Northwest High School students Abby Nelson, Justus Faloon and Grant Kennell are among the 1st Hour Economics Class students who have launched an endowment for the Michigan Theatre. The class chose the theatre for their service learning project from among several they studied. Michigan Theatre Executive Director Steve Tucker said this is the first endowment the theatre has ever had. The student’s goal, through fundraisers and donations is $10,000.
