Brown’s Blog

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV) (3/21/2019)- Kevin Brown, the new Davison Community Schools Superintendent, is bringing the community a special way of delivering important announcements. The first video segment in this new series called “Brown’s Blog” informs listeners about the upcoming rescheduling due to snow days.

Students are constantly asking “What happens now?” With so many snow days to make up, even though 9 out of  12 have been forgiven by the State, that begs the question where will we find the time.

The new plan is that March 22nd will be a half day for all schools and a teacher work day. During the May intersession all schools will have to make up a full day. The Davison Middle School will have to make up 3 full days during the May intersession due to flooding and electrical problems they had earlier this year.

As of right now this is the make up day schedule. Unless the state forgives more days plan on coming to school. To stay updated go to our Twitter or Instagram @dtv_official and our Facebook, Youtube, and Snapchat: DTV News.

ABC12 Spirit Cup takes over Davison High School

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV) (3/8/2019) On Friday March 8th the ABC12 Spirit Cup came to Davison High School. When students walked through the gymnasium they were given a ticket for a chance to win a few minutes in the Cash Drop machine which was a new addition this year. Students were also given an additional ticket for every five cans they brought to donate.

The spirit continued throughout the morning with  the doughnut eating contest, won by DTV’s own Bailey Kinnamon, “Suck it up” which required participants to suck M&M’s through a straw to transfer into another cup, and even a bubble relay. Special performances were given by Davison’s dance team and marching band. There was even a send off for the DHS robotics team, TEAM 3534 House of Cards, as they headed out for their big competition at Kettering University. Good luck team!

The ABC12 Spirit Cup is sponsored by ELGA Credit Union. Schools throughout Mid-Michigan compete by bringing cans, money, or boxed food to donate to the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan here in Genesee County. Every year ELGA gives a student the chance to spin the “Wheel of Fortune”. The number a student lands on is matched and given to the food bank. Evan Sorenson spun for Davison this year and landed on $75.00.

Thank you to everyone who got up early to show some school spirit for a good cause!

MAB Great Lakes Media Show 2019 and the PR aspect of media told by Truscott Rossman

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV)-(03/07/19) On Wednesday March 6th, DTV made its way to Lansing for the Michigan Association of Broadcasting conference. We attended some sessions about writing, careers, and learned some great tips on how to be better journalists. After a session of impactful learning, we sat in on the keynote speech from former CBS correspondent and 60 minutes reporter Lara Logan. We learned what it meant to her to be a journalist and some key things to remember and stick with us for life.

That day we were able to interview her about an upcoming story story we are working on. Logan is not only a courageous, truth bringing journalist, but a kind and caring woman who gave us a lot of time.

While at the MAB conference, our very own DTV senior Abigail Fulcher received an award for first place best news feature story.

Following the conference we made our way over to the Boji Tower  to visit the Public relations firm Truscott Rossman. The presentation was set up by DTV alum and former Executive Producer Lindsay Gerber. We learned about the PR side of media, and talked about how communications influence the way we work as journalists.

Check out the slideshow from our trip!

  • Rivals meet! Congrats to Rockford for their awards.

Davison Hockey Team’s Skate to States

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV)-(2/28/19) The Davison Hockey team took their skills to Division 2 Regionals after a long year of big wins and a few tough losses.

The boys stand at 21 wins, 3 losses and 1 tie to finish out their season, with heartbreaking losses to Saginaw Heritage, Cadillac and Marquette; which prove to be some of the toughest hockey programs in the state.

This team’s immense amount of skill and their tight bond, both on and off the ice; give light to why this team is as successful as it is. Doug Towler, the varsity head coach, agrees that this team can be one of the best teams in the region when they work together.

On February 26th, they won the first round of Regionals 9 to 4 against the Fenton Linden Griffins at the Dort Federal Credit Union (DFCU) Event Center. On February 28th, they squared off against the Lapeer Lightning in the Regional Semi-Finals also at the DFCU Event Center, and won 9-0. On Saturday, March 2nd, they headed to Regional Finals against Hartland High School, and lost to the Eagles 8-0.

 

Big Changes to a County Classic

by Leave a Comment

 

DAVISON (DTV)-(02/4/19) Recently the Little Caesars franchise in Genesee County changed hands. In December 2018 the Sheroski family sold all of their 21 Little Caesars locations in Genesee county and Durand to Mac Pizza, LLC.  

Tom and Theresa Sheroski and nine of their children have been running the franchise part of Little Caesars since 1964. Tom Sheroski  became the 13th franchisee in Little Caesars history when he opened a store in Wyandotte Michigan. Sheroski was then asked by company owner, Mike Ilitch, if he would be willing to open the first franchise in Genesee County. Tom Sheroski thought for a moment and replied “Ok, but I want exclusive rights to the whole county.”  55 Years later the family is selling the stores.

Christopher Perras is the new district manager for Mac Pizza and says the move was the right time. “I do feel like it was the right place at the right time, and a good family came together with a good company that wanted to honor them and it was a good pairing”

Mr. Perras discussed some changes coming to the 21 locations currently operating. He indicated that the stores will get some renovations to make them look more like Little Caesars locations nationwide. Perras also indicated that the number of stores would remain the same, or increase, keeping the 350-400 pizza jobs intact.

“The Sheroski family did a great job.” said Perras. “They were the 13th franchise and are the oldest franchise in the company. We don’t see a lot of opportunity to change what they did. They did a great job. What we want to do is to make sure we are bringing it as close to Little Caesars standards as humanly possible.”

The sale was finalized on December 22nd, 2018 and new management has already begun updating locations.

Davison Student persuades Taco Bell to start Delivering

by Leave a Comment

DAVISON (DTV)-(11/6/18) Kinsley James was your average fourth grader- until she found herself craving tacos. However, her “mean mom” had just settled down for the night. But she didn’t let that dampen her mood, Instead she grabbed a pencil and paper. Using the skills she learned in the third grade, she wrote a persuasive letter that caught the attention of Taco Bell after her mother had posted it on Facebook. From that point on, her life completely changed. She got a very special phone call from Taco Bell telling her that they were going to fly her out to Las Vegas to speak at the Taco Bell convention in front of thousands of franchise owners in late September. She read her letter to over 4 thousand people, and received a standing ovation. And the fun doesn’t stop there, on October 25th, Taco Bell and GrubHub paired up and brought tacos and burritos to the students at Kinsley’s school.

Because of this young girl and her special skills, Taco Bell is now offering delivery in over 3,000 parts of the country- and yes, this does include Davison.
