This Week’s Trivia Question: What was the name of the East Grand Rapids newspaper our Community Service Award honoree Susan Lovell co-founded? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets a mention in next week’s Cheat Sheet). The answer to last week’s question was John F. Kennedy. Barbara Cone was the first to get the right answer.

Have a great week! Together, we’re investing in our students, because the future belongs to Pioneers.
