Celebrations

  • Many donations of canned food were made last week and now we are preparing the items for pick up. Thank you for your support of our community.

  • Thank you Mrs. Palmateer and Mrs. Kamendat for putting together the Christmas Light Run on Friday evening! It was wonderful to see students and their families enjoying the beautiful weather for a run or walk in holiday swag. We are grateful for our PTA Executive Board and middle school NHS students and Saint Clair County Land Sharks that volunteered to make sure everything ran smoothly. Mr. Kamendat was also a key figure as he made sure the inflatable arch went up and stayed anchored to the ground. This event was the culmination of strategic minds coming together to fulfill a void for our students and community.

Parking

  • The front parking lot has 6 signs that indicate they are reserved for specific students and their parents. These spots were earned by these students by raising funds during the Husky Hustle. Please refrain from parking in these spots unless you are the parent of the student on the sign. 

Husky Hustle Update

  • Thank you to all the businesses that supported Keewahdin Husky Hustle '23-'24.  

  • Please consider patronizing these local businesses.
