The GIRESD Student Leadership Community has released a powerful new podcast episode created entirely by local students from Alma, Ashley, Beal City, Fulton, and St. Louis schools.
The conversation focuses on Student Mental Health and Belonging. In this candid episode, our student leaders share their firsthand perspectives on:
The Biggest Stressors: What is truly impacting students today.
Support: Ideas on how schools & parents can support student mental health.
Coping Skills: The tools and strategies they use to manage daily stress.
It is an incredibly insightful conversation from the youth in our community. Please take 20 minutes out of your day to give it a listen and support our students!

Educators from across the region met for two days at Winding Brook Conference Centre for the AI and Media Literacy Leadership Collaborative. Participants gave up two days of their summer to make plans to help students and staff learn appropriate ways to use AI in schools, and were able to share ideas for students, teachers, and families. This joint venture from the REMC of Michigan and ALP was made possible thanks to a grant from the Michigan Department of Education.
Join educators from across Michigan at the Michigan AI & Media Literacy Conference to explore practical AI tools, classroom-ready strategies, and ways to help students become thoughtful digital citizens.
