As the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, enjoy an adventure, friendship, laughter, campfires, waterfront fun, and nature. Here's to long summer days, star-filled nights, and the warmth of summer!

🍽️ Clean your plate: Michigan’s K-12 schools, which dole out millions of meals each day, generate 17,000 tons of food waste each year. Most of that winds up in landfills, where it takes up space and produces greenhouse gases. But a growing number of schools are launching composting programs that curb waste while teaching students sustainability.
