FUN FEEL GOOD FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT

FUN FEEL GOOD FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT (the world needs more of them for sure!)

Our Benzie Central JV Volleyball Coach, Sarah Anderson shares this on behalf of the program:

"I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for Benzie Central Bus Driver, Jim Catts.

He has taken our volleyball team to a few games and tournaments throughout the season and has become a team favorite.

He goes out of his way to greet the students. He brings them snacks and drinks for the bus ride and encourages them to take it into the games.

He expresses regularly how much he cares about the athletes.

His affection is so genuine, it’s a breath of fresh air!

Last night he made a point of offering words of encouragement to me, a discouraged coach, on the way home. It moved me to tears.

He is intentional and is always going above his responsibilities and he deserves attention and gratitude.

He is making such a positive difference and influence when doing more than “just the job” and his impact truly matters!"

From all of us at Benzie Central...Thank you, Jim! You are definitely a "Feel Good Friday" kind of guy!

Juniors visit Ferris State University

In October every year, the Benzie Sunrise Rotary coordinates a college visit for Benzie Central & Benzie Academy 11th grade students. 

This year's trip was to Ferris State College where they heard a talk on financing their education, toured key sites on the campus, and spent an hour in a program area of interest. 

The purpose of this experience is for students to see college as an achievable path for them after high school graduation.
