~Bond and Sinking Fund Projects and Updates~

We are extremely grateful to our community for their generous support with our 2020 Bond Projects and the Sinking Fund support from 2017-2026.  Here is a link to see all of the projects completed and those set to be completed this summer. 

The current sinking fund will expire at the end of 2026 unless a new request is made.  In 2017, Sinking Funds were not allowed for purchasing buses. 

 Sinking Fund rules have changed and these would now be an allowable use of funds. If you have any questions about the projects completed or planned for this summer or you would like to know more about Sinking Funds, please contact Superintendent Erfourth at 231-882-9653 or email at [email protected].

Battle of the Books - Betsie Valley Elementary

On Saturday,  4th & 5th grade students from Betsie Valley Elementary participated in the National Writers Series Battle of the Books event.

 The "Cosmic Cows" and the "Magically Mad Meerkats" read 8 books since January and tested their knowledge against other teams in northern Michigan creating skits, designing Coat of Arms posters, and answering quiz questions. 

These intellectual warriors were amazing!

Coached by Mr. Wassa, Mrs. Gee, and Miss Marshall, these 11 students were also provided the opportunity to listen to and meet one of the authors of the book "Finding Gobi". 

The "Cosmic Cows" even walked away with a Sportsmanship Award. Fantastic representation of intellect and fun! 

Great job, readers!
