This Week’s Trivia Question: After a long absence, what sport will return to East Grand Rapids High School this spring (as long as they get enough players)? (No Googling! First to email Jay Forstner the right answer gets an EGRSF merch prize). Last week’s question was, “One year after the Revolutionary War ended, what animal did Benjamin Franklin suggest would have been a better choice for the United States’ national symbol than the bald eagle?” The answer was the turkey. Brian Woodruff was our winner.

Have a great week! You + the Foundation make our schools even better together. Thank you!
