Until now. “We are out of funds and we have to come up with some to finish up this school year,” she said. “I think we’re looking at about $4,000.” The program provides children – most of them elementary students whose families are struggling financially – with a backpack filled with food to ensure they have enough to eat on the weekends. Bock ex - plained each backpack includes canned and boxed foods that provide two dinners, two lunches and two breakfasts along with snacks. Each week, members of the Cass City High School National Honor Society chapter fill the backpacks, which are then distributed to students on Fridays. While the number of kids who benefit from the program varies from year to year, the need for this type of effort has not decreased signifi - cantly in a school district where more than 50 percent of students in grades K-12 qualify for free and reduced-price meals. “It’s been up and down,” Bock said. “Last year it (percentage) was a little lower, and this year it’s a little higher.” At one point, a couple years ago, school officials were sending nearly 100 backpacks home with needy students on the weekends, “but there isn’t enough money to keep going at that rate,” she added. Anyone interested to donating to the backpack project is asked to con - tact Bock at the school by calling (989) 872-5729.

In the meantime, residents throughout the Thumb continue to struggle to understand how such a tragedy could occur. “She (Katie Bonini) was so loving, bright, caring and helpful. I just cannot believe what happened,” commented Barbara Merchant Tilt of Cass City, a former longtime Unionville-Sebewaing Area School Dis - trict teacher. “Katie helped me in my classroom. She always had the biggest smile. Whatever she did she was a hard worker. “She was such a beautiful soul,” Tilt added. The Boninis’ daughter was studying psychology at Saginaw Valley State University. According to Tilt, she was adopted from Russia by the Bonini family when she was a toddler. “She was so thrilled about being an American,” Tilt said. “She was just so excited about life. I still cannot believe what happened. It is all so, so sad.” LOCAL NHS students, including (from left) Seth Roggenbuck, Sayge Margo Bonini, who was the director of the Sebewaing Township Li - Cuthrell, Errianne Hoyt and Joseph Skiles, volunteer their time each brary, was well respected by those in the community and who knew her. “It’s so sad.

The 23rd annual school tours at the Thumb Octagon Barn near Gage - town are still about 2 ½ months away, but organizers of the popular field trips are urging educators to register now to ensure their students are signed up for a fun-filled and educational trip into the past. This year’s tours for youngsters in preschool through the eighth grade are scheduled for Wednesday, May 9, Thursday, May 10, and Friday, May 11. The tours’ 2018 theme is “The Thumb: Naturally Sweet!” Educators can sign up on the website thumboctagonbarn.org (click on 2018 School Tours and Registration”, then fill out the form), or by contacting Diane Rapson Gabil, Thumb Octagon Barn school tours chairperson, via email at [email protected]. “Students will learn about how products grown/raised in the Thumb of Michigan were used to sweeten foods in the early 1900’s and today are continuing to be used to sweeten food production for the world,” Rapson Gabil said of the year’s event. “(We’re) also highlighting how these products figure into complex industries and occupations locally and world-wide.” Rapson Gabil said the theme ties in directly to health, science and so - cial studies curriculums at all area elementary and middle schools.

Greenleaf Township consists of about 36 square miles. The area that would become known as Sanilac County was originally made part of St. Clair County for judicial purposes. The area ex - tended to Saginaw Bay and west to Tuscola County. In 1848, the Michigan Legisla - ture authorized the separate organ - ization of the county, and Lexington was the county seat until 1879 when it was moved to Sandusky. Political unrest in On - tario, Canada, and the promise of jobs at lumber mills brought many to Sanilac County. The settlers were of Scotch, Irish and English nationality. In 2016, township operations were relocated from the Gilbert Road hall to 6345 Bay City- Forestville Rd. The decision was based largely on the fact that the former hall had reached its maxi - mum electrical capacity and lacked basic amenities. “The building doesn’t have run - ning water or a bathroom,” said Cleland. “It had an outhouse out back, but that fell down a while ago.”
The Greenleaf Township Board meets at 7 p.m. on the third Thurs - day of the month. Office hours at the hall are 2 to 7 p.m. on the third Wednesday of the month.
