Johannesburg-Lewiston Area Schools

Congratulations to Nikki Clark whose composition and performance of her poem, "Prom Night", was awarded the Sonnemann Audience Prize at the Traverse City District Area Library's annual Poets' Night Out event. Nikki's poem is now published in the event's anthology and in circulation in the TDAL's library collection. Way to go, Nikki!

On Sunday, the JLHS Writers' Club traveled to Traverse City for its annual trip. Funded by bake sale profits, they enjoyed dinner and a quick beach visit, before attending Poets' Night Out at Kirkbride Hall, where they celebrated Nikki Clark's winning poem and performance and connected with writers from Northern Michigan and the UP.

What an amazing night for families who participated in our STEM night! Thank you to Cardinal Club staff and Mrs. Speerstra our Literacy Leader, and families for such a magical night!

TODAY IS THE DAY.

On Monday, April 20th, our middle school track team competed with something greater than just the finish line in mind, they ran in honor and loving memory of Brittanie Hamlin.

Don't Forget!!!!

Today we recognize these amazing ladies for all they do for our staff, students and parents. In honor of Administrative Professionals Day we thank you Mrs. Van Coillie and Mrs. Husted!

Lewiston Elementary and Johannesburg Elementary students came together to experience a theatrical show by Bright Star Traveling Theater. Thank you to our Cardinal Club staff and the MiLeap grant for making this event happen!

Don't forget to mark your calendars.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Montmorency Public Library. Our students at Lewiston Cardinal Club thoroughly enjoyed the recent story and activity session. We truly appreciate your monthly visits to our after-school program and the wonderful engagement you provide.

6th grade Science students finished out their unit on Physical and Chemical Changes by making butter! It was a lot of fun and tasted pretty good too!

🌟 Tonight, in a heartfelt tribute to Brittanie Hamlin, who bravely fought adrenal cancer, the JL Softball Team wore vibrant green ribbons in their hair. Our thoughts and love are with the Hamlin Family during this difficult time. Fly high, Brittanie! 💚💗
