Congratulations x 3

    A big congratulations to the residents of North York Street for showing massive support for the 3,000 walkers who trudged through our neighborhood in the grueling Sunday afternoon heat. Dozens of neighbors on York between Ford Road and Doxtator decorated their homes and yards to greet the walkers, and provided refreshments a misting station and lots of cheering. The organizers called our block one of the best in the entire 60-mile walk. Everyone who pitched in should be proud.
  Congratulations also goes out to the teachers, staff and students of our very own Howard Elementary School. Recently, all Michigan Public Schools were ranked and rated for student performance. Many schools in our district didn't fare well, but Howard ranked in the 99.5 percentile statewide. No wonder kids from across the city flock to our school. Great job.
   Also, a big congratulations to one of our favorite neighbors, Kat Hans. If you live here, you've no doubt seen Kat walking her dogs almost every single day through our neighborhood. Kat welcomed her son Victor into the world Saturday morning. Mom and baby are doing fine and should be coming home soon.
