Thank you, Vicksburg Community, for demonstrating your strong support of our schools in the May 6 school election.
Vicksburg’s Non-Homestead Operating Millage was renewed by almost a 2:1 margin, which will allow us to continue to collect the full minimum State Foundation Allowance.
In addition, incumbents Skip Knowles and Carol Lohman were returned to the School Board.
The majority (57%) of Kalamazoo County voters agreed to renew the KRESA County Enhancement Millage for three years. The District will utilize the proceeds for necessary capital expenditure (roofs, parking lots, technology, repairs and renovations, and traffic flow improvements which cannot otherwise be afforded.
Our hats are off to our voters, and our commitment to you is continued excellence and fiscal integrity.

Auction Fundraiser
Attention all parents of the GREAT KIDS at INDIAN LAKE SCHOOL!!!
The talent that radiates from our kids is a direct reflection of the talented parents they have.
The Indian Lake PTSO is embarking on what we are hoping will be one of our biggest fundraisers EVER, the 2008 Spring Auction. In order for this event to be a HUGE success we are seeking the many talents of our parents at Indian Lake.
ON Thursday January 17th at 6:30pm in the Indian Lake Library we will be having a meeting about the auction. This meeting will give you a chance to sign yourself up for one or more of the committees that will help this auction run smoothly. Also, you will be able to ask any questions you may have about the Auction Fundraiser.
