A BIG shout out to our boys' varsity track team for their outstanding performance at Saturday's MITCA Team State Championship Meet at Hillsdale College. The boys were ranked 5th in the state going into the meet. The top 14 teams in D4 from a field of 135 teams competed at the meet. The boys' teamwork & effort led to a 4th place finish, which was ahead of our state ranking. Congratulations to our athletes and coaches for a season to be remembered. Good Luck to our athletes on the boys' & girls' teams who will compete in Hudsonville on Saturday at the D4 MHSAA Individual State Championship.
Congratulations and good luck to our Varsity Track boys competing in MITCA Team States tomorrow! From these goofy middle schoolers learning along side a new coach to where you are now, it has been awesome to watch you all grow and succeed. Don't forget to have some fun, and I am so proud of you!
-- Your (former) Coach Roda

Making bread rolls with my kindergarten class. We've been studying Colonial Times. We learned about how the farmers grew wheat, millers made flour from the grain, and bakers made the bread. So I brought in dough for them to knead. And then bake. We all enjoyed the warm bread that our cook, Mrs. Dines, kindly baked for us during our recess.
