Livonia CSD

🎭🎨 Fine Arts Friday: Best of Luck to Our Odyssey of the Mind Teams! 🧠💡 This week, we’re celebrating the creative minds behind Livonia’s Odyssey of the Mind teams as they head into competition! We’re proud to have four teams representing Livonia — two from the Elementary School and two from the Middle/High School — competing in the Region 15 Odyssey of the Mind Tournament tomorrow, Saturday, March 22nd! Odyssey of the Mind is where imagination meets innovation. Students write scripts, build props, design costumes, and perform original skits — all while solving complex problems through teamwork and creativity. It’s hands-on, student-led, and totally Bulldog-brilliant! 👏 Good luck to all of our teams as they take the stage and show Region 15 what Bulldog Pride is all about! 🎭 Let the creativity flow and the ideas shine — we’re cheering you on every step of the way!

🔶🔷 Throwback Thursday – Mike Crabb 🔷🔶 Once a Bulldog, Always a Bulldog! 🐾🎶 This week's #ThrowbackThursday shines a spotlight on Mike Crabb, a proud Livonia graduate who has returned to share his passion for music with the next generation of Bulldogs! 🎼 Current Role: 🎶 Elementary School General Music Teacher 🎤 4th, 5th, & 6th Grade Chorus Director 🎭 Musical Director Mike's Livonia Story: "Growing up in this community was a privilege. This school district has always offered small-town charm while providing students with big-time opportunities. Our athletic programs, extracurriculars, and the art and music programs go far beyond what you’d expect from a ‘small town’ district. The real magic of Livonia is the community support and collaboration. People here don’t just attend games, concerts, and events—they get involved. We all work together to create the best possible experience for our students. I was incredibly excited and fortunate when the opportunity arose for me to return home and teach music in the place that had given me so much. I love teaching music. I love teaching in this town. And the community support is unmatched. It is an honor to work with some of Livonia’s youngest musicians and watch them grow into the incredible opportunities this district has always offered." 💙🧡 We’re lucky to have Mr. Crabb inspiring the next generation of Bulldog musicians! 🎵

🎭➕ From the Mean Girls Stage to the Real Mathletes Stage! ➕🎭 Life imitated art today as Mean Girls cast members Kallen M. and McKenna C. swapped the stage for the scoreboard, competing in the Monroe County All-Star Math Meet at Nazareth College! 🏆📊 Just like in the musical, they joined forces with the top Mathletes from Geneseo, Cal-Mum, and York—representing the GV BOCES South division as the highest-scoring math competitors in the region. The team did well and had a lot of fun, great job to all! 💖🧠 Way to go, Mathletes! #Mathletes #YouCANCompeteWithUs #BulldogPride #SoFetch
