If you don't have your plans set for this weekend, how about some entertainment while supporting the arts? The LMS Drama Club will be performing live this Friday and Saturday evening at 6:30. Come on out and see what they've cooked up for us. We'll see you there!


This Teacher Appreciation Week, we continue to support the best of the best here in Van Dyke Public Schools. Our staff is always #1! We'd also like to shout out some of our external partners who have been dropping off goodies for our top-notch educators. Thank you to John Gingrich's Meemic Insurance Agency for the goodie bags, GLP Associates for the pizza, and WeldAloy Specialty Forgings for the donuts. These unexpected treats really do help us get through the week!

Good morning. Please see below for information regarding early release at Lincoln High School today. We'll see you tomorrow!

Congratulations to Makenzie Jones, LHS Senior. After two years in our CTE Courses, Makenzie is CPR, OSHA, and ICE( NELDA) certified. A week after passing her NELDA, She was offered and accepted a position at Superior Orthodontics as an ortho assistant and will start this summer. Way to go, Ms. Jones! It's always a great day to be an Abe.


Also a few weeks ago, our community came out to support our Varsity Boys' Basketball Team, who made history as the first time Back to Back State Champions in Division 2. What a great day that was! We had a parade, some autograph signings, face painting, food trucks, laughter and love, dignitaries, and even three college signings. Our Abes and the VDPS community know how to come together and show up for each other.

Here's another awesome celebration of students and staff, and you've still got time to check this one out: Ms. Dutton's LHS Artists kicked off the 24th Annual Consortium Art Show at the Extra Credit Union on the 16th, which will be on display for another week or so. You can see a sneak peek of some of our entries here, including Amber Keen's Best in Show and pieces from Javaire Malone, Malaysia Franklin, Natasha Dorsey, Gabrielle Dorsey, London Rosier, Nearah Reeves, Jevelle Franklin, and many others. Don't miss your opportunity to see the professional display at 6611 Chicago Road!
