Remember when the student council put up those birdhouses? 🐦 Well … we officially have eggs! 🥚✨
Looks like our feathered neighbors have moved in and are starting families of their own. Spring magic in full swing!
You can't beat free! Southeastern Elementary has a table of free books for students to pick through.
They handle the work behind the scenes, in front of the scenes and pretty much everywhere else. Yesterday was National Administrative Professionals Day, and we extended a huge thank you to our rock star staff of administrative assistants and secretaries!
Today we celebrate the heartbeat of our office: our amazing administrative assistant, Ms. Kelli!
Your dedication, organization, and behind-the-scenes magic keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for being the glue that holds it all together.
We appreciate everything you do, not just today, but every single day.
From field trips to game days, our students are always on the go—and it’s all thanks to the awesome folks behind the wheel. 🚌 Today is Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we’re sending a big thank you to our incredible drivers who keep things rolling safely and smoothly. Let’s show them some love!

Congratulations to our Young Citizenship Award recipients for the month of April! In partnership with the Hastings Kiwanis Club, we honor students in each building for their top-notch character and service to their school. This new group of award recipients was very worthy of that honor. Great work!
Hastings Area Schools were represented well at the 2025 Michigan Art Education Association State Show in Adrian, which wrapped up over the weekend.
Held at the Hickman Gallery on the campus of Adrian College, the show featured the top 100 works from elementary and high school students across the state.
Central Elementary fifth grader Kallen and Southeastern Elementary kindergartener DJ had work displayed at the show. Kallen’s work depicted a Husky Zentangle and DJ’s piece was a penguin.
Additionally, Hastings High School senior Raine created a piece titled Star Within The Tar, which made it into the top 30 in the state. Great work, everyone!
Yesterday Southeastern Elementary student council members battled the frigid weather this morning to install some new homes for the community's winged population. These students were out on the large property near Green Street and Cook Road installing a series of bird houses. They're move-in ready!
On March 31st Star Elementary welcomed in a guest mystery reader to help cap off March Is Reading Month. It was Dr. Damico, our own superintendent. He shared a great story and peppered in some "dad jokes" (his specialty)!
March 28 was PBIS reward day for our eighth graders, and they are spending it at Craig's Cruisers. A well-earned trip for these students!
Our little learners in GSRP celebrated 100 days of school today! Here are the students at Central Elementary decked out in their '100 Days Smarter' crowns!
