Last Friday, Trattoria Stella welcomed students from the Transition Campus Work Experience Program to celebrate the conclusion of a successful year-long partnership. The Work Experience Program provides students with hands-on vocational learning opportunities within the community, helping to develop workplace skills while strengthening communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. With the support of a Job Coach, students are able to explore career interests, build confidence, and gain valuable real-world experiences. We are grateful to Trattoria Stella for hosting our appreciation celebration and for providing meaningful learning opportunities that have contributed to our students' growth and success throughout the school year.

With the utmost joy, we present to you the North Ed Transition Campus class of 2026! This graduation ceremony for Life Skills Center (LSC) and Adult Community Experience (ACE) students marks the end of one journey, and the beginning of many others, as several graduates bring the skills they’ve learned in our programs to new employment opportunities, such as Grand Traverse Industries. The work done at our Transition Campus truly embodies North Ed’s vision: partnering to ensure every learner will have pathways to a meaningful life. It has been an honor to watch each of you grow, adapt and thrive. We can’t wait to cheer you on as you conquer the world! Congratulations, graduates.

Transition Campus Prom is a true celebration of student growth and empowerment. Beyond the music and fun, it highlights the vital social skills and meaningful friendships our students build every day. Gathering together with families, staff and students to celebrate these achievements is what makes prom night so deeply meaningful.

Thank you, Chris Tredway, for volunteering your talents and capturing these moments.

The best way to start Teacher Appreciation Day is with a full heart and an even fuller plate! North Ed staff gathered at Career Tech this morning for our annual Staff Appreciation Breakfast. This event was a reminder that North Ed staff don’t only serve students, we serve our fellow educators every day! Thank you to all of the staff who volunteered their time to make this event special and to our Culinary Arts program who created this fantastic feast.
