Fun Run/Walk Fundraiser On May 1st and 2nd 2013 the St. Louis Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) organized a fundraiser for both Carrie Knause and Nikkari Elementary. For the first-annual Shark Run/Walk students collected community sponsors and pledges for laps they would run or walk on the day of the event. Following the race on May 1st (Nikkari) and May 2nd (Carrie Knause) students had raised over $8,300 in pledges! All profits will be used to purchase technology, resources, and field trips for elementary students. Everyone’s involvement was greatly appreciated and the PTO looks forward the working with the community in the upcoming school year. The PTO thanks the St. Louis community and the volunteers listed in the full article for their support of our students and schools. Also thank you to fifth grader, Kira Dowell, for submitting the winning design for the Run/Walk t-shirt.

Mrs. Beery ~ Distinguished Chemistry Teacher I want to share some very exciting news with the Shark family. Mrs. Sarah Beery has been named “A Distinguished Chemistry Teacher,” by the American Chemical Society, Midland, Michigan Branch. I had the privilege of joining Mrs. Beery at an Award and Recognition dinner on May 16th, in Mount Pleasant, where she was recognized for her excellence in the teaching of chemistry, and her consistent dedication to the rigor and expectation of science education leading to student success.  I also had the privilege to see the presentation Mrs. Beery helped to facilitate when her AP Chemistry students did a Bill Nye, the Science Guy, kind of show for the students at Nikkari Elementary School. Mrs. Beery continues to push her students to develop a solid knowledge, enthusiastic appreciation and willing sharing of their advanced understanding of Chemistry. As the principal of St. Louis High School, I want to thank Sarah Beery, again, for her dedication to the improving academic culture of our school. This recent honor bestowed upon her by the ACS was well deserved and additional evidence of the fact that we have great teachers in our school. I am thrilled to be able to work with this staff. I know the students of our school are the direct beneficiaries. Mrs. Beery is an important part of what we hope to bring to all students in hopes of meeting our mission and vision for all kids.
