Yesterday morning, our MSHS Astronomy students headed out to the front lawn with a Seestar s50 smart telescope and captured this beautiful image of the Moon!
Today's Moon is in its waning gibbous phase, about 94% illuminated, just two days after the full Moon.

Students had the opportunity to examine lunar craters, the darker volcanic plains called maria, and the boundary between lunar day and night, known as the terminator.

Our Business Management students welcomed Chris Cheney, owner and founder of Contrast Coffee, to hear about his journey building Contrast Coffee into the successful Upper Peninsula business we all know and love!

Chris went above and beyond to make the presentation engaging, bringing coffee and merch as prizes for students who could recall details from his story. Every student also received a free drink coupon and a sticker—and he even kicked things off with brownies! ☕️🍫

Thank you, Chris, for your generosity, time, and for sharing your entrepreneurial journey with our students. We loved learning more about the story behind a local business that means so much to our community!
