🏴☠️ Pirate Fans! Let’s come out and cheer our boys on as they head to Michigan Center this Friday (Oct. 17th)! Fans can line up along the grass area by Brooklyn Road Veterinary Clinic or the Dollar General lawn at the South Street turn. The bus will depart from the high school at 5:30pm; so I suggest being at your choice of cheering location close to 5:30 to get set up because it won’t take long for 🚌 to get there.
Bring your signs, wear your Pirate green, and bring your loudest cheers!
💚 Let’s GO PIRATES!!! 💚

Ackerson High School Visits “JUST BUILD IT!” Construction Expo
Students and staff from Ackerson High School recently attended the “JUST BUILD IT!” Construction Career Expo at the Washtenaw Farm Council Grounds. This exciting event gave students a unique opportunity to explore careers in the commercial construction industry through hands-on activities, live demonstrations, and interactive exhibits.
Throughout the day, students engaged with skilled trade apprenticeship programs, watched industry professionals like architects and engineers in action, and connected with representatives from construction firms, educational institutions, and industry organizations.
The Expo was a valuable experience that sparked interest in high-demand construction careers and allowed students to gain firsthand insight into the industry.

On Thursday, Mrs. Tiihonen's Kindergarten students read the book, On The Corner of Chocolate Avenue, detailing the life of Milton Hershey. The kids learned how to use a conveyor belt, added with Hershey Kisses, and created their own chocolate bar. This activity was a part of the Literacy plus STEM kits from the ISD.

Dear Pirate Families,
GOOD NEWS, although the legislature has not yet passed the Michigan state budget for the upcoming fiscal year impacting funding for the "Michigan School Meals" program, which provided universal free breakfast and lunch to students last year, Napoleon Community Schools has been approved to participate in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program. This means ALL students enrolled at Napoleon Community Schools can receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to families.
We are committed to ensuring that every student continues to have uninterrupted access to nutritious meals as well as maintaining our other essential programs. As a friendly reminder, we request that all families complete the Educational Benefits Form if they have not already done so. While meals are currently being offered at no cost, this confidential form is essential for securing critical funding that supports our classrooms, student services, and staffing. Thank you for your cooperation!
You can complete the form online in just a few minutes through the Meal Magic portal at: https://napoleon.familyportal.cloud/ and then click “Apply for Benefits” (no login required).
Sincerely,
Andrea Haskell
Food Service Director

UPDATE from the Pirate EQUESTRIAN TEAM!
"This past weekend we headed into Regionals with lots of hard work and preparation. The down fall is you cannot watch video or scope out your competition before hand like other sports because we show in our district meets at the same time just in many different zones across the state.
We faced challenging patterns in small arenas, horses with their own ideas, and great competition! We, like true pirates, battled until the very end.
In the end we made Top 3! Every four years our region takes the top three. This is our year! We’re going to STATES!! First time in Napoleon history. And I’m checking to see how long for any district in Jackson County… a long while for sure!
Either way these lady pirates are making Napoleon history! We are here for the “ride” (pun intended…lol).
State Finals is a costly adventure- the school does not fund any of our show or expenses. We fundraise and rider’s families pay out of pocket. We are looking for additional sponsors to help these PIRATES go to State Finals.
State Meet is held in Midland, Wednesday October 8-Sunday October 12. Horses, rider & family will be staying in Midland this whole time. If you or a business would like to help financially, you may donate to a rider, family, Napoleon Equestrian team at Flagstar bank, or the team PayPal account:
https://www.paypal.me/NapoleonEquestrian
All help is greatly appreciated and welcomed to make this adventure possible for the whole team! Please feel free to message me or the other coaches for additional information."
