Help make the Jessica Starr splash park a reality
The family of the late Fox 2 Meteorologist and Walled Lake Central graduate, Jessica Starr is
proposing a beautiful new splash park, complete with rainbows, umbrellas and 3,200 feet of weather-themed fun to honor her legacy in Novi. She is the daughter of retired staff members: Bob Starr, Geisler; Lenore Hiscoe, Central and Carol Starr, Walled Lake El.
Carol said: "I just had this light bulb moment and thought, our grandkids love splash parks. Why not build a happy splash park?" You can donate at noviparksfoundation.org/jessica.
School Menu Adjustments - Nationwide Food Disruptions
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, we are seeing nationwide disruptions to manufacturing, supply and distribution channels. You may have experienced this yourself while shopping online or in stores. This disruption also impacts school meals, as we navigate obtaining certain foods and supplies. Students may notice that we’re serving menu items that were not previously available or listed on menus.
While this situation is out of our control and something that school districts all across the country are experiencing, we are doing our best every day to come up with solutions to these challenges. We will continue serving our students a variety of nutritious foods, our menus will continue to be updated here as we see changes. Everything we serve will continue to meet nutrition guidelines set by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). All schools that operate the National School Lunch Program and the School Breakfast Program must follow these guidelines. We will also continue to accommodate students with special dietary restrictions and allergies.
We remain committed to providing our students with the nutritious meals they need to grow and learn. We appreciate your patience and understanding. As a reminder, school meals are free for all students again this school year. If you have questions, please contact Julie Fortner, Food Services Supervisor at 248-956-3080.
