Her efforts are a powerful reminder of how one person's vision can inspire collective action and create lasting positive change. The kids are already devouring the new reads, and the library is buzzing with excitement.
Finally, a big round of applause for the Petoskey High School Robotics Club for their outstanding performance at the regional competition. These bright young minds demonstrated exceptional skill, teamwork, and ingenuity. Their dedication to STEM education is paving the way for future innovation. They not only competed but also showcased incredible sportsmanship, earning praise from judges and fellow competitors alike.
