Throwback Thursday – Mary Ann Benedict, Class of 1984 🧡💙
This week, we’re celebrating Mary Ann Benedict, a proud member of the Class of ’84 who continues to make an impact at Livonia CSD!
You may know Mary Ann as our District Data Coordinator, or you might recognize her from Bouncing Bulldogs or behind the mic at sporting events. No matter the role, she’s always been a dedicated part of the Bulldog community!
"I find it rewarding and a privilege to work in the community where I grew up. There’s a unique sense of belonging and familiarity that makes my work feel more meaningful. It brings me a sense of pride in being part of a school that holds so many memories. I am now and always will be proud to be a Bulldog."
Thank you, Mary Ann, for your continued dedication to Livonia! Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog! 🐾

Livonia 3rd graders had an amazing afternoon yesterday at the World Communities Concert with Dave Ruch! 🌍🎶
Students explored different cultures through music and language, discovering unique instruments like the Indian tabla drum 🥁 and learning about the 8-stringed bouzouki from Greece, also called an octave mandolin. They also got a glimpse into traditional folk music from India, bringing new sounds and rhythms to life!
What a fantastic way to experience the world through music!
Yesterday, Brad Gillilan, a professional sugar maker from Vermont, visited Livonia to work with students and help grow their budding maple syrup program! 🍁
Students learned about the design of maple tubing sap collection systems, as well as the economics and job opportunities within the maple industry. Their goal is to collect 1,200 gallons of sap and produce 30 gallons of pure maple syrup.
Stay tuned – the syrup will be for sale soon! 🍯

Oh me, oh my, what did I see?
A wacky bunch of Bulldogs as silly as can be!
👕 Shirts on backward, hair standing tall,
Wacky Wednesday fun was had by all! 🎉🤣
First, they smiled—so sweet and bright,
Then made silly faces—what a sight! 😜📸
From crazy colors to outfits askew,
Dr. Seuss would be proud of this wacky crew! 🎩📚
Thanks for the fun, the laughter, the cheer,
Wacky Wednesday is the best day of the year! 💙🧡
It’s Top Hat Tuesday, hip hooray! 🎩
What kind of hat would you rock today?
A big tall hat or one that’s small,
A cowboy hat to stand up tall?
A silly hat that’s full of flair,
Or maybe one with crazy hair?
A baseball cap or something neat,
Or even a chicken on your head—peep, peep! 🐔🎩
Hats can show just who we are,
Like dreams that take us near and far!
So tell us now, don’t make us wait—
What’s your hat? We bet it’s great!
Today, our 6-8 and 9-12 grade students had the incredible opportunity to hear from Duncan Kirkwood, a global resilience advocate, author, and veteran dedicated to helping young people unlock their potential.
He encouraged students to step outside their comfort zones, get involved, and take advantage of the opportunities around them. He focused on the fear of failure and how it can be used as a stepping stone to growth, strength, and perseverance.
His main message was clear:
🔹 I will always place my mission first.
🔹 I will never accept defeat.
🔹 I will never quit.

🚀 Engineering in Action! 🏭🔧
A huge thank you to Peko Precision for welcoming our Principles of Engineering students to their facility last week! 🙌
Our students were inspired as they witnessed firsthand the state-of-the-art processes at a leading contract manufacturer specializing in electromechanical projects.
🔹 From CNC machining and lathes to electrical panel assembly, welding robots, and collaborative robots (cobots), they explored every step of the design and production process.
🔹 The laser cutter was a clear favorite, stealing the show among our future engineers! ✨
The experience was not only educational but truly unforgettable, sparking enthusiastic conversations all the way home. A special thank you to Mark and the entire Peko team for your warm hospitality and for sharing your expertise with our students! 🧡💙
📸 Perspective Changes Everything! 👀✨
At first glance, the close-up photos don’t seem too extreme—just a student climbing a rope or a cargo net. But when you zoom out… WOW! 😲 Suddenly, you realize just how high they’ve climbed!
💪 In gym class, students are building strength, coordination, and confidence as they take on the ropes, cargo nets, monkey bars, and rock climbing wall. It’s all about grip, muscle, and determination—and a little bit of bravery too!
🔎 Lesson of the day: Sometimes, you need to take a step back to truly appreciate the effort and achievement in front of you!

📸 Throwback Thursday: Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog! 🐾
This week, we’re back in the Elementary School with Mrs. Welch! But instead of a senior photo, we’re throwing it WAY back—with a 5th-grade photo of our 5th-grade teacher!
Mrs. Welch, a 2015 Livonia graduate, is now shaping young minds right where she once sat as a student. 💙🧡
✨ Her favorite part of teaching at Livonia?
"I had such a great experience when I went to school here, and my favorite part is giving my students the experience I had. I get to watch them grow, try new things, and learn in fun and engaging ways. I’m honored to be their teacher here at Livonia!"
From Bulldog student to Bulldog teacher—Mrs. Welch is proof that once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog! 🐶❤️#OnceABulldogAlwaysABulldog
