Move over Young Sheldon - Lilly Griswold is on her way! “Math every day!” cheered 9-year-old Lilly. “I just love math!” And she’s good at it - very good!

Students pass by a permanent display case in the main lobby at Page Elementary School every day, but few take time to understand what’s inside.

For 15 years, Thornapple Kellogg High School has invited the public to attend a school and community Veterans Day program. It was started largely by the efforts of John Loftus and later Charlie Pullen. Even though neither of those two men are with us anymore, the pride and tradition of the Veterans Day event remain, and it is a program they would almost certainly continue to be proud of today.

Remember the mystery board game Clue? Players had to figure out if it was Professor Plum who committed the murder in the library with a candlestick? Or maybe it was Col. Mustard in the kitchen with a rope?
