There's a lot happening in Grass Lake, and it has never been easy to find. Events are posted on multiple Facebook groups, school websites, the township site and elsewhere around the web.
Grass Lake Mom is one place for all of it.

Who's behind this
I'm Sarah Frantz — a Grass Lake mom of three who spends too much time thinking about Grass Lake. I started this site in 2024 (though it sat in the dark for awhile due to time constraints) because the information was already out there; it just wasn't anywhere convenient. Everything you read here is written, summarized, or curated to make your life easier. I live here, my kids go to school here, and I want this site to be useful to you specifically.
