“OUR CHILDREN, OUR VISION,

OUR FUTURE”

DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY

SAYS YES TO BOARD PLAN

State Treasurer Robert Kleine has notified the Board of Education that the Treasury Department has studied, reviewed, and approved the plan to build at the Birchview School and reorganize teaching stations (preschool – grade 6 at the Birchview School and grades 7 and 8 at what is now the Central School side of Ishpeming High School).  This means that the Board can place the $11,240,000 bond proposal on the May 4 ballot and, if approved by the voters, the bonds will be guaranteed by the State.

The Treasury Department action supports the Board plan and the State guarantee makes the bonds more attractive to investors.

The election is on Tuesday, May 4, 2010.  The polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.  Voting takes place at the Ishpeming Senior Center, the Phelps School, and the Ishpeming Township Hall.  If you are not sure of where you vote, call Ishpeming City Clerk Jenifer Rajala (485-1091) or Ishpeming Township Clerk Susan Jandron (485-5411).

Healthier School Environment Program

Children should have access to healthy food and be able to make healthy food choices wherever they are. That is why Phelps Middle School has been chosen to participate in the Healthier School Environment program funded in part by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the Michigan Dairy council. Throughout this academic school year we will be sponsoring various activities and programs to encourage students to make healthy choices in their daily diet and activities. Each month we will be providing different recipes to inspire healthy eating choices.

This month we are focusing on “Pizzas with Pizzazz!”  Suggestions for healthful pizza toppings:
