A Lapeer East graduate and Woodchips BBQ owner Patrick Hingst, paid off lunch balances for Lapeer Community school students. How awesome is that? The exact amount really doesn t matter ($1300+). What matters is Hingst stepped up, and that speaks volumes. Lapeer County schools had this to say about the generous gesture,
“It was a random of act of kindness from Patrick Hingst. Patrick has been the owner of one of our great downtown restaurants for many years. Patrick has done so many random acts of kindness in our community, they are hardly random anymore. We are truly grateful for his generosity and we hope this inspires others to pay it forward during this very challenging time.”
Lapeer High School Returns to All Remote Learning After Outbreak
Students at Lapeer High School are now back to remote learning starting today.
As of today, all of the students at Lapeer High School will be learning from home for the next two weeks. In the last two weeks, the high school has reported 18 new cases of COVID-19. The new cases resulted in more than 200 students and staff having to quarantine. Because of this, the school is having difficulty keeping the building adequately staffed.
The District has made the decision to return to our remote learning plan for students in grades 10-12. This period of remote instruction will be for two weeks, from February 3 through February 16. Our plan is to return to face-to-face instruction on February 17. We will evaluate the status of our return consistently during this period.said Lapeer Community Schools Superintendent Matt Wandrie in a letter to the parents.
