Watersmeet classes back in session.

WATERSMEET – Wednesday was the first full day of school this year at the Watersmeet K-12 school.  Students have the choice of in person and distance learning.  About 100 kids attended in person classes with about 50 kids or their parents are opting for distance learning models.    The Watersmeet Township School District has invested in personal protective equipment, as well as a variety of cleaning supplies.  Students and Teachers this year have been outfitted with new Chromebooks. They are the result of about $640,000 in grant funding secured by the Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians.  About 65% of Watersmeet students are from the tribe. The school even offers a Native American Studies class to students.
