Plays, Scholarships, Business Plans and Blossom Time

This time of year so much is happening it's very hard to keep track of it all. We had the spring musical, A Year with Frog and Toad, and it went very well. The Career and Technical Education awards saw six students honored and three given scholarships. We also had five students bring business plans at the Ed Lowe Foundation's Young Entrepreneurship Day. Two of our five students won four of the county-wide awards. In addition, two of our students are members of the Blossom Time Court and were on hand for an assembly at Squires Elementary. Wow! Also, let me take a second to welcome Mrs. Dee Voss to the administrative team of Cassopolis Public schools as the principal of Sam Adams Elementary! It's nice to have you aboard!
