Schools prepare for National Walk Our Children to School Day, the library hosts Haley, the helper dog, and today's weather offers a beautiful high of 71 degrees.
Mother Nature has a glorious day planned for us, according to the National Weather Service. It will be mostly sunny, with a high near 71 degrees, and will only drop to 47 degrees at night. Wednesday is National Walk Our Children to School Day and local elementary schools are asking parents to do their part by leaving the car at home and walking their children to campus to promote health, fitness and safe routes to school. October is National Everything month–or so it seems. In addition to it being National Pizza Month, National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Eat Country Ham Month, the Chippewa Valley school board is also recognizing it as Red Ribbon Month. Red Ribbon Month raises awareness of youth drug and alcohol use and supports …

Today is why we love Michigan. Even though the first day of fall was last week, we'll still see a high near 64 degrees with partly sunny skies.

A new fitness option moves into Macomb, local Cub Scout packs increase recruiting efforts and Macomb receives its own piece of the DIA–it's all in today's news.
Only a slight chance of showers this morning, with partly sunny skies and a high near 66 degrees.

Lutheran North experiences a real "High School Musical," voters are asked to approve new millage for education and the Your Patch of Michigan Photo Contest comes to an end in today's news.
With a little luck, we'll miss the rain today, for there's only a 40 percent chance of showers after 8 a.m. The National Weather Service is predicting areas of fog before 8 a.m., but otherwise, partly sunny skies, with a high near 70 degrees. It will be mostly cloudy in the evening, with a low around 54 degrees. When the directors at Lutheran North selected Disney's High School Musical as the school's fall production, they never thought the story behind the show would become a reality for the cast. Nov. 8 may be more than a month away, but voters should start thinking now whether they are open to the 1.2 mill property tax proposal on the ballot. This millage would fund programs for special education students in Macomb County. Check out …

We're starting off this week's Patch news with a feature on the youth ministry at St. Peter Lutheran, a roundup of fall-themed events and, as always, a handy weather report.
The National Weather Service is predicting showers and possibly a thunderstorm during the day, with the chance of showers continuing into the evening. Temperature wise, we'll see a high near 69 degrees and low around 52 degrees. While many churches are seeing fewer young people take active roles, St. Peter Lutheran's youth ministry is thriving.

It's all about the fall fun this week, with special events at Deneweth's, Wolcott Mill and the Crocker House Museum. Check out Happening This Week for more information.

It's Friday, which means football! If you're not a pigskin fan, no worries, we have lots of other stories for you to enjoy as you head into the weekend.
If you're a betting person, and are willing to believe the National Weather Service's forecast for today, you can expect rain, cloudy skies and a high near 62 degrees. Tonight's low will be around 49 degrees. L'Anse Creuse North goes up against district rival L'Anse Creuse High School at 7 p.m. at North stadium. The Crusaders are 0-4 this season and the Lancers 1-3. It should be quite a battle. Dakota plays at Stevenson also at 7 p.m. We'll have photos of both games, so check back! Rotary clubs are partnering with networking website Stik.com to raise "Pennies for Polio." The catch? You don't have to donate a dime of your own money. For each recommendation and review you make on Stik.com (which is a free site), the site will donate its own …

Where did the week go? Catch up on the news you might have missed with Macomb Patch.
There's a 20 percent chance of showers today, although it should be partly sunny through most of the day. We'll see a high near 67 degrees and a low around 48 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The chance of showers continues into the evening, so it's not a bad idea to have an umbrella handy. Chippewa Valley High School journalism teacher, John Spreitzer, passed away suddenly Tuesday. Big Reds from past and present pay tribute to this much beloved teacher on Patch. The 69-year-old Macomb Township woman who was brutally stabbed during a home invasion in February died Tuesday. Joann Eisenhardt was stabbed twice in the neck by her attacker before the latter fled the scene. Suspect Joseph T. Reiner will now face a felony …

Plans for the upcoming Party in the Park, freebie deals you can access through Facebook and a mix of school news, weather and the German language (because we can).
We may see areas of fog before 8 a.m. and there's a chance of showers, with thunderstorms possible after 2 p.m. Otherwise, it will be partly sunny, with a high near 75 degrees. Showers and thunderstorms could creep in during the evening hours, leading to mostly cloudy skies, with a low around 53 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. This Week's Deals to Save Macomb Moola is all about savings with social media. By "liking" businesses such as AMC, Old Navy, CVS and Wendy's, you'll receive coupons for free food and discounted clothes. Should Chippewa Valley name facilities such as libraries and gyms after past school employees or community members? That question divided the school board this week and has yet to be decided. …
