Baraga's Travel Club members are having a fantastic time in Europe! They have been up a mountain, eaten fondue, and swam in an alpine lake in Switzerland. After that, they spent two nights in Italy where they swam in the Mediterranean Sea, explored the Cinque Terre region, and ate a lot of gelato. The next stop was Monaco - the 2nd smallest country in the world!

Throughout this school year, the Baraga Area Schools 6th grade class has been working on a project to remove invasive species and replace them with native species. This project worked with: EGLE (Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s Nonpoint Source Program), KISMA (Keweenaw Invasive Species Management Area), the Keweenaw Bay Indian Community Natural Resources Department. Native plants were purchased from Artley’s Greenhouse in L’Anse and Design by Nature in Marquette.
The students partnered with KISMA to create presentations about native and invasive species in our area. Each student was given a native and an invasive species to research. This research was used to make a poster that was proudly displayed at Baraga Area Schools and at Michigan Technological University.
The KBIC Natural Resources Department came in and discussed the proper way to remove invasive species and how to plant and to replace these native species. Students voted on what they would replace the invasive species once they were removed from the front of the Baraga School. The removal of the invasive species and replacement with native species has taken place and there has been lots of positive comments about this project.
The sixth graders went on a field trip to the lakefront in L’Anse to pick rocks to paint for a border around the project. This painting was extended to all elementary students and will be completed this week.
The new native species plants were purchased by Western U. P. (Region 16) MiSTEM Network…Native seeds to plant were also given to all students.
Students gained considerable knowledge about both native and invasive species through this project and in their science class. Mrs. Shari Pizziola was the instrumental teacher for this project.
Now, the 6th graders at Baraga Area Schools are challenging you at home to remove your invasive plants and replace them with native species to help our community.

Baraga Schools had their Spring Concert on Friday, May 9, 2025 under the direction of Mrs. Ashlee Adams. This included singing by students in Transitional Kindergarten to 5th grade and the Middle School Choir.
This event was well attended. All students and staff at Baraga Schools were present as well as many parents, grandparents, relatives, and friends.
Following the event was a special recognition of Mrs. Kathi Warner who is retiring after 35 years of service at Baraga Area Schools. There was a vase with flowers in the center of the gymnasium floor in front of the audience. Baraga Administration and Staff along with former students wished her well. Everyone sang, "Country Roads Take me Home" as this is a song Mrs. Warner has taught to all of her students.
