Hi Haas Families! 💚🐾
We are excited to celebrate our students with our January PAWS Sledding Celebration tomorrow — Thursday, February 5th! 🛷❄️
To help your child fully enjoy the day, please make sure they come to school with all winter gear:
✅ Coat
✅ Snow pants
✅ Hat
✅ Gloves/Mittens
✅ Boots
⭐ Important Reminder: Please send your child with an extra change of clothes (including socks) in their backpack, just in case they get wet while sledding. We will not be calling home for clothing/shoe changes, so having extras ready will help your child stay comfortable for the rest of the school day.
Sleds: Students may bring a sled only if they do not ride the bus. We will also have extra sleds available for students to share.
This is a positive behavior celebration, and participation is based on January behavior referrals and the discretion of the classroom teacher and principal.
Thank you for supporting our PAWS expectations and helping us celebrate great choices—Go Wolves! 💚🐾

Correction: Game is TONIGHT!!!
🏀 HISTORY ON THE LINE, COMMUNITY BEHIND HER. 🏀 Tomorrow night, Averie Zinn will step onto the floor with the chance to do something incredibly rare, eclipse 2,000 career points, and place herself among the top 34 scorers in Michigan girls basketball history. Out of hundreds of thousands of girls who have played high school basketball in our state, this achievement puts her in the top one hundredth of one percent, truly elite company. But milestones like this are never accomplished alone. This moment reflects the countless hours in the gym, the teammates who trusted her, pushed her, and celebrated alongside her, the coaches who believed and challenged her, and the family, fans, and community who have filled the stands year after year. This is not just an individual accomplishment, this is a Genesee accomplishment. We invite everyone to be part of this special night as Averie and our Wolves take on Clio in a home tripleheader.
💚 Today: Wednesday, January 14th
🕓 Doors Open: 4:00 PM
🏀 Boys JV: 4:30 PM
🏀 Girls Varsity: 6:00 PM, Averie’s historic moment
🏀 Boys Varsity: approximately 7:30 PM
Come early. Pack the gym. Be loud. Be proud. Let’s celebrate history together. Data note: Historical ranking is based on publicly reported Michigan girls basketball career scoring records. Participation estimates are derived from Michigan High School Athletic Association annual participation data across multiple decades and reflect conservative estimates of unique athletes. 🐺 Go Wolves.
