PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Parents and Guardians,
I would like to thank to all who attended our recent Parent-Teacher Conferences. Your involvement in your child's education is invaluable, and we truly appreciate the time and effort you took to meet with our teachers.
These conferences are a crucial part of ensuring that every student has the support and resources they need to succeed. By working together, we can continue to create a positive and nurturing environment where our students can thrive.
Thank you once again for your dedication to your child's growth and for being such an integral part of our school community. We look forward to continuing to partner with you throughout the year.
Reminder, School is closed March 24 - March 31 for Spring Break.
Sincerely,
Chris Reeve

MIDDLE SCHOOL HONOR BAND
On March 11th, four Suttons Bay Middle School band students participated in Middle School Honor Band at Kalkaska High School. Throughout the day, the students rehearsed alongside 120 other dedicated middle school band students from across Northern Michigan. In the evening, they performed a full concert for their family and friends. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and accomplishments.

We are extremely fortunate to have some of the best in the region right here in Suttons Bay!
