Congratulations, Class of 2015!
Senior Class Trip to
Washington, D.C.
The senior class of 2015 had an incredible
time in Washington D.C. during their class
trip. The three-day trip began with a beautiful
visit to Mount Vernon and included compelling
educational stops at the American Holocaust
Museum, Newseum, Arlington Cemetery,
Smithsonian Museums and a capital tour given by
none other than Senator Debbie Stabenow and her
lovely staff. The trip was topped off with an incredible
and powerful evening monument tour.
Here’s to a great end of the year trip for a very
special group of young men and women off to
conquer the world in the name of LPS!
Our kids bonded over group dinners, stops at
Starbucks, and a cumulative 30 hours spent on the
bus together. Many of them reflected upon their many
years together as classmates, companions, castmates,
and teammates at Leland Public School.
We are grateful to Leland Educational Foundation
for helping to fund this amazing adventure, as well as
the chaperones: Ashley Suttmann, Jill Kattelus,
Travis Baker, and Charlie Gann. The trip was filled
with laughs, debates, and plenty of “a little bit of trivia,
no extra charge.”

Ridiculously Brilliant Inventor
Ellie Mugerian, a sixth grader at Leland Public School
in Mrs. Karen Kirt’s class, won a Ridiculously Brilliant
Inventor’s Contest sponsored by Scholastic Books. Ellie
was selected as a top ten inventor out of 30,000 entries.
She created a “Swiss Artist,” which is a take off on a Swiss
army knife, but for artists.
This program was started by three students in Mr.
Keven Pershinske’s class, who inquired about how
technology contributes to change. Their interest in
inventors and their inventions led them to form “The
Inventors Club” under the mentorship of Maureen
Earl. They found the perfect event for their club with
Scholastic’s Brilliantly Ridiculous Invention Contest. The
Ellie Mugerian, inventor
three students encouraged all elementary students to
submit entries. Ellie’s top ten prize came with $250 of free
books for her and $750 toward the science program at LPS.
Fifth and sixth graders planned a field trip to Impressions 5
Science Center in Lansing with the prize money. 3

Class of 2015 Honors Physics students with
the Gamma Ray Detector inside the Heavy Ion
Collider at Argonne National Laboratory.
Honors Physics Class
Goes To Chicago
The Leland Education Foundation once again made
it possible for the 24 Honors Physics students to take their
annual Physics trip to Chicago. For the past 16 years the trip
has continued to be a draw for students who might otherwise
not endure the difficulties of a yearlong course in physics.
LEF has been directly involved in growing and sustaining
our physics program.
The trip began with an early Sunday morning departure
as we joined students from Glen Lake, Kalkaska, Charlevoix,
Forest Area, and Traverse City Central. The first stop was
the Museum of Science and Industry, followed by the Field
Museum, and wound up in downtown Chicago at the top
of the Hancock Tower to take a look at the city from above.
On day two, we made our annual visit to Fermilab, the
home of the now retired Tevataron particle accelerator.
There we met with a particle physicist for a question and
answer session. The second half of the day was spent at
Argonne National Laboratory, which is a multidisciplinary
high-end science lab. This year, students had the opportunity
to explore the Heavy Ion Collider, where they smash heavy
ions (atoms with a charge) into a target in an attempt to
get them to form new undiscovered heavy elements. The
students were able to get down into the heart of the collider
because it was shut down for upgrades.
The final day was spent at Six Flags amusement park
experiencing the physics that they had studied throughout
the year. They lived Newton’s Laws in a truly thrilling manner
as they became projectiles and experienced g-forces caused
by the accelerations on the different rides. This is no doubt
the students’ favorite day of the trip.
This trip has become something that students look
forward to throughout their high school career at LPS. We are
exceedingly grateful for the Leland Education Foundation
and the Leland Boosters for their generous support.

Over 50 Girls from
Leland Celebrate
Running
Leland Public School Girls on the Run
and Girls on Track members in Grades 3 to 8
participated in an 8-week running program
this spring, which culminated in a celebratory
5 km run over Memorial Day Weekend.
The Girls on the Run and Girls on Track
program strengthens our young ladies
through exercise and empowerment activities.
As their community service project, Girls on
Track runners chose to plant a tree in honor
of Abby Gross on the school grounds. The
hemlock, which is a climbing tree, is located
next to the main entrance. The girls also sent
Abby a message and hung it on the tree after
planting.
Funding from Leelanau County and
Traverse City Track Club maintain these
programs in order to keep the cost minimal
for the girls. At Leland Public School, volunteer
coaches are: Karen Kirt, Ann Knudsen, Kim
Fowler, Rachael Ball Dyer, Jenna Chapman,
Suzanne Couturier, Sara Kellogg-Wilke, and
Katie Cochran.

Service, Action and Connections Beyond the Classroom
“Service” and “Action” are important and engaging parts of teaching and learning at LPS.
Through carefully crafted units of inquiry, Service and Action are opportunities to build
authentic, relevant connections between what is learned in the classroom and the local and global
community. These experiences may be familiar, i.e., volunteer work, simulations, or projects
to raise awareness, or they may even be events to stimulate further understanding prompting
students to apply what they are learning simply by making an informed decision. The end result
is students gaining a greater awareness of our community and our world and, more importantly,
their role and responsibilities in it. gy from

First and Second Graders
Making memories at the
Sand Dunes
For the year-end annual field trip, Mrs. Scott’s, Mr.
Seguin’s and Mrs. Lautner’s first and second graders
went to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes. It is always a
favorite field trip for them.
The day was filled with multiple climbs to the top
of the dunes, digging and building in the sand, hiking
the nearby trail, making sand angels, and so much more.
This year the school bus took the classes to the top of the
scenic drive where they were able to see the steep dunes
and the vast water of Lake Michigan. The day ended with
a race down the dunes with Mr. Seguin in front. The chilly
day did not stop the students from enjoying this alwaysfavorite field trip. Third and Fourth Graders Experience South Manitou
The third and fourth grades made their biannual
trip to South Manitou Island in June. The island’s
historical connection to shipping and farming is a
perfect extension of our International Baccalaureate
themes of inquiry focusing on economy, geographical
area, natural resources, and energy.
On a foggy morning, students, staff, and parent
chaperones rode the Mishe Mokwa to the island. We
were happy to see the fog burn off and we enjoyed our
lunch at the picnic area by the docks. Cathy Bechtel
supplied us with sandwiches from the Village Cheese
Shanty, earnings from our Box Top Contest winnings.
After lunch, trailers pulled by tractors took us to
the historical parts of the island including some old
growth cedars, farms, and the one-room schoolhouse.
The guide explained why people settled on South
Manitou, how they lived, and what made the island
such an important shipping port. The schoolhouse
was especially interesting as we were able to sit at
the original desks, view authentic artifacts, and hear
what school was like for the island children.
It began to rain and we spent some time in
the boathouse. Parents and students handled this
challenge with a smile. When the rain stopped,
students headed to the lighthouse. The park ranger
told us about the lighthouse keeper’s job as we
climbed to the top and stepped out on the balcony.
The view was incredible. At 4:00 p.m., we made our
way back to the ferry for the ride home to the Leland
Marina.
We would like to thank our parent chaperones,
the guides on the island, and the Manitou Island
Transit for making this educational trip happen with
ease. We also want to thank the Leland Educational
Foundation and Leland Boosters for supporting us
financially and enabling us to extend our students’
education beyond the classroom.

Fifth Graders Adventure to
Mackinac Island
The class of 2022 and their teachers, Mrs. Suttmann,
Mr. Kelenske and Mrs. Kirt, celebrated the end of a
wonderful school year with a trip to Mackinac Island.
This fabulous experience was once again made
possible by the Leland Boosters Club and the Leland
Educational Foundation. A huge thank you goes out to
the wonderful volunteers of these groups!
Students enjoyed the beautiful weather with biking
around the island, visiting Fort Mackinac, and of course,
buying great souvenirs and delicious fudge! For the first
time ever, we added a carriage tour of the island and it
was amazing!
Thank you to our fabulous chaperones: Claire Wilder,
Cindy Dailey, Ryan Cook, Shawn Botruff, and Stephanie
Berger-Nelson. The kids will never forget this trip (and
neither will their teachers!).
Sixth Graders
Brave the Seas
Leland Sixth graders became “Sailors and Scientists”
for a day aboard the Manitou Schoolship. Fair weather
afforded students a valuable experience on May 29 from
Grand Traverse Bay where they enhanced their scientific
and geographical knowledge while learning about being
a steward of the Great Lakes. The Rotary Club of Suttons
Bay/Leelanau County generously funds this excursion.
Thank you! LPS Sixth Graders appreciate your goodwill.
A few favorite activities included steering the ship,
sifting through benthos (the sediment from the lake
bottom) for organisms, identifying various plankton
in water samples, examining fish species (most were
invasive), and testing the pH of Grand Traverse Bay. This
hands-on experience brings life to our classroom studies.
This four-hour education uses student knowledge of
mathematics, geography, life and physical sciences. The
LPS Sixth Graders showed their knowledge on the trip by
answering questions with ease and following ship protocol.
Our remarkable community works to make this
opportunity happen with the confluence of the quality
Leland Public School curriculum. Our chaperones Mrs.
Karen Kirt, Mrs. Ashley Suttmann, and Mr. Curtis
Kelenske assisted in helping the crew give the students
a rich and rewarding experience on the Manitou. Sixth
Graders embarked for shore feeling like proficient Sailors
and Scientists.

Leland Iron Chef Teams Place 1st & 2nd
Congratulations to the Leland Iron Chef Teams for placing first and second
in the countywide Iron Chef Competition! These teams not only developed their
own menus, which included many of their own recipes, but followed required
nutritional guidelines that emphasized fresh, local produce and whole grains with
a low-fat emphasis.
Students practiced cooking and plating these menus multiple times prior to the event. Learning how to use a
commercial kitchen and timing courses perfectly so the judges are ensured a warm and tasty meal is no easy feat!
A special thanks to Laura Miller for coordinating this event and Nick Seguin and Kathy Wheeler for coaching the
teams! The Team Members were: Maddie Laskey, Bryan Rodriguez, Alexis Heinlien, Maggie Molter, Jeremy Budzinski,
Gabby Lingaur, Marrissa Rodriguez, Maribel Rodriguez, Wyatt Sirrine, and Gavin Miller.
Kindergartners Help Monarchs
As part of an IB Unit on Sharing the Planet, kindergarters
took action and learned how human actions can affect
other living things. Each fall, kindergartners learn about the
monarch life cycle and witness it first hand by observing
metamorphosis in their classrooms. They recently learned
that there are not very many monarchs left in the world.
The population has been declining due to loss of habitat.
They wanted to do something to help. They sprouted
milkweed from seed and ordered plants from Dee Glass
at Hollyhocks and Vines. In June, thanks to help from
volunteers Merrilynn Bouckaert and Paul Peschel, the
school gardens were prepared and milkweed was planted.
The next step of taking action involved sharing the
message with a wider audience so that people are aware and
can take steps to help. Students made posters encouraging
others to plant milkweed and to leave milkweed where they
find it growing. These were distributed around the school
and to local businesses. Teachers Kristy Fisher, Beth
Osorio and Danielle Seitter say that students have made
10
some deep connections and have been able to represent
what they have learned in a variety of ways. The children
love monarchs and are passionate about trying to help
them. They want you to know that milkweeds are the ONLY
food source for monarch caterpillars and the ONLY place
that the butterflies will lay their eggs.
To learn more about what you can do, ask a Leland
Kindergartener or go to http://www.monarchwatch.org.

Sweeney Todd – School Edition
High School Musical-Spring 2015
Mr. Todd (Gunnar Carlson) took control of the space as the
audience had thrilling perspectives as the Performing Arts Center
was transformed to a “theatre in the round.” Mrs. Lovett (Delaney
Klein) and Sweeney Todd planned and plotted from all angles to
ensure each gained their goals of greed and retribution: Mr. Todd,
wielding his blade to gain revenge for his unjust imprisonment
and separation from his family and Mrs. Lovett, wielding her wiles,
without conscience, in hopes to capture love and prosperity from
Sweeney. The ensemble told of the plights of the poor and the
injustices, as well as enthusiastically celebrating Lovett’s meat pies.
The audience, with their gasps and applause, anticipated and
watched as Sweeney violently disposed of victims down a shoot
till he got to his goal – Judge Turpin (Noah Jurek) – who unjustly
incarcerated Sweeney, assaulted his wife Lucy (Kati Kattelus), and
presented evil designs upon Sweeney’s daughter Joanna (Maddie
Siddall). Mrs. Lovett repurposed the bodies into tasty meat pies
that promoted her to a new status of wealth and desirability.
The Leland Public School Theatre ensemble and principles
owned the roles of the inhabitants of Fleet Street in London,
England, depicting the privileges of the “haves” and the downtrodden lives of the “have-nots” with their vocal talents and
acting. The crew worked tirelessly to bring the set design, lighting,
sound, and stage management to a professional level, keeping the
quality of support consistent while showcasing the talents of the
performers.
Those who saw this incredible production are still talking
about it today. If you are interested in seeing pictures, go to

equipment, assist with field trip costs, various
teacher supply requests and a celebration to the
highest-collecting class.
This year, Mr. Seguin’s class topped the
collection race with a total of 1106 and were the
recipients of the FIRST ever Box Tops Trophy. Mr.
Seguin will retain this trophy in his classroom until

Pennies for Patients
For the fifth straight year Mrs. Karen
Kirt’s class participated in Pennies for
Patients, a program that uses donated
funds from schools for leukemia and
lymphoma research in Michigan. Madeline
North spearheaded the effort in the Kirt
Kid classroom this year by preparing a
statement about the importance of research.
Maddy is passionate about this topic since
her father suffers from leukemia, but is
currently in remission. This year Leland
Public School Elementary raised almost
$1300.00 for this cause.

IMMUNIZATIONS/WAIVER CHANGES
Waiver Changes
The rules for obtaining an immunization waiver have
changed. You may no longer receive a waiver form from
your local school. You must obtain the immunization waiver
from your local health department.
Contact your local health department to schedule
a waiver appointment. Benzie or Leelanau County:
256-0200, Grand Traverse County: 995-6131.
At the waiver appointment you will meet with a nurse.
The nurse will offer an opportunity for you to discuss your
concerns about vaccines and will provide you with credible,
science based information and resources. The appointment
will generally take 15-30 minutes.
If you still wish to waive some or all vaccines after
meeting with the nurse, the nurse will sign and stamp
a State of Michigan Immunization Waiver form. (We
cannot accept waiver forms without signature and stamp
from the health department.) You will need to give the
form to the school and a copy will be retained at the health
department.
Immunization Changes
If your child is not up to date with vaccines they
will not be allowed to attend school until they have
all vaccines up to date.
If you do not want your child to be vaccinated
for a specific disease you would need to obtain a
waiver form from the health department for that
vaccine. (See article at left.)
These new rules took effect on January 1, 2015.
We have to abide by these rules. These rules apply
to Kindergarten and children going into the
7th grade. They also apply to newly enrolled
students in the school district regardless of
grade. Please do not wait until the last minute to
make an appointment.
Remember that school
will begin on September 8,
2015 and we want to see your
child’s wonderful face in front
of us on that day.
