Zemmer Middle School construction update - March 2010

We've been back over to visit the ongoing construction work at the future Zemmer Middle School. Work is progressing on schedule for a fall 2010 opening. If you'd like to peek over our shoulder at the work go to the District photo gallery for a few more photos.

Mayfield second-grade students present Billy Goat Gruff play to residents of Suncrest

Students from Mrs. Nancy Lamphere's second-grade class at Mayfield brought their "Billy Goat Gruff Goes Calypso" play to the senior citizens at the Lapeer County Medical Care Facility or as everyone calls it, Suncrest.

The classic tale included some wonderful singing and dancing by the students in a "calypso" style.

Residents enjoyed the play and especially enjoyed the hugs that came after the play. To see a few more photos of the event go to the District photo gallery.
