The 2024 graduating class at Suttons Bay Public School are set to move forward with their upcoming overnight senior class trip to Mackinac Island from May 20-22 after the board of education approved a request on Monday night.
Ashley Shimek, Suttons Bay middle and virtual school principal, said this will be the first senior trip for students in the district in many years. The 36 seniors decided that they wanted to go to Mackinac Island this year, Shimek explained, and are hoping to keep costs at no more than $100 per student. Students will stay at the Harbour View Inn while on the island, and have opportunities to learn about the history and to experience some of the outdoor recreational activities offered around the area.
“They (students) will also have an opportunity to kind of roam around and do their own thing,” Shimek said at Monday’s school board meeting.
