It would be great to have as many supporters as possible. It should be well attended and a dynamic debate, if the comments from The News Herald are any indication.

Visited the Flat Rock Ram Boosters

August 18, 2009 By Bill Rice

Flat Rock High SchoolI stopped in on the Flat Rock Ram Boosters on Monday night. What a great group of folks!

This group of current high-school parents and long-time supporters of Flat Rock athletics run a full agenda. They are busy preparing for the kick-off of the new school year and fall sports. Needless to say, they need a lot of help. Unfortunately, this is not unique to the Ram Boosters. There are always too few people (often the same people from group to group) doing too much of the heavy lifting.

Really it only takes a little bit of time to give back for all the enjoyment you and your kids get back from these organizations.

One of the areas where they need some extra help is in running the concessions. This is really a simple job, but takes several people. Have you ever enjoyed a hot dog (or two) at a Flat Rock football game? How about asking how you can help?

I encourage you to stop by the next Ram Booster meeting on September 21, 2009 at 7:00 p.m. in the Flat Rock High School media center. You don’t have to be a student athletes’ parent, just a fan.

Also, as you are out and about Flat Rock I would encourage you to thank a few of the people I had the chance to meet and do so much for all the athletic programs in Flat Rock:

  • Jeff Metz
  • Chuck Slavin
  • Don Shannon (the man to talk to about helping with concessions)
  • Gail Potratz
  • Dawn Guyot
  • Eric Painter

I am sure there are more and I look forward to meeting more of you as I pitch in too. Oh, and by the way don’t miss these varsity home openers:

  • 8/28 – Flat Rock Boys Soccer v. Airport – 4:30 p.m.
  • 9/11 – Flat Rock Boys Football v. CC – 7:00 p.m.
  • 9/14 – Flat Rock Girls Volleyball v. Huron – 6:00 p.m.

Go Flat Rock Rams!

Bill Rice is Running for Flat Rock School Board

August 17, 2009 By Bill Rice

DSC_4676Thanks for coming by and visiting!

We are just getting started here, but you can expect a lot from this site in the next few months and beyond. One of my main goals in running for the School Board is to demonstrate how hard I am willing to work for you, our community, and most importantly our children. That means meeting as many of you as possible, asking lots of questions, listening to your expectations and hopes.

So, what’s in store for this website and how will it benefit you?

Of course, I am going to give you tons of information on what being a member of the Board of Education means to me. However, I want to go beyond that typical political rhetoric. I am also going to use this website as a way to take you on a guided tour of all the great things the Flat Rock education system has to offer our students and the community. I want you to walk with me as I engage with the people, groups, and administration that make Flat Rock an exceptional place to educate your kids.

Will you join me? Think of this website as more than a Board of Education candidate’s site. Use it as a resource, a place for discussion, a way to improve communication, and a quick way to find out how to contact me when you have a question.
