South Elementary has had an incredible start to our new school year. We kicked off our year with an energetic welcome back gathering on the blacktop. Classes have been working together establishing their classroom communities and getting familiar with routines. We love our new kindergarten friends and the students in older grades have been so welcoming. There’s nothing better than a fresh school year!

Seven hundred ten bright-eyed, shiny-faced, eager middle schoolers entered through the doors of Plymouth South Middle School last week. Sixth graders were welcomed by their homeroom teachers at the front door while the experienced upperclassmen greeted old friends as they hurried to their lockers. Smiles were seen everywhere. All in all, the first day of school earned a big two thumbs up!

Freshmen in the Principles of Biomedical Science class at Plymouth North High School arrived to find a crime scene - and the body of poor deceased Anna Garcia! The students immediately got to work researching how crime scenes are investigated, then actually processing the scene. Students created a crime scene sketch to scale of not only the body but all of the potential evidence found near the body. These students will now spend the entire year studying the forensic evidence, medical histories of the victim and autopsy reports along with potential suspects to compile a case as to what happened to Anna Garcia. Their work is just beginning!
