R1SE HAS RISEN!

  The R1SE Education and Recreation facility held its ribbon-cutting ceremony  at 172 Keystone Way at noon on Wednesday, September 2, just 10 months after it broke ground on December 10, 2025. This 7,500-square foot building is 1.5 stories high and located near the Uptown North Main Complex.  At the top, the Frankenmuth Chamber of Commerce & Convention & Visitors Bureau led the ceremony, while at the right, R1SE founders and owners Heather and Trevor Szafranski smile before cutting the ribbon. “Our opening was incredible. We’ve smashed all previous R1SE enrollment records from our Freeland and Midland locations,” Trevor said. “Our staff has grown to about 12. In addition to our directors and teachers, we’ve added Frankenmuth High School aides and FHS graduates as well. We love that one generation is mentoring the next.”
