Seniors attended an informational meeting today with BWL (Board of Water & Light) to learn about their 1st STEP program which offers seniors the opportunity for a paid Work-Based Learning position during semester 2 of their senior year ($15/hr) that would also include scholarship money for their future education or possible job opportunities with them after graduation. Attached you will find all of the information they were given this morning.

This opportunity would be put into their school schedule (3hrs) during semester 2 if they are accepted into the program and could be done in conjunction with other work-based learning or CCRESA programs they are already in (as long as they have fulfilled all necessary graduation requirements).

An Open House is being held tomorrow evening for interested students/parents looking to check out their facilities and ask questions.

Good Afternoon EEK Families!

As a reminder, when picking up your child after school, please make sure the appropriate name card is clearly displayed in your vehicle window. For those who are already doing this, thank you for your help!

We also kindly ask that all toys and squishies remain at home. Unfortunately, some that have been brought to school have broke and leaving residue throughout the school, which makes clean up difficult.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school environment clean and safe for everyone.

Dear Ovid Elsie Area School Parents/Guardians:

Once again the Old NewsBoys Association of Greater Lansing will be providing footwear to students who qualify. A request for student footwear will need to be filled out and returned to Mrs. Alexander at either Leonard or E. E. Knight Elementary. Families are encouraged to complete the footwear form as soon as possible.

Please include all school age children from the same family on one request, even if the children attend different schools. Families may only request footwear from the Old Newsboys through one agency. Children qualify for footwear if they receive free and reduced lunch.

Footwear request forms are being sent home this week! If needed, please contact me at Leonard or E. E. Knight Elementary (989-834-2271 x1323) or by email at: morgan.alexander@ovidelsie.org
Thank you very much.
