5th grade science planted terrariums as a way to kick off our ecosystems unit. The kids made great observations and will be observing plant growth (and real soil conditions) over the next several weeks.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Spring Break! Here is a quick update with Mr. Suever and Dale!

We hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday! Yesterday, our QMS students (and a class from the HS) enjoyed having Alex Melendez from the Michigan Storm Chasers speak to them about weather and storm chasing. Alex presented on a variety of topics, ranging from how he became interested in meteorology and what that can look like for students, to weather phenomena and safety. The students were then given a chance to ask questions during a Q & A session. Alex made sure to answer everyone's questions, even the bonus ones as students were leaving.
Our students were amazing audience members and great scientific thinkers with their questions. The 5th and 6th grade teams enjoyed the first presentation, while the 7th and 8th graders participated in the second session. Alex was impressed by their attentiveness and questioning.
We want to thank Mr. Miller, our 6th grade science teacher, for setting this up. We also want to express our gratitude to Breco for sponsoring such a cool opportunity for our students!
Talk about strawberry sweetness! Students district wide were treated to a strawberry shortcake donut breakfast in celebration of Valentine's Day. May everyone have a fabulous weekend!!
Brookelyn, a QHS Senior, and Clare, a QHS Junior, were guest speakers today in Mr. Barnes's afternoon health classes at QMS. They came in to talk about high school life and being good leaders. Both girls are extremely involved at Quincy High School, and both have been great role models for our future high schoolers.
The students have been working hard on their minis and learned how to work with water-slide transfers (pictures will be in next week's post). Another piece of exciting news comes from the heroes over at Golden Rhino Games in Ypsilanti, who donated a whole table's worth of supplies, minis, rules, and a playmat with terrain. This was a very generous offer and we really appreciate them helping out! Stay tuned to see the kids use those supplies as the year goes on!
Mrs. Neusbaum's class celebrated National Hot Chocolate Day today since we don't have school tomorrow. Students could choose to add marshmallows, chocolate chips, whipped cream and a chocolate spoon. A big thank you to Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Ostrander for donating the toppings!
We are BACK! It was great to have everyone back at school. Here is this week's update:

Our hope is to see you all again at QMS tomorrow! For our dress-up days, we are giving students the option to go with Monday's (Heroes vs. Villains) or Tuesday's (Inside Out) theme. Stay warm and Go Quincy!
Warhammer Club update from Mr. Patrick:
With the club underway, students have begun showing their painting prowess on their first couple models. From base coats, to highlights, to dry rushing. They are learning all sorts of painting styles and techniques. They've even shown their creativity by using grass tufts to give their models some spiky hair!

We are staying warm today in 6th grade social studies while working on our soap carvings. Lots of fun and creativity!
It's that time again, the Warhammer Club has begun! Last week, students were introduced to war in the far future, and got to build their first two miniatures! Stay tuned for next week to see them start painting!
Thanks, Mr. Patrick, for bringing this back this year. Our kids are fortunate to have options for their various interests.
Here's a special message from Coach Gross and our QMS competitive cheer team:
🖤 Black: 429.3
🧡 Orange: 376.1
What an unforgettable way to close out our season! ❤️
We wrapped things up with an impressive 2nd place finish at the Onsted Invite, and I couldn’t be more proud of these athletes.
This team showed up ALL season long and it paid off —
✨ 5 First Place finishes
✨ 1 Second Place finish
✨ 2 Third Place finishes
Bringing home TWO trophies, ONE plaque, and our BIG 8 TITLE CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆🏆🎉
On top of that, Onsted hosted individual skills competitions and our girls SHINED:
🤸♀️ Handstand – Molly 🥇, Kashtyn 🥈
💪 Heel Stretch – Kadence 🥈
Beyond the scores, the hardware, and the placements — this season has been such a blessing. I am so incredibly thankful for our athletes who gave their hearts, our parents who supported us every step of the way, and my assistant coaches who worked endlessly beside me. This truly is a special group of people, and I am beyond grateful to call this my cheer family.
So proud. So thankful. So much love for this team. 🧡🖤
What a season.
