The spring LeelaNews has been published and should be arriving in mailboxes soon. This edition of the LeelaNews has great articles about Life Skills Education, the recent visit by Joshua Davis and On Stage 4 Kids, plus updates on the Leelanow donor campaign and an update from our Admissions Department.

The Leelanau School is a unique place that gives its students special opportunities. Whether it’s studying biology on location at beautiful Glen Lake, or having English class on the beach, things happen at our school that are truly extraordinary. One of those things happened this past Friday, February 20. At a fabulous school assembly, the Leelanau community was treated to a performance by a new music education project called On Stage 4 Kids. This program brings some of the top musicians and songwriters in Michigan to elementary, middle, and high schools across the state. The goal of On Stage 4 Kids is to educate K-12 students about the songwriting, history, and culture of American music.
