This is our final week of Schoolship Programs for the 2012 season (our 24th). On Monday we hosted North Central Academy (Mancelona) and Prevail Academy (Mt. Clemens). Both of these schools were provided with full tuition scholarships with funds granted to ISEA from the Herbert and Grace Dow Foundation. The Edmund & Virginia Ball Foundation provided matching scholarships to these and 22 other classes this fall. The matching scholarships allow us to keep school fees low (about 1/3 of the actual cost).

Kalkaska Middle School brought three classes this week, and a forth was scheduled this Friday (today) but it was moved to Monday Oct. 9 due to gale winds being forecast for today. The Oct. 9 class with Kalkaska will be our final program of the year.
