Southern Michigan’s epic snow day streak

Fifth snow day in a row—and a total of ten days off—has turned this winter into a mini-vacation for southern Michigan students. With a massive storm stretching from Texas to New England, our area’s been hit with slippery roads and frigid temps that even salt can’t fix. Boston’s bracing for nearly two feet of snow, but here, the new inches keep piling up and the cold isn’t letting up. The National Weather Service’s Cold Weather Advisory means we’re not out of the woods yet. How are you all handling the extra days at home? #Education #MichiganWeather #SnowDay

Detroit’s Holy Redeemer: A neighborhood gem

Only five K-8 Catholic schools remain in central Detroit, and Holy Redeemer Catholic School is not just surviving—it’s thriving. Thanks to a passionate principal, Sister Kateri Burbee, and strong community support, the school has grown from 170 to 225 students in just a few years. Nearly every student receives financial help, making quality Catholic education accessible to local families. It’s more than a school—it’s a nearly 150-year-old community hub where neighbors, businesses, and donors pitch in to keep faith and learning alive.

What really happened at Campion Hall?

Turns out the rumors about an unhoused person living in Campion Hall weren’t true after all. The university cleared things up, explaining that the person seen in common areas was actually a guest of a student, not someone sneaking in or staying without permission. Campus police and Residence Life have already handled the situation, and it’s now part of the student conduct process. This is a good reminder for everyone: keep an eye on who you let in, and make sure your guests know the rules. How do you feel about guest policies and building security on campus? #Education #College #CampusLife
