🏫📚 Exciting news from the 2023 Summer Institute! 🌞📝
We had the absolute pleasure of learning from one of the shining stars in education today - Abby Schumann, a dedicated 6th grade teacher from Turtle Lake-Mercer school. Abby led a truly invigorating teaching demonstration that was nothing short of inspirational.
The topic? Haunted houses. But this wasn't your typical Halloween lesson! 🏚👻 Abby masterfully used the concept of haunted houses to engage us in a deeper understanding of the elements of storytelling - theme and setting. With her guidance, we delved into the eerie atmospheres and captivating narratives that haunted houses encompass.
But the lesson didn't stop at simply appreciating the art of storytelling. Abby showed us how this seemingly simple project could evolve into a civic opportunity for our students. By designing their own haunted houses, the students can foster creativity, community engagement, and civic responsibility. A remarkable way of blending education and societal involvement, isn't it?
Thank you, Abby Schumann, for sharing your passion and expertise with us. You've taught us more than just how to construct a story around a haunted house. You've given us a blueprint on how to creatively instill crucial lessons in our students, encouraging them not just to learn, but to grow as active community members.
Looking forward to implementing these incredible strategies in our classrooms soon! 🍎✏️

In the recent Turtle Lake - Mercer School Board Election held in June 9, 2023 the majority of votes cast were in favor of a 5-member school board consisting of 3-year terms. The board will operate as a 7-member board for the 2023-24 school as current members complete their term. In June of 2024 there will be an election with two board vacancies, at that point TL-M will be operating with a 5-member school board. Please reach out to Mrs. Schlafmann or Ms. Davis with any questions on the transition.
