Students with better than a C average from Forest Hills Northern Middle School are spendng some time today at The Three Mile Project.

According to The Three mile Project in Walker, it is a community youth center designed to provide young people a safe, exciting, and welcoming place to build community, invest time, and be treated with respect and love.    For the Forest Hills students, this is their second academic award event at Three Mile.

Wellspring Preparatory High School and Grand River Preparatory High School are helping prepare middle school students for high school with its Step Up events. During these events, students from middle schools around the area will be invited to visit the high schools and walk through what a typical high school day would be like.

“This is a great program to help our middle school students understand what high school looks like and feels like before reality hits,” said Koree Woodward principal at Wellspring Preparatory High School. “It takes out some of the scary unknowns of high school and helps to create excitement and engagement with our middle school students.”
