by

DAVISON (DTV) – (3/6/2025) – Davison High School’s very own Mrs. Heath is up for Teacher of the Year. She’s currently 3rd in her group, and voting ends tonight, so cast your ballot while you can.

Mrs. Heath is a retired police officer/ paramedic and is currently teaching Health Science at DHS. She has taught future nurses, paramedics, EMTs, police officers, and more all of the skills they need for their future careers. She’s so proud of all her students and how far they’re going in life. Heath says “My most memorable moments are when my students contact me to tell me their college classes are much easier because of my class, or when they contact me to tell me they are working as doctors and nurses!”

The prize for winning is $25,000 and a well-deserved trip to Hawaii. The school of the winning teacher gets an assembly with Bill Nye the Science Guy.

Keeping your pets safe in the winter

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (3/6/25) – After a little preview of spring, many of us in Mid-Michigan woke up to winter once again. Living in Michigan, we all know just how cold it can get in the winter. And while we can bundle up to stay warm, our pets rely on us for protection. Many of us have pets that we consider family members, and it’s our responsibility to make sure they stay safe and healthy when temperatures drop. From keeping them warm to protecting their paws, there are a few simple steps you can take during the cold winter months.

The Last Newscast in the Sandy Coots Studio

by

DAVISON(DTV) – (12/04/2024) – This year has been an exciting year for DTV as we continue to make the transition to our new space in the Performing Arts Center.
This Monday, we had our final newscast in the old studio. While we are excited for the future, we can’t help but shed a few tears as we say goodbye to a space that holds so many memories for over two decades. Literal blood, sweat, and many many tears went into that studio and classroom.
We are so grateful to our community, administration, teachers, and students for all of the support in moving DTV into the future. We of course must acknowledge all of the DTV legends of years past that absolutely made all of this possible. Without you all, we would not be where we are today. You all propelled us toward this monumental moment!
So goodbye to our old studio, but hello to new beginnings!

Here’s our last live newscast in the studio

Mr. Beamer and the “Real Men Wear Pink” Campaign

by

DAVISON (DTV) – (10/02/2024) – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Davison’s own Mr. Beamer is supporting the fight against breast cancer by competing in the “Real Men Wear Pink” Campaign.

His goal for this year is to raise $2,500 for the American Cancer Society. To support Mr. Beamer you can go to the “Real Men Wear Pink” website HERE.

Another way to support him is by going to Hilton Screeners and buying one of his “You don’t have to be this cool to wear pink” t-shirts for $10. A portion of the proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society. Be sure to wear these shirts to the Pink Out Game against Grand Blanc on October 18th.

Beamer says his reason for supporting the cause and wearing pink is, “Breast cancer affects everyone – it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why I’m stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I’m in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I’m helping to save more lives from breast cancer.”

Saginaw scored once again not long after. 38 – 22. Number 1, Jaxson Dosh ran into the endzone scoring the cards another touchdown, raising them from 38 to 45! The clock wound down and Davison took the win!  The final score was 45 – 22.

Congratulations, Cardinals, and happy homecoming!
