State Sen. Ruth Johnson, R-Holly, celebrated National Reading Month with an elementary school in Waterford this week. Throughout March, Johnson has been promoting the importance of reading at local schools by sharing a story with them, including a first- and second-grade class at Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School.

Our Lady of the Lakes senior Noah Robak was named a honorable mention to the Division 4 All-State team by the Associated Press.

Our Lady of the Lakes sixth grade students have been learning about ancient civilizations. This past week, they focused on the Roman Republic. They discovered Romans started building roads around 500 BC and created a large network of roads that had stone pillars marking miles, a predecessor of our modern road signs.  

Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic School students had the opportunity to compete against other students from Waterford schools in the Club Level finals of the Optimist International Oratorical Contest. Each presented a four-five minute speech to an audience at Waterford Township Hall that answered the question: “Is There a Fine Line Between Optimism and Reality?”

Our Advanced Placement Environmental Science students began their introduction to rocks and minerals last week through their lab entitled Common Uses of Rocks and Minerals. Students investigated 10 rocks and minerals by performing a variety of tests to determine hardness, color, streak, and other special properties.
