GRPS

After 2020 was a very deadly year in Grand Rapids with house fires, GRFD and GRPS have teamed up to try to curb the problem.

The bank was able to put art supplies in 7,000 students' reach on Thursday.

There are two Wednesdays in each school year that are important for school officials and determining the amount of funding they'll receive. The second important Wednesday is coming up.

GRPS realizes the need to make sure all students are able to pick up a free lunch, as for some, it's the only meal they may have access to during the day.

They say they'll be continually assessing all information regarding safety and could change to a hybrid or in-person model before the 9 weeks are up if it's safe to do so.

With kids out of school during the stay-at-home order, and now on summer break, some may not be getting the meals they need. Grand Rapids Public Schools has announced locations this summer where West Michigan kids can get free meals.

The meals are not limited to GRPS students.

The school plans to honor the class of 2020 with virtual ceremonies, June 3-5.

GRPS announced they had the best count day in 20 years, which will result in a $1.7 million increase to funding.

Health officials are asking residents to avoid evening activities, so GRPS is making some schedule changes.
