On Friday, May 2, 2025, Glen Lake will join the Char-Em ISD region, along with the COPESD region, and Northwest Education Services region to show solidarity with the Charlevoix school community in the aftermath of the tragic accident that occurred with the boys’ varsity golf team on April 27. We want to show the Charlevoix community that the region stands with them as the students and coach recover from their injuries and work to overcome the emotional toll such an accident can have as well.
On May 2, please wear Rayder colors of maroon and white, Charlevoix school or community apparel, maroon ribbons, or other ways to show support for the district. Students and staff are encouraged to create posters and messages of support, and share photos of all activities with the hashtag, #RAYDERSTRONG. We want to flood social media with messages of support and encouragement to students, their families, the school district, and the community.
We are better together, please support.

A group of high school students check out the high school bulletin board of positive affirmations. Teachers and staff collaborated to creative positive messages for each student.


Check out this amazing interactive bulletin board created by Sarah Morgan! Each middle school staff member took the time to write meaningful, positive qualities about every student. The top layer features these thoughtful descriptions, and when you lift the flap, you reveal the student’s name. What a wonderful way to celebrate our students, boost their confidence, and foster a supportive community among peers!
