On Thursday, December, 4th, 2008, Middle School Choir students had the opportunity to sing at the Meijer Gardens Gala Event, “Christmas Trees From Around The World”.  

It was an extremely formal evening with many of Grand Rapids Celebrities present.  With over 700 people in attendance we were able to sing for and interact with, Matt Kirkwood, Andy Rent, Rick Viest  the “Green Thumb Guy,” Craig James,
Suzanne Geha, Lauren Stanton, Chris Paul, Kim Covington, Bill Steffen, Terri DeBoer, Linda Paige, George Lessens, Mary Eileen Lyons, Fred Meijer, and many more!

We have sung in this event for several years now and are proud to be the only Middle School

On Wednesday, December 3, Kenowa Hills High School National Honor Society members hosted Senior Citizen Day. Many grandparents and community members joined the 75 students for breakfast and fellowship.

Music was provided by the Kenowa Hills Jazz Band, a volunteer organization that meets after school. Following breakfast, senior guests were treated to special arts performances by the Kenowa Hills High School Orchestra, Kenowa Hills Dance Team, Kenowa Hills Competitive Cheer Team, and the Kenowa Hills Marching Knights.

This annual tradition continues to be a huge success and a great time was had by all. Thank you to all the grandparents and community seniors for braving the cold weather to join us!
