Oscoda Senior George Kirby recently competed in the annual MITES (Michigan Industrial Technological Education Society) regional & state competition that showcases students' manufacturing skills. George is a second year student in the Iosco RESA Welding & Fabrication Program.
He entered his go kart in the open division and placed first at the regional event. This allowed him to compete at the state level where he won the open division against some very tough off road vehicles entered by other students from across the state. We want to congratulate George on his wins and being a State Champ!

🚌💙 Today we celebrate Bus Driver Appreciation Day, and we want to give a special shoutout to a group we truly appreciate—our drivers who transport students to our special education center.
What they do goes far beyond getting students from point A to point B. They show patience, compassion, and understanding every single day. They build trust with students who may need extra time, extra care, and extra encouragement. They adapt to unique needs, navigate challenges, and create a safe, welcoming start and end to each student’s day. 🏫
Their commitment stretches across a large area, covering four school districts throughout Iosco County—navigating long distances in all types of conditions. No matter what they face, they show up ready to serve with consistency and care.
Thank you for your dedication, your kindness, and the heart you bring to your work. You make a difference in ways that really matter. ✨
