“I want to create focus groups of students, teachers, parents and community members to get some more insight,” Keelean told The Sentinel earlier this month. “It’s important for me, coming in as an outsider to a district that is well established with things in place, to listen and learn about the great work that is going on in the district.”
Summer reading events added
The district recently announced additional dates for its pop-in reading event series taking place this summer. Each event invites students prekindergarten through third grade and their siblings to stop by for a literacy activity, a free book, sidewalk chalk and bubbles.

The nonprofit ODC Network has raised $250,000 toward the cost of the playscape.
ODC Network recently announced a July 19 goal of raising an additional $50,000 from the community to win a $50,000 matching grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
By the end of July, ODC hopes to begin building the WOW Nature Play Park, which will be primarily constructed from natural materials and feature natural play areas and green space in place of traditional playground equipment. It s always been in the back of our minds to do something at Window on the Waterfront, which doesn t have a playground, said the city s parks director Andy Kenyon.
