A big shout out goes to: Boy Scout Troop Leader Joe Garascia (former Scotch student) and Troop 308 of Walled Lake. Scotch staff and students would like to thank Joe and his troop for taking on the task of improving our front entranceway. The troop took the time to design and build 2 wooden benches, lined the entire front landscape with brick pavers, and re-shaped the walkway path through the front garden. What a warm welcome all of your efforts have created! Way to go Troop 308!! Please help us congratulate Kate Ten Eick, a 4th grade student in Mrs. Rigonis class, as the winner of the 2013-14 Scotch School Directory Artwork contest. We hope that you enjoy Kates artwork as it will be printed on the front cover of our directory! Way to go Kate! Thank you to those that supported our Skull Island Ticket Sales. We do not have any tickets left for the season. Enjoy your visit and thank you for your support!
