Our 9th-11th grade All A students were rewarded last week for their academic success with a day at Craig's Cruisers in Grand Rapids.

Students enjoyed the zipline ride, raced one another in go-karts, played mini-golf, and ate at the unlimited buffet. Nearly thirty students were invited to attend the trip this year!

Congratulations to these students who put in the work needed to achieve All A's!
