The annual Science Olympiad Region 3 Tournament was held at the Mid Michigan College Mt. Pleasant campus on March 22. Teams from across the region—which stretches across the center of the state from coast to coast—spent the day competing in a variety of events covering all areas of science.
Advancing to the State Finals are Frankenmuth, Fremont, and Gladwin in the Middle School Division B, and Bay City Western, Frankenmuth, Manistee, and Shelby in the High School Division C. In addition, eight students qualified as individuals by earning gold medals in their events.
CGRESD volunteers included Cassy Tisak, Connor Clure, Duncan Gervin, Joe Trommater, Matt Shefferly, and Nick Winter. Stacey Beebe spent weeks working behind the scenes to ensure the tournament ran smoothly. Martin Elzroth and Adam VanDyke from Mid Michigan College organized individual events and coordinated the many volunteers who helped make the day a success. #CGRESD #ourstory

March is Reading Month, and the Great Start Family Coalition held its annual reading night on Zoom. Each registered family received a book, a snack, and a list of activities. This year, we picked a book about fort building. Each family built a fort, and then we came together on Zoom to read the book and eat snacks in their fort. The children had a blast, and some even wanted to sleep in their forts. For more activities like this, visit www.ClareGladwinGreatStart.com and follow our event calendar. #CGRESD #ourstory
