Twenty-four Wilson Talent Center seniors were awarded nearly $18,000 in scholarships at the Wall-of-Fame & Awards Dinner held March 20, 2024. The scholarships are made possible by generous donations from business and industry partners as well as families who are honoring someone who has benefitted from their own career and technical education experience. The staff and students thank all of the donors for assisting these recipients in their next steps in life. #InghamImpact

Earlier this month, the students participating in Spartan Project SEARCH learned about their final internship rotations after completing their interviews. Until the end of the school year, these students will acquire essential skills by working in various locations, including MSU Linen Services, Sparty's Café, the library, MSU Union and The Workshop, among others. This program provides participants with experiences across a range of settings, aligned with their interests, abilities and availability. #InghamImpact 

On Friday, March 15, Heartwood School was visited by Zot Artz, a Kalamazoo-based arts organization dedicated to providing art activities for children and adults with disabilities. The students engaged in creating a huge floor mural utilizing art rollers, pogo paint sticks and stamp designs. They also operated bubble blowers and a whirling art tool. These tools were also designed to attach to wheelchairs and walkers when needed. Fun was had by all and the finished product was amazing! #InghamImpact 

The students and staff at North Star School have been challenging each other to read more books during reading month. In fact, they are hoping to read 3,600 minutes collectively before April 8, 2024. The reading must be in addition to their regular classwork, and both students and staff can add a "book to the shelf" for every thirty minutes of reading they complete. At the end of the challenge, the winner will receive a special lunch. #InghamImpact #MarchisReadingMonth
