During the 2022/23 school year, the PHS Cheer team had such a great competitive season that they qualified to attend the Beast Elite by Champion Cheerleading Summer Camp at Alma College. Last week, they attended the camp and the team practiced and learned amongst the top teams in the state of Michigan at a three day camp. The team practiced from sun up to sun down, attended seminars on growth mindset/team culture, learned new stunts/cheers and performed a routine on the final day. It was an awesome opportunity for the Trojan Cheerleaders - we are so proud of the hard work they put in during this long week.
To end the week, one of our seniors, Jillian Comer, received an Alma/cheer scholarship along with four other girls out of the 15 teams in attendance. Way to go, Jillian! Trojan Pride!

Helping Families with Medicaid Keep Their Coverage -
During the federal COVID-19 public health emergency, many changes were made to the Medicaid program's eligibility, administration, and policies to ease rules for providers and prevent Medicaid beneficiaries from losing health care coverage. Per recent federal legislation, Michigan will restart Medicaid eligibility renewals in June, and amend certain waived policies that were in place during the pandemic.
The Michigan Department of Education has been asked to share with local school districts urgent information for them to send to families. Districts are being asked to send the #StayCovered information sheet to families, as well as the message for Medicaid redetermination through an email.
More information can be found at MDHHS website: www.michigan.gov/2023BenefitChanges
or on the
DIFS website:
