12. PROCLAMATION:  MICHIGAN SAFE SCHOOLS WEEK - OCTOBER 15-21, 2023
Providing a safe and secure school environment for our students is of the utmost importance for all Michigan schools. Students learn best and are most likely to achieve their full potential in safe and orderly classrooms. The safest schools are those in which the school climate reflects and promotes values of trust, respect, appreciation for diversity, and open channels of communication between staff and students. The Michigan Safe Schools Week (October 15-21) is a week-long campaign to raise awareness on effective ways to prevent or reduce violence in our schools.

13. PROCLAMATION:  PRINCIPALS' MONTH - OCTOBER 2023
The Michigan State Board of Education and Michigan Elementary and Middle School Principals Association (MEMSPA) have proclaimed the month of October 2023 as Michigan School Principals' Month. This dedicated group of educators richly deserves recognition for their commitment to the education of ALL Michigan children. We are proud to recognize our Principals for their devotion to student achievement and dedication to overseeing the countless facets of education for our Walled Lake Schools children.
