The elementary school was in lockdown for a short time Wednesday afternoon after school administrators were made aware that an unidentified man had entered the school.
Cheyenne Elementary was put into lockdown around 3:45 p.m. Wednesday after administrators learned a suspicious person had entered the school. Sheriff Anthony Wickersham said the individual was later identified as a parent who had entered the school through a side door, rather than the main entrance designated for visitors. “He knocked on the door but it was locked,” Wickersham said. “Apparently kids came to the door, he threatened them to let him in, which they did. The individual then came into the school, walked over to where his son’s classroom was and exited the school a short time later.” Wickersham said the parent was identified through security footage and taken into custody to be interviewed. As for possible charges, Wickersham …

Nikki Simons' second grade class at Cheyenne Elementary worked all year to raise $550 to support the work of the Humane Society of Macomb.
Some spare change from the playground, $5 for washing dad's car and the contents of several piggy banks totaled together helped Nikki Simons and her second-grade Cheyenne Elementary Superstars raise $550 for the Humane Society of Macomb. This year is the 18th that Simons and her class have collected "Coins for Critters." On May 31, having raised a total of $550, the class took a field trip to the Humane Society of Macomb in Shelby Township to meet and pet some of the "critters" who would benefit from their donations. For more information on how you as a community member can support the Humane Society, visit the organization's website.

Elementary-age children who are too young to shop for mom or dad alone rely on school Santa and Christmas shops organized by local PTOs to meet their retail needs.
Christmas shopping for friends and family is never easy. At age 8, it’s nearly impossible. With no money, no transportation and no way to intercept mom and dad’s letter to Santa, elementary-age children can be left in a lurch during the holiday shopping season. "I want to shop for everybody," said Bradley Szarejko, 8. Like many his age, the Cheyenne student knows who to buy for, but relies on the creativity and convenience of his parent-teacher organizations to get the job done. “The reason we have a Santa Shop at our school is to give the kids a way to shop for their family and friends all on their own,” said Tanya Wright, Ojibwa Elementary's Santa Shop chairperson. “I see the enjoyment and smiles on their faces as they are walking …

Unfortunately, the kid who let the parent in was probably afraid to not let them in. We teach our kids to respect adults and not defy (within reason). We never want to put our kids in danger, but be informed. The child was probably torn for what was the right thing to do. Raising kids to do the right thing and be able to know whats acceptable and not, or think quickly is hard enough as it is - … more ›
