Thu, 10/31/2013 - 12:30pm Anonymous

St. Michael School in Albion is celebrating an addition that includes two classrooms, storage space and an upgraded home for the music and band program.

In a vote of the 132 students, the addition begun in May and finished just two days before school started in August has been dubbed "Angels Wing." The extra space is needed in part because the school has its largest fourth-grade class - 19 students - in at least 10 years, said Lisa Schumacher, principal.

November begins year-long emphasis of understanding death, dying and rites

Thu, 10/31/2013 - 12:30pm Anonymous
