The free public service announcements will be used to help city officials finalize plans for Sterlingfest Homecoming 2001 on Aug. 2-4 at Dodge Park and the City Commons. As part of the festival, city officials are reserving space for reunions of Sterling Heights' three high schools, Stevenson, Henry Ford II and Sterling Heights High School. The Midwest Scholastic Rowing Championship Regatta is scheduled for May 12-13 and will feature more than 40 high school teams from across the Midwest. Qualifying heats will take place on Saturday with the final races held on Sunday. On May 26, the 3rd Annual Michigan High School and Junior Rowing Championship Regatta will be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the park.
All events are free and open to the public.
The students were chosen based on their leadership skills, accepting responsibility, motivating others and initiating action. The community auditorium is on 15 Mile, east of Little Mack in Clinton Township. Students also will create a quilt to take back to their schools for display.
