Shelagh Fehrenbach:

While Shelagh Fehrenbach may be the new K-12 principal at Leland Public School this year, it’s hardly her first time on campus. The 2005 alumnus is back at her alma mater almost 20 years later after graduating, ready to serve in a district that she says feels a lot like “coming home.” “I keep saying it feels like I’m working in a magical time machine; the new building is bright and beautiful and I love being in it, even though I still need a tour guide for some of the entrances and exits,” Fehrenbach said. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM

LEELANAU HISTORY

LEELANAU HISTORY

Enrollment has a totally different significance for local educators in a Post- Proposal A world. And a recent trend with schools graduating more seniors than they welcome in kindergarten has some school district leaders concerned. An estimated 1,678 students are expected by leaders in the county’s four K-12 districts, down about 2% from this time last year and 6.9 percent lower than 2016. *** Carl Noonan wasn’t sure what he would see working at Grumpy’s Market on Sunday. Sunday was the inaugural Ironman 70.3 Traverse City Triathlon. Two of the three events, the swim and running race, were held in Traverse City. But, the 56-mile bicycle course ran through Traverse City, Grand Traverse, Benzie and Leelanau counties. It used both Cedar Run Road and M-72, the major east-west routes used by Leelanau County citizens to get into and out of Traverse City and parts south. 08/28/2024 10:35 PM
