Our National Honor Society (NHS) members recently came together for a hands-on service project making handmade blankets for Project Linus!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐬?
Project Linus is a non-profit organization inspired by the beloved Peanuts character who is never without his security blanket. Their mission is simple yet deeply meaningful: to provide love, security, warmth, and comfort to children in need through gifts of new, handmade blankets lovingly created by volunteer "blanketeers."

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐆𝐨?
Every blanket made goes directly to children in our local communities who are going through tough or stressful times, including:

Hospitals & Pediatric Care: Providing comfort to young patients undergoing treatment or recovering from illness.

Shelters & Social Services: Offering a soft, personal piece of warmth to children in transition or crisis.

First Responders & Disaster Relief: Giving trauma victims a tangible sense of safety when they need it most.

Service and community leadership are core pillars of NHS. Knowing that these fleece blankets will wrap a child in comfort when they need it most makes every knot worth it!

Thank you to all our NHS student members who donated their time, energy, and care to make this project a success.

How You Can Help:
Want to join in on giving back? You don't have to be a master crafter to make an impact! Visit Project Linus to find your local chapter, donate fleece or yarn, or learn how to make easy no-sew blankets at home.

Financial Aid 101 Night
Thank you to all the Class of 2027 families who joined us for last night's Financial Aid 101 meeting! We had an informative session covering state aid, local promise funding, and local scholarships.

Here are the key highlights from all 3 areas presented:
1. Michigan Dept. of Education & State Aid (Steve Do)

State & Federal Aid: Learn how to maximize aid options by filling out the FAFSA early (FAFSA is required for all state grants!).
Key Programs: Includes the Michigan Achievement Scholarship and Tuition Incentive Program (TIP).
Action Steps: Both students and parents should create an FSA ID and set up a MiSSG Portal account to track state awards.

2. Muskegon Area Promise (Lindsay Pulsipher)

Tuition & Fee Coverage: Provides funding for tuition and mandatory fees at Muskegon Community College or Baker College of Muskegon.
Stipend Support: Promise Scholars can earn up to $1,500/year ($500 per term) in attendance-based stipends.
Requirements: Residency within Muskegon Area ISD boundaries, qualifying high school GPA/class rank, annual FAFSA completion, and yearly Promise acceptance.

3. Community Foundation for Muskegon County Scholarships

One Easy Application: Access over $1 Million+ in local scholarship funds for trade certificates, 2-year degrees, or 4-year bachelor's degrees through one single application at muskegonfoundation.org/scholarships.
Promise Student Option: Great for students continuing to a 4-year university after completing their Promise credits!
Important Deadline: Application, transcripts, and FAFSA Submission Summary (FSS) are due by January 21. (Note: Be sure to use a personal email address, not a school email!)

Missed the meeting? The complete slideshow is available on our School Counseling website and in the student's Class of 2027 Google Classroom. Please reach out to the counseling office with any questions!

Parents, Guardians, and Graduates of the Class of 2026,

Yearbooks from last year are finally in and available for pickup! Please read the following instructions carefully:

1). If you have a younger student who is a sibling of a 2026 graduate, they will receive the Yearbook on Tuesday, 10/27 during WINN time. If they have a different last name, feel free to email me to make sure the book gets to the right student.

2). If you purchased a REGULAR Yearbook (with no personalizations), you or your parent/guardian can stop by the Student Services office and pick up a book during school hours from either Mrs. Winskas or Campbell.

NOTE: A friend or other family member can pick up your Yearbook, but I NEED confirmation from the graduate or their parent/guardian first. I will only give a student a book if I have that confirmation.

3). If you purchased a PERSONALIZED Yearbook, you must email me first so I can drop it off at the office. The front office workers will not have access to the personalized books unless you do this.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email Mr. Gautraud at [email protected].
