Lake Fenton High School's Starfish Initiative holds its first public event.
A large group of walkers from the Fenton area and beyond braved cold temperatures Sunday to join Lake Fenton High School’s anti-bullying organization, The Starfish Initiative, in honoring the memory of Josh Pacheco, a bullying victim who committed suicide. The walkers started out at Andrew G. Schmidt Middle School, in the Fenton Area Public Schools district and hiked to Bush Park. Pacheco was 17 and a junior at Linden High School. He committed suicide on Nov. 27. His parents said bullying played a role in his death and said Pacheco was gay, which led to him being bullied both inside and outside of school, according to the Flint Journal.

City holds community brainstorming session at A.G. Schmidt Middle School on Wednesday; council to discuss strategic planning in January, mayor says.
Approximately 120 to 130 residents gathered on Wednesday evening at A.G. Schmidt Middle School to share their vision of Fenton in 2018. Ideas included improving walkability, demolishing the old Topps fruit market building off Caroline Street, a trolley loop, and an improved or new library. City council members led six groups in brainstorming ideas, as Mayor Sue Osborn, City Manager Lynn Markland and facilitator Dr. Lew Bender circulated. City employees helped record the ideas, and then Bender asked for each group's top picks. Many people mentioned demolishing the vacant fruit market building and adding a parking structure or another feature there. Layne Schupbach, of Fenton, said it could become home to an ice rink. She also suggested …

Kids report good first day of school; administrators and teachers excited about new academic year.
The first day of school isn't without some bumps in the road, but Fenton students, teachers and principals are excited about the new academic year. A new locker combination takes a little getting used to, and so do new classes, but the first day is really fun, said seventh-grader Ethan Krantz, of Andrew G. Schmidt Middle School. He's looking forward to meeting new people and having gym class next semester, but he said he had a good summer as well. "Most of the time, I just sat around but I went on a couple of cool trips," he said. "And I got to sleep in, which was really nice." Sixth-grader Alexis Skinner said she was a little nervous about her first day of middle school, but now she's excited and "it's been great." She met new students …
