Happy holidays

by | Dec 2025 | Voices & Series

Welcome, December! After a congenial November, we are starting the month with some cold winter weather. Time for warm socks and sweaters, casseroles and soups, and some good books! Time to anticipate the Christmas season and time with family and friends.

Congratulations to Vicksburg and Schoolcraft football teams. Vicksburg football won its first-ever District and Regional Titles, and Schoolcraft won their conference, Distict, and Regional titles, and traveled to Ford Field. There is nothing like the hometown pride for our athletes and their coaches and families.

Visit the Village of Schoolcraft for the annual Christmas Walk, December 6, 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.
