Awareness increased after tragic suicide of Josh Pacheco, 17, a junior at Linden High School, administrators say.
The key to stopping bullying is to have students report it to an adult, Fenton area school administrators say. After the suicide death of Josh Pacheco, a junior at Linden High School, superintendents discuss how their schools handle bullying. Linden Community Schools has added anti-bullying hot lines students can call or text, said Superintendent Ed Koledo. The students can remain anonymous when they report an incident. And the hot lines aren’t just for anti-bullying. They can also be used if students are worried about another student’s health or safety, or for reporting stealing, drugs, or another incident at school. The numbers are 810-373-2131 for the high school and 810-373-2458 for the middle school. Koledo said the hot lines have had…

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. Lake Fenton High School senior Matt Wilson, who began The Starfish Initiative, said he was bullied as a …

Students march to Knuths' house for special performance; raffle proceeds will go toward their trip to participate in Disney World parade.
The rain held off on Saturday afternoon, so Orlin Knuth, of Fenton Township, was able to collect on his raffle prize at home. He and his wife, Gail Knuth, waited outside as neighbors came out to watch. Then the Lake Fenton Marching Band became visible, marching a short distance from the high school to the Knuths' house on Jennings Road. Family and friends settled in from their positions in the backyard, as the 136-member band lined up and began to play their 25-minute Command Performance show. Under the direction of teacher Ryan Gonder, the students, dressed in their marching band uniforms with the color guard behind them, got their audience's feet tapping with the Lake Fenton fight song, "Brown-Eyed Girl," "Sweet Caroline," Led Zepplin's…

Blue Devils are hosting a Homecoming 5K Run/Walk that's open to the public, on Oct. 13.
The Lake Fenton High School cross country teams pitched in over the summer, and now the school has its own cross country course for the first time. Coach Chris Sobczak said he and the runners spent at least 30 hours over the summer constructing the course after practice. They marked out the course, painted posts, dug holes, buried wooden 4 by 4s, and installed a gate. "It was a lot of work, but we knew we wanted to get it done," Sobczak said. "We stayed after for two, three or four hours and worked on it." All of the runners lent a hand, and students Skylor Smith, Mike Dailey and Becky Fernelius put in a lot of time and were there after every practice to help, he said. Funding was from donations and an account that was set up a couple of …
