Congratulations to Inland Lakes Secondary Schools Students of the Week!
Dear Inland Lakes Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I want to thank you for the kind words, support, and encouragement I received during my recent medical leave. I’m happy to share that I’m doing well and am looking forward to returning to work soon.
A special thank you to Amanda O’Boyle, Lewis Robinson, and Lee Nash for stepping up to take on extra responsibilities in my absence. Their hard work and dedication helped keep everything running smoothly. I also appreciate the school board for their support and for bringing in Mark Erkhardt to assist during this time.
Next week, November 18th through November 22nd, I’ll be working remotely on a limited basis. While I may not be available for all meetings, I will check emails and address urgent matters. I plan to return in person on Monday, November 25th, and I’m excited to reconnect with everyone.
Thank you again for your patience, support, and teamwork during my leave. It’s an honor to serve this incredible community. Go Bulldogs!
Warm regards,
Beth Fairbanks
Superintendent

Congratulations to the Inland Lakes Varsity Football Team and Community!
Dear Inland Lakes Community,
It is with immense pride and excitement that I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Inland Lakes Varsity Football Team for an incredible season and for earning a spot in the State Semi-Finals for 8-Man Football! This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication, perseverance, and hard work of our athletes, coaches, and supporters.
To our athletes, your success on the field reflects the character and leadership you embody off the field. You have shown what it means to represent Inland Lakes with integrity, determination, and sportsmanship. Our school and community take tremendous pride in the way you have carried yourselves and the example you’ve set for your peers and younger Bulldogs.
A special thank you goes out to our coaching staff, whose leadership has been instrumental in this season’s success. Coach Travis Meyer, your vision and commitment to this program have been extraordinary, and your ability to inspire and guide our athletes is truly commendable. To Lee Nash, our Athletic Director, thank you for your tireless efforts in supporting this team and ensuring our athletes have the tools and opportunities to shine.
To the families, fans, and community members who have been with us every step of the way—your unwavering support means the world to our team. You have created an environment that fosters pride, unity, and encouragement, making every game feel like a celebration of what it means to be a Bulldog.
As the team heads into the State Semi-Finals, we stand united behind them, confident in their abilities and proud of all they have achieved. Thank you for making this a season to remember.
