As you prepare to begin the next adventure in your lives, remember to view challenges as opportunities for greatness, and consider the tremendous impact each one of you has in our world!

The video below is a great illustration of how we find what we look for. I hope you enjoy it!

Congratulations go out to all our girl’s track athletes and to their coaches who motivate and inspire them to achieve.  Coach Smith and Coach Niklasch promised to wear earrings and serenade their student athletes if they beat their opponents by more than 120 points at the City meet.  Hats off to the coaches and the girls for a great season!

Local Students will take discovery flights with the West Michigan Flight Academy (WMFA) in collaboration with the 21st Century After school programs of Muskegon. At 3:30 PM students from Steel, Bunker, Holton, and Reeths Puffer will be treated to airplane rides because of the great focus and commitment to their work in 21st Century-WMFA’s Young Aviators after school program.
