A Long Awaited End

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV) – (6/09/2021) – On Monday, June 7th, the Davison Class of 2021 officially graduated and are taking the next step in their lives, although, this graduation was special.

For one, it was outside instead of it being inside. There had been the two previous drive-in graduations by Davison Schools for the 2020 Class, however, with semi-lifted COVID-19 restrictions taking place, a full audience was at the brand-new Cardinal Football Field.

That is another new twist to the typical graduation-it was on the recently-placed turf the Cardinal Football team plays on. With these new additions, though, the weather is another one that can’t be forgotten.

The fear of a rain-out was on everyone’s minds, but Principal Jacobs affirmed, “We’re having the graduation happen, rain or shine.” 

And so it did; the graduation continued, parents witnessed their kids walk across the stage, and the students got to flip their tassels at the end. 

Watch this and more below!

All Residents of Michigan 16+ years can now get the COVID-19 Vaccine; new requirements handed out to Spring Athletes

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV) – (4/05/2021) – Originally, on March 22nd, Governor Whitmer allowed people 16 and older with a medical condition or disability that leads them to have a higher chance of contracting COVID-19 to receive the vaccine. 

Now, on April 5th, every Michigander can make one’s way to a nearby holder of the COVID-19 vaccine and receive their first dose as long as they’re of the age requirement. This is possible because more vaccines are expected to arrive in Michigan very soon. 

Here, you’ll find the intriguing story of a Davison student after securing the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. 

 

Also, there are some new weekly requirements Spring Athletes must achieve in order to play their sport.

MHSAA has the new requirements explained in full detail on their website.

Some of these requirements will be to take a rapid COVID test once a week, a required signature of all athletes, and to turn in forms as soon as possible. 

Athletes will be given two forms this week that need to be returned right after their first day of testing. These forms will also be available in the Athletic Office.

Spring Athlete Testing will begin this week. On Wednesday, April 7th through Friday, April 9th, testing will take place before or after school. Each team will vary in times. Coaches will be given the dates to give to the athletes 

Every High school or Middle school athlete will take the test in the first week of one of these days.

Starting on April 11th, teams will have set days and times in the week to have the tests done. 

Also, one make-up day per week will be administrated.

Be sure to stay updated on new requirements for Spring Sport Athletes by checking back here. 

Davison ‘Adopt-a-Senior’ shows love to upcoming DHS-DAE graduates

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV) – (03-16-21) – While COVID-19 has made this year hard on all of our students, we know many of our seniors are feeling the sting of not having a normal senior year. To show some extra support for the class of 2021, Davison community members have put together a group on Facebook called “Adopt-a-Senior-2021“.

In the Facebook group, parents can share pictures and a little summary about their senior and then members in the group can adopt them. When a senior is adopted they receive goody baskets and surprises from the person who adopted them. If you would like to be adopted or maybe you’d like to help adopt a senior, visit the Facebook page “Adopt-a-Senior-2021” .  Or, for those who are not on Facebook you can email your senior’s information and picture to: DavisonAdoptASenior@gmail.com
