“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
