Our middle schoolers are having a great time at the summer fun program! On Tuesday they took a trip to Iargo Springs and Lumberman’s monument to learn about Michigan history and the role that logging played in the development of our early economy. Today they were visited by Mr. Jim Miller, who talked about plant identification and taught students the primitive skill of making natural cordage using native plants. Students created bracelets and necklaces with the cordage they made. Participants also painted rocks to take home and to place around the school campus. Thank you to our team members and community members that are making the summer program possible! #alconaschools
