Early Career Teachers (ECTs) in Battle Creek are wrapping up a busy and productive first semester. Whether they are new to teaching or new to the district, theyโ€™re bringing fresh perspectives and strong commitment to their classrooms.

Alongside our ECTs, we are also proud to celebrate the accomplishments of our teacher interns. In accordance with a long-standing GVSU tradition, BCPS interns Haven Boyers (left) and Lyndsi Martin (right) were formally honored alongside their classmates at this teacher pinning ceremony. This milestone recognizes the successful completion of their education training and the near conclusion of their internship in Battle Creek. Congratulations ๐ŸŽ‰

๐ŸŽ“ Congratulations to Quadri on graduating this past Saturday! ๐ŸŽ‰
Weโ€™re so proud to highlight him for our Senior Spotlight. As part of his feature, we asked him a few questions about his time here.

One of them was:
โ€œWhich was your favorite year and why?โ€

Quadri shared:
โ€œ2023, because thatโ€™s when I started my meetings with Estefany.โ€
He said those meetings meant a lot to him, they helped him grow, stay motivated, and feel genuinely supported throughout the year(s). ๐Ÿ’›

Weโ€™re so excited to celebrate everything heโ€™s accomplished and canโ€™t wait to see what he does next. Congratulations, Quadri you did it! ๐ŸŒŸ
