Hi folks, Jon Wennstrom here! This week we had a wonderful event with our Winter Field Day. One of the best compliments I heard was that it brought back "a little bit of normal" for our students. It was such a fun time and I need to thank Mrs. Berg-Grant for organizing and facilitating the event, our PTA team for providing hot chocolate and leading the stations, our Livonia Virtual team for coordinating the before school activities for our virtual students, our custodian Mr. Miller for making sure we had access to the stations by removing the snow and salting the walks, and finally to our amazing staff who ALL pitched in to make this event successful. My hope is that our students will remember this event fondly and they learned we can do anything we put our minds to!
