When Lee Elementary students gathered in the cafeteria for a special assembly, they had no idea they would learn so much about history and be so inspired to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.

Clara McKeown fitted plastic straws together while teammates connected toothpicks with putty. They were all working on the same challenge - to build bridges that could span different distances between tables. They were given a limited number of simple supplies - a pencil, rubber bands, straws, toothpicks, putty, some paper clips, sheets of paper and a couple of paper cups. They were also given limited time to plan and then only 6 minutes to discuss plans and then build.

TK Alum John Garner created this video showcasing some of the many things that make Thornapple Kellogg Schools such an amazing school district and a great place for families to call home. Garner used his talents to skillfully pull together video clips including interviews with students, parents, alumni and teachers as well as images of the beautiful facilities, classroom learning and school activities. We hope you'll watch and share with friends so everyone can see why we are #TKSTRONG

Winter in West Michigan is not a matter of "if" it comes - it's "when" it comes. Right now, that means it’s a busy time of year for middle school students in Lil Lienesch’s service learning class. Students collect, sort, organize and inventory donations of new and gently-used winter coats, hats, boots, scarves, gloves and snow pants. This time of year they’re busy filling donation requests and delivering items to schools for families in need.
