The flu has made its way to the high school. While the elementary schools are recovering and increasing their attendance rates, the high school is starting to decline. This progression is fairly typical. The little ones get hit first and then the high school kids get it a week or two later.
The girls volleyball team won last night and will face Shelby on Wednesday at 5:30 at Newaygo. I wish I could be there but I was asked to substitute at GVSU for the night and will follow through on my promise. I hate missing those big games. On Friday, I will be joining the cross country team at MIS. The team always goes down the night before and I serve as the district representative. That means I won’t be able to see the girls volleyball team on Friday if they win on Wednesday. Too many good things going on this week!
In the coming weeks, you’ll start hearing about a new community service day at FHS. The staff and I were presented with a community service idea from Tressa Wenk. The staff overwhelmingly supported the idea. The plan is to take one day out of our calendar and perform community and environmental projects. The goal is to teach students about community responsibility and being good stewards of our environment. We hope for it to become an annual project.
