next step was after high school. Everyone got a T-shirt and had photo
opportunities.
TAYLOR PARKS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL cheers on basketballers
Taylor
Parks Elementary School held a student vs. staff basketball game recently.
Cheerleaders from both teams had a great time supporting their team. Students
enjoyed watching their teachers and friends compete. The players had a very
good game and the teachers came out the winners. Everyone is looking forward to
a rematch next year.
WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL students listen to plastics expert
On
May 16 and 17, Mrs. Elizabeth Egan from the Plastivan Company, spoke to West
Middle School’s seventh-grade classes.
Mrs.
Egan began her program by explaining that she graduated from Michigan State
University with an engineering degree. Mrs. Egan encouraged the students to get
a two- or four-year degree in the plastics field. This is a highly needed
field, which commands a lucrative salary. She emphasized that this career is
for both men and women.
Through
hands on activities and demonstrations, Mrs. Egan showed the students physical
and chemical changes. Endothermic and exothermic changes were also discussed.
She explained that plastics are polymers that are used in every aspect of our
daily lives.
West is grateful to Mrs. Egan for her plastics presentation. The students were engaged and excited to learn. Mrs. Egan‘s visit has sparked a curiosity and a motivation in many of our students to seriously consider a career in plastics.
MCDOWELL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL support team comes to the rescue
It
was Taylor Schools' HVAC and McDowell's Day Maintenance to the Rescue recently
when Mrs. Bochenek’s kindergarten class had a issue it couldn’t handle.
These

They used rubber bands and straws to make a temporary brace.
We
thank them for using their "extra care skills" for our littlest ones
in McDowell's community.
