Show Some Love for an OETeacher This May! 🍎
Does your child have a teacher who goes above and beyond? Here's your chance to celebrate them on a statewide stage!
The Michigan Department of Education invites students and families to submit a short appreciation video honoring an outstanding teacher. Selected videos will be featured throughout Teacher Appreciation Month in May on the MDE website and YouTube channel, and promoted across MDE's social media pages.
Submitting is easy — just use the online form at michigan.gov/mde (a Google account may be required).
This is a wonderful opportunity to let a dedicated OE educator know how much they mean to your family — and to share that appreciation with all of Michigan.

During the Mount Pleasant District Robotics Competition (March 8–9), the Ovid-Elsie Marauderbots achieved a huge milestone! After a tough start and strong competition, the team fought back with great strategy, driving, and teamwork. They were selected by top teams Laingsburg’s Red Thunder Robotics and Grand Blanc’s Enginerds to form a powerful alliance. Together they dominated the finals and brought home Ovid-Elsie’s first-ever 1st place Robotics trophy! 🏆🤖
Congratulations to the Marauderbots on this amazing accomplishment!
