This Friday, we will induct new honorees to the 2026 Oscoda Athletics Hall of Fame.
One of those to be inducted is Rick Beck, a 1977 graduate of Oscoda High School won 6 varsity letters during his athletic career, garnering all-conference honors in both football (1975 and 1976) and baseball (1975, 1976 and 1977). In 1975, he won the prestigious Golden Helmet Award for his achievement in Football. Beck’s athletic career didn’t end upon his graduation from Oscoda.

We hope everyone is enjoying their summer break and making wonderful memories! As we start thinking about the upcoming school year, we wanted to share the suggested school supply lists for K-6 students. These lists will also be included in the back-to-school information mailing, which will contain class and teacher placements. We anticipate this mailing will be sent out during the second week of August.
We look forward to welcoming our students back for another amazing school year!







In an exciting hands-on project, third graders at Richardson Elementary brought their curriculum to life by raising chickens right in their classrooms. This unique educational initiative is part of their "Structures of Life" science unit.
Students began by incubating chicken eggs, eagerly awaiting the hatching process. They monitored the incubator conditions, ensuring the right temperature and humidity levels, and learned about the embryonic development stages.
Once the chicks hatched, the classroom buzzed with excitement. Ms. Stormer brought the project full circle by bringing in a full grown rooster “Chippy” and hen “Sunshine” for the classes to see. This particular hen was a chicken that started as an egg in Mrs. Simpson’s third grade class last year.
Students integrated their ELA standards during the unit with the cultivating activity of presenting the process of raising chickens to other grade-levels. Students focused on the qualities of good speaking, and practiced sharing their research before presenting to their audiences.










Kindergarten students at RES wrapped up their CKLA unit of Kings and Queens by having a royal tea party and dressing as Kings and Queens. This is a collage of the Kings and Queens celebration in each kindergarten class. We also wanted to recognize our local Oscoda Burger King for donating crowns to every kindergartener and being so willing to help us with the event. Thank you!
