Congratulations to Saline faculty members Pete Loveland, Emily Sickler, Katie Huang and Laura Washington who recently graduated from the Washtenaw County Leadership Academy.  They had opportunities to learn leadership skills applicable for building administration, particularly those specific to operations within Washtenaw County school districts. 

Saline High School students in Mr. Sartori's "Problems in Technology" classes were challenged with selecting a product to design and manufacture. The product was required to be developed in such a way that it could be mass produced. In addition to designing the product, the students were required to develop the manufacturing processes required to produce the parts that allowed the product to be assembled using mass production techniques.
 
Two fourth grade classes (Ms. Ledford and Ms. Bell) from Pleasant Ridge came to the High School and applied their newly learned Henry Ford assembly line techniques to assemble the products. The students assembled 10 catapults, 10 bird houses, 20 pencil cases, 20 bookshelves, and 10 kite kits. That’s a total of 70 items in about 70 minutes!

In all, 25 high school students and 50 elementary students participated in this collaborative, project-based learning event. A special thank you to the Pleasant Ridge PTA for their help with the bus transportation for the elementary students.

Approximately seventy Kindergarten to 4th grade teachers from Saline Area Schools and another dozen or so from around Washtenaw County School Districts, Ohio and Colorado spent June 11 & 12 at Saline Middle School learning together and celebrating student success and literacy. Attendees had the pleasure of working with and learning from six outstanding educational leaders in the area of literacy education: Kathy Collins, Ann Marie Corgill, Mary Lee Hahn, Cathy Mere, Debbie Miller, and Franki Sibberson. The conference was coordinated by Ms. Betty Rosen-Leacher and Ms. Laurie Dawson.
