Livonia is home to numerous communities, including Rosedale Gardens and Burton Hollow. Another notable community is the Clarenceville Public Schools, the oldest school district in Michigan, established in 1837, just two years after the founding of Livonia Township.
Recently, this community, serving nearly 4,000 students, raised a substantial amount of money during the annual Clarenceville Education Foundation event, which attracted 128 golfers for a day of golf and dinner at Whispering Willows.
The essence of this community spirit lies in the eagerness of residents and student parents to volunteer, fostering a sense of neighborliness throughout the district.
Pictured above right, volunteers were busy setting up the raffle table, manning different stations around the course, and selling 50/50 tickets, all with the understanding that their efforts were shaping the school district by raising funds for various programs and projects.
Lori Miller, City Clerk, was on hand helping out at the turn, Brandon McCullough was there with Kacie McCullough, and took time to purchase raffle tickets from Margaret Kusito, past President of the Marching Band Boosters. Paul Shepich, recently retired Superintendent, was on the course for the first time in three years. Marissa Carruth, the new Superintendent was golfing to show her support as well.
Co-Chairman of the event Dan MacIver, golfing with his wife Veronica, a Clarenceville teacher, called the day another success as "the funding raised is put right back into the district with classroom grants enhancing the program Clarenceville is offering."
