VIDEO: Balloons Released in Honor of Royal Oak Siblings
Students, teachers, parents, friends and family gathered at a Royal Oak Middle School football game to remember the lives of Jordan and Ashley Siegel.
Tears and laughs were shared Wednesday afternoon as students, teachers, friends and family gathered at a Bulldogs football game at Royal Oak Middle School to participate in a balloon release to honor the lives of Jordan, 14, and Ashley, 11, Siegel. The Siegel children were tragically killed in a crash along southbound U.S. 23 in Pittsfield Township on June 22. Christie Siegel, the children's mother, cheered on the Bulldogs from the stands wearing Jordan's No. 10 practice jersey. Jordan was the Bulldogs' quarterback the last two years. Last week, the ROMS student council sold memorial cards as a fundraiser for the Jordan and Ashley Siegel Scholarship Fund. The memorial cards were an opportunity to write a note to the Siegel family. For each…

Forever a Bulldog: Balloon Release Set for Royal Oak Siblings at Middle School
The Royal Oak Middle School Student Council plans a memorial in honor of Jordan and Ashley Siegel who died in a June car accident.
A balloon release for the Royal Oak siblings killed in a rollover crash in June is planned for October. In memory of Jordan and Ashley Siegel, the Royal Oak Middle School Student Council will be doing a balloon release at the Bulldog football game on Oct. 3. This week, the student council will be selling memorial cards as a fundraiser for the Jordan and Ashley Siegel Scholarship Fund. Students, parents, friends, and staff can write a note to the family of Siegel children on the cards. For every memorial card sold for at least $1, one biodegradable balloon will be released at the football game at halftime.

I'm with you Andy and pixlink. An equally simple act such as the planting of a tree or patch of flowers not only is a permanent memorial, as opposed to the visible "sentiment" of a ten second balloon release, to those loved ones who were lost and may be revisited and cared for, but also honors the deceased by honoring the earth we will all, one day, return to. If only the student council would … more ›

Bulldogs Swim Team Undefeated for Fourth Year
Things are going swimmingly for a group of record-breaking Royal Oak Middle School students.
Royal Oak Middle School students have a lot to be proud of. The Bulldogs co-ed swim team has broken all the school relay records and is undefeated for the fourth year in a row – and, according to eighth-grader Tyler Helmle, it has the best pool in the area and the best coaches, too. This year, the Bulldogs have outswam Ferndale (twice), Country Day (twice), Berkley, West Bloomfield and Clawson. In January alone, school records have been set in the 200-yard medley relay, 50-yard butterfly and 200-yard freestyle relay. “The kids think more about breaking records than being undefeated,” said Julie Breen, whose son Chris has been on two record-breaking relay teams. “They are getting used to being undefeated.” Breen said her son is very …
