HOOVER MIDDLE SCHOOL loves 'Nine Square'


Hoover Middle School students love the new game in Physical Education called “Nine Square, Up In The Air.”  Students conquer their opponents alone or as a pair, as they volley the ball between all nine squares.  The object of the game is to try to rotate to become the king or queen in the middle.

KENNEDY HIGH SCHOOL seniors, staff celebration 100 percent college applications!


For the second year in a row, all Kennedy High School seniors have applied to college.  

Seniors were treated to a pancake breakfast November 12 that included raffles, gifts of sunglasses, goodie bags and t-shirts to commemorate their achievement.

Supt. Diane Allen personally congratulated the Class of 2016 and helped other staffers flip pancakes.  

The drive was all part of the Michigan College Application Week (MCAW).  Mrs. Loomis and the counselors began visiting classrooms earlier this fall to present information on different colleges and the resources available to students.  

Students applied to many Michigan colleges as well as to those out of state. Many Michigan college application fees were waived because Kennedy participates in the MCAW event.
