DAVISBURG, Michigan – Flag Day came 10 days ahead of schedule at Davisburg Elementary School on Friday as students, staff, parents and several area veterans came together for an American flag dedication ceremony.

While the ceremony celebrated newly acquired flagpoles that were erected in front of the school by the Davisburg Elementary School Parent Teacher Connection and several generous donors, the real focus was on patriotism.

Led by bag piper Donald Ross, members of the Veterans of Foreign War and American Legion color guard slowly took their places in front of a sea of elementary school students, mesmerized by Ross’ rendition of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee.”

DAVISBURG, Michigan – Two years ago, Lisa Bell Snodsmith, a Davisburg Elementary School teacher, wife, mother and dear friend to many lost a courageous battle with cancer. Having a preschool-aged son, she passed her love of literature onto her son, Kye, by routinely taking him to story hour at the Springfield Township Library.

In memory of her spirit and love for reading, Daviburg Elementary School is proud to establish the Lisa Bell Snodsmith Memorial Scholarship, a scholarship used to pay the fee for families that are not residents of Springfield Township, but would like to enjoy the library just as much as the Snodsmiths did.

Those wishing to make contributions to the scholarship fund are asked to send donations to the attention of Aimee Schwartz, Davisburg Elementary School, 12003 Davisburg Road, Davisburg, 48350. Donors are asked to write, “Lisa Bell Snodsmith Memorial Fund,” on the memo line of the check.

DAVISBURG, Michigan – The students of Davisburg Elementary School enjoyed a real treat on Thursday as celebrated author Josephine Nobisso visited their school, sharing stories she’s written, tips and information about writing, and many personal stories behind her books.

“After our morning session, I got all goose-bumpy because  Ms. Nobisso has good energy – great energy,” Principal Barb Bloom told students before Thursday afternoon’s presentation. “She has wonderful stories to tell you about her life, and her life as an author – and some amazing things about her book that I think you’ll enjoy very much.”

With that, Bloom introduced Nobisso to a room packed with third, fourth and fifth graders.

Nobisso has written over 40 children’s books, and chose to first share “Hot Cha Cha,” a book she wrote using straight and slant rhyme and wonderful rhythms to explain “the five W’s and How.”

DAVISBURG, Michigan – One hundred and fifty fourth- and fifth-graders and their parents from Davisburg Elementary School took part in Great Lakes National Cemetery’s fifth annual Veterans Day program Nov. 11.

Student enjoyed watching the Marine Corp League Flint detachment Presentation of Colors, and listened intently as the National Anthem was sung by the New Century and Grand Blanc High School chorales.

Additionally, the ceremony included a cannon salute from the Battery K 9th division and Battery D 1st Michigan light artillery Civil War Cannoneers. Students watched as military wreaths from each branch of the service were presented.

“The best part was a speech from General Peplinski of the Selfridge Air Foce Base,” parent Nancy Humphries said. “He talked about the need to honor all of our veterans old and new, and whether you agree with the war or not, they are all worthy of the highest respect and gratitude from all citizens for serving their country.”

“I liked that it took you back in time to see the veterans of WWII and others,” student Maris Humphries said.

Humphries said the Davisburg students were the first elementary school to ever attend the event.
