The Performing Arts Committee wrote a grant requesting funds to upgrade the lighting system in the Marvin A. Frederickson Auditorium at Manistique High School. GLEE, band, drama, and elementary programs are just a few of the youth organizations that would benefit from these improvements. The Schoolcraft County Community Foundation dispersed the grant through the Kellogg Fund which is an endowment fund to be used exclusively for local nonprofits youth programming. Tanner Papple and Matt Clark present the check to Jeremy Connin (MAS Band) and Parker and Liz Birr (GLEE directors). Information about the Foundation and its scholarships and grants can be found online at www.schoolcraftcountycommunityfoundation.com.
