The Cass City PROMISE is pleased to announce they have received a $25,000 grant from the Community Economic Development Association of Michigan (CEDAM) for Mr. Woloshen to teach Life Skills to 6th Graders during the 2026-2027 school year! Last spring, Mr. Fernald and Mr. Woloshen discussed the possibility of adding a Life Skills class for 6th Grade. Over the summer, Mrs. Janet Richards and Mr. Woloshen met to outline the various components of a quality Life Skills class. Mrs. Richards incorporated those ideas into a CEDAM grant and recently confirmed that the grant was awarded in full! The plan is to develop a comprehensive Life Skills curriculum (and supplies) that will support the future continuation of the Life Skills class.

While topics have not been finalized, Mr. Woloshen tentatively plans to begin instruction in three areas:
1) Financial Literacy: career exploration, job applications, paychecks, saving and investing, and retirement planning;
2) Basic Home Maintenance: cleaning, tool use, basic car care (including changing a tire and changing oil), and basic woodworking (including building birdhouses and bird feeders for Cass City residents); and
3) Basic Cooking Skills: shopping, preparation techniques, and safe food storage.

In addition to learning these important life skills, students will be especially enthused about community-based, hands-on learning experiences woven into many of the activities!

Mr. Woloshen is excited about the benefits of this new class and has already created a suggestion box for students to contribute their ideas on topics they would like covered! This class is a work in progress, but proves--once again--that Cass City Schools cares about the futures of all students and continues to be an educational leader in the Thumb!

Congrats to these students for earning the Citizens Award!! 🥇

Here is some of the message that was forwarded to me:

I’m hoping this somehow makes its way to the right parents, because you deserve to hear this. ❤️

After my son’s appointment today, we stopped at McDonald’s and there was a young girl there with her two younger brothers. All three were blonde, absolutely adorable and sweet as pie. 😂

I was genuinely SO impressed by these kids. The older sister was incredibly mature and attentive to her brothers, and all three were polite, respectful and so well-behaved. They cleaned up after themselves, used great manners and did all of it without a parent standing there reminding them or anyone watching to give them credit.

My son is VERY high energy, has never met a stranger and will basically ask you to be his best friend within 30 seconds. 😂 He has the biggest heart, and these kids were SO sweet to him. They included him, played with him and treated him like he was already one of their little crew.

To whoever is raising these three sweet kids: you are doing something right. Their character showed when they didn’t know anyone was paying attention. I really hope this reaches their family, because you should be incredibly proud of the kind little humans you’re raising. ❤️

The 8/9 GO Club didn't catch any fish on their recent trip to Indianfields Park, so Mr. Wolo stepped it up a notch - the boys joined Captain Paul Nienaltowski on Team Mermaid Charters out of Port Austin on Wednesday August 10th for a day on the water.
A 4:45 am departure from Cass City took them to the harbor by 6 am, where the fun began. Less than an hour later, nine miles offshore, they caught the first fish of the day - a nice Lake Trout. During the trip, each of the boys caught at least one Lake Trout or Atlantic Salmon, with a few bonus walleye thrown in. Mr. Wolo's Lake Trout was tagged, so the head, including the tag, will be turned in to the Michigan fisheries department for analysis. The boys learned a lot about the topography of the lake, thermoclines, how to find fish, all about the boat, as well as some of the requirements to become a Charter Boat Captain. They ended the trip with a bag of filets for each boy to take home.
After a quick lunch of paninis in Port Austin, they returned to Cass City just in time for football practice. Even after a morning on the water, they are still expected to go to practice!
This trip was made possible by a generous grant from the Biddinger Family Fund.

🎉 — Spirit Week Through the Years!** 🎉

Before we called it Spirit Week, many Cass City students knew it as Twirp Week!

Over the years, students have shown their school spirit with all kinds of dress-up days—from crazy outfits and costumes to jerseys, decade-inspired looks, and plenty of styles that could only belong to their era! 😎

This week's photos take us through several decades of Cass City students getting into the spirit and having a little fun along the way.

Now we want to hear from our alumni: What was your favorite Twirp Week or Homecoming Spirit Week dress-up day? Was there one you looked forward to every year? And does anyone remember a dress-up theme we've forgotten about?

Take a look through the photos, tag some familiar faces, and share your memories in the comments! ❤️🖤

Last week, Mr. Wolo’s 8/9 GO Club took a fishing trip on the Cass River. They had a great time even though they didn’t catch any fish- though Brendon Mester did catch a snake which his mom did NOT allow him to bring home. They also saw a fawn, turtles, giant spiders, and more. This activity was made possible by a generous grant from the Biddinger Family Fund.
