MSU Partnering with our Gateway StudentsWith the help of a GLCSF grant, Gull Lake Community Schools Gateway students visited MSU's Kellogg Bird Sanctuary and Manor House in September enjoying activities that included the learning laboratories, a nature walk, and etiquette lessons.
Michigan State University’s W.K. Kellogg Biological Station is a place where people come to increase their understanding of natural and managed ecosystems and their linkages to society. The Station includes the Bird Sanctuary, the Conference Center & Manor House, and the Farm & Pasture Dairy.
At the heart of the Foundation’s efforts are grants which are distributed throughout the school year to benefit the Gull Lake Community Schools.
Grant applications are accepted only from GLCS Staff Members and GLCS Students. The applicant must be currently employed or enrolled in Gull Lake Community Schools. There are two main grant categories: Single-Year Grants
