Congratulations to Junior Ariella Siembor for being selected to co-host the annual West Michigan Business Hall of Fame event sponsored by Junior Achievement of the Michigan Great Lakes on Monday night! 🎤

As an emcee on stage, she helped keep the program moving along according to script, something she said she’s very comfortable doing as a theater student.

Siembor, who took the Jenison CTE entrepreneurship class last year, also got to network with hundreds of West Michigan residents and highlight her award-winning business, Charmade.

Way to represent Jenison well on the big stage, Ariella!

Under the supervision of their teacher, they made observations, went down slides, made small jumps, and threw piles of leaves into the air. Then they took notes about it all to discuss in the classroom. Awesome work Sandy Hill third graders!

Congratulations to Carter Cooke for being picked as the MLive top junior for boys cross country in the Grand Rapids area! Cooke collected 3,497 votes, which was good for 78 percent of the total votes cast. MLive had great things to say about him in the article introducing all the candidates:

“Another member of Jenison’s talented junior class, Cooke has shown consistent improvement this fall, opening the season with a 17:14.3, then logging a personal-best time of 15:33.9 at last week’s Otsego Bulldog Invitational. That time currently ranks 24th in Division 1, putting him on track to earn an all-state medal later this year.”

Way to go, Carter, and keep up the great work!

Students stretched with Fit Body Boot Camp staff members before walking to Maplewood Park to play games and invade the playground. Then they returned to school to run across a finish line full of bubbles and silly string. We loved all the smiles and connections being made among students. Great work Bauerwood!

The school’s 3rd–6th grade students then get to choose from those sessions hosted by teachers and staff. Members of the Jenison Volleyball program even assisted as well at the volleyball session. 🏐

Great idea Bursley! 💯

Wilderness Academy recently hosted a successful Pollinator Garden Tribute Night, bringing together students, families, and community stakeholders to celebrate learning and environmental stewardship.

The evening kicked off with an engaging presentation from Dave Zimmerman, President of the Grand Rapids Bee Club, who shared insights into the vital role bees play in the local ecosystem. Following the presentation, attendees rotated through interactive activity stations, which included terracotta pot painting, filling hydration stations for pollinators, and practicing pollination techniques.

The event concluded with a special dedication ceremony featuring speeches and the official unveiling of Wilderness Academy’s new interpretive sign, which explains how their pollinator garden functions as a thriving ecosystem for diverse organisms including student illustrations. Wilderness Academy extended its gratitude to all the stakeholders and community members whose participation made the evening so memorable.

Go Wilderness Academy!
