On Saturday, March 14, fifth-grade East Jordan student inventors competed at the regional Invention Convention in Kalkaska. A total of 77 students from area schools participated in the competition. East Jordan was proudly represented by Maiya Goodrich, Ayla Miller, and Luke Kuchinski. Congratulations to Maiya and Ayla for placing among the top 30 students and advancing to the state competition at The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation!
Invention Convention Worldwide, hosted by The Henry Ford, empowers K–12 students to become inventors and entrepreneurs by solving real-world problems through creativity, design, testing, and innovation. Students identify a need, imagine a solution, and then design, build, and test a working prototype.
Please join us in wishing Maiya and Ayla the best of luck as they advance to the next level of the Invention Convention at the Henry Ford, where they will compete for the opportunity to move on to the national competition.

From Classroom to Career — Right Here at EJ.
One of the things I care deeply about is making sure our students leave East Jordan not just with a diploma — but with direction.
Through Career & Technical Education (CTE), job coaching, and co-op opportunities, students are:
• Earning credits while gaining real job experience
• Working with local employers
• Getting paid while learning valuable skills
• Stepping confidently into careers after graduation
These programs create real pathways — whether that’s skilled trades, technical fields, or continued education with purpose.
On May 5, 2026, voters will consider the renewal of the Career Tech millage that helps sustain these opportunities across our region.
This is about preparing students for life beyond high school — and doing it well.
I encourage you to take a few minutes to read the full story and see the impact for yourself:
