The 2nd-5th grades at Allendale Public participated in the Global Giving Project before the holiday break. Through the generosity of these students, they were able to raise over $2900 to sponsor 10 students for their entire school year at Kito Pre and Primary Technology Academy in Tanzania (www.touchfamilies.org ).
We are so proud of their willingness to think outside of themselves to make a difference in the lives of these deserving children! The founder of the school, Andrea Kitomary, was extremely grateful and expressed that this truly is the school’s lifeline. Without this donation, the school would not be able to afford to continue educating the students that are financially unable to pay the school fees. Allendale students and staff are amazing!!
Thank you so much for supporting this project.
BASTIEN IS TAKING HIS TALENTS SOUTH
Allendale student to play baseball for the 2013 NJCAA National Champions
Allendale senior Trevor Bastien will continue his baseball career next year at Central Alabama
Community College. Central Alabama C.C. is a top junior college baseball program in the
country, winning the 2013 NJCAA baseball national championship.
Trevor is a three time all-conference, and all-district, infielder heading into his final season with
the Falcons. Last season he was recognized as all-region and first team all-area. He’s currently
participating on the varsity basketball team, for the third consecutive year, and was a two time
all-conference honorable mention football player.
Trevor not only excelled on the field, but off as well. He is on track to graduate with greater
than a 3.8 GPA. Trevor took time out of his busy schedule to read to elementary students
during fall football season, mentor younger students by conducting hitting lessons during the
summer, and is a greeter at his church.
Trevor says he is excited to take this next step in his playing career. He’s looking forward to playing for head coach Steve Lewis and helping the program achieve it’s goal of another national championship. It’s always been a dream of Trevor’s to play baseball down south, facing some of the best competition in America while enjoying the warmer weather. He is undecided
on a major, but hopes to connect his love of sports with the business world.

Nothing brightens my day quite like a great story. When it's well-written and captivating, a story has the ability to pull the reader in and shut out the noise of the world.
I believe that is true about our stories--the ones coming from inside the hallways and classrooms of Allendale Public Schools. We have stories to tell that are worthy of being told; that deserve more than our passing glance.
That's what this blog is for.
