Reading can change everything for a child.

Today, on International Literacy Day, we’re celebrating the teachers, literacy coaches and educators across Lenawee County who put in the work every day to help kids become stronger, more confident readers.

Because sometimes, helping a child unlock the words helps them unlock a whole lot more.

PBIS is officially underway at Haviland! Students found out their "houses", spent some time building connections and learned all the ways they can earn prizes throughout the year.

A little fun, a little friendly competition and a great way to kick off what’s ahead!

Our preschoolers got a first look at their new spaces this week!

Families stopped by Porter and Trenton Hills for open houses, giving our youngest students a chance to explore, meet some new faces and get a little more comfortable before the big day.

Now we’re ready for Monday. We can’t wait for the new school year.

Different districts. Shared purpose.

Superintendents from across Lenawee County came together to look ahead, share ideas and plan for the year to come.

Because while every district has its own students, staff and community, there’s a lot we can accomplish when we work together.

Here’s to working together, supporting one another and making it a great year for students across Lenawee County. Let’s make it a great one, Lenawee!
