FERNDALE Many school districts in Michigan had to make a decision by March 22 whether or not to offer a full-time, in-person option for students.
Earlier in March, the Michigan Legislature passed a bill later signed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer that offered federal dollars to school districts that provided 20 hours of in-person instruction each week.
Ferndale Public Schools recently began offering a hybrid model for students who wished to have some in-person instruction, in addition to virtual instruction. Students at Ferndale’s Early Childhood Center, Lower Elementary and Upper Elementary schools were allowed to return March 1; children at Ferndale Middle School were allowed back March 8; and students at Ferndale High School, University High School and the Tri-County Education Center could return March 15.

Six years ago, when a full moon rose over the fields of Madison, Alabama, a fifth grade student watched it glow from her bedroom window. It was so beautiful, hanging there in the heavens. She took out her notebook, picked up her pen, and wrote down her thoughts.
Those thoughts became a poem, an award-winning one. “Celestial Grace” won first place in the 2015 Huntsville Literary Association’s Young Writers Contest, Upper Elementary Poetry Division.
Aparna Bhooshanan went from being a hesitant writer to a confident one. Along with the other winners that year, her poem was published in the Awards Ceremony booklet and broadcast on WLRH public radio. She also won a cash prize. In the years since, Aparna has won a third place prize as well as an honorable mention.
