What a beautiful day on the Island for our High School Rewards trip! High School students that completed 5 classes in one trimester qualified for the trip to Mackinac Island.

They experienced the island via horse drawn carriage and on foot to explore the island, downtown and shops!

They enjoyed pizza and a beautiful boat ride back to the mainland.
Congrats to everyone who qualified for this amazing experience!
