Good morning, Ypsilanti.
🎭 Culture
Bestselling author Mary Roach visited the University of Michigan Extracorporeal Life Support Lab in January 2024 to see a pig heart beating on a machine—she used the visit as inspiration for her new book Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy and will discuss it on Tuesday, Sept. 23 at the City Opera House.
🎓 Education
Ann Arbor-area and Washtenaw County schools scored above the state average on M-STEP, SAT and PSAT tests last spring, the Michigan Department of Education reported.
However, reading and math scores among younger students fell—mirroring statewide trends.
Estabrook Elementary transformed an unused area using Title I funding into Eagle’s Nest— a multi-purpose hub built to support students, parents and staff.
The new space offers comfortable furniture and vibrant displays designed to welcome families.
