Livonia Kids and Families partners with art students

Livonia Kids and Families partnered with Clarenceville High School and assistant Principal Tracey Stevenson, to design a brand logo that LKF could use throughout the year as Veronica Cruz explains, "on various promotional items and projects."

There were nearly 20 students providing a logo of their original design. Eight Semi-finalists were selected from the entries and narrowed down to three finalists including:

1st place winner: Amber Vlasblom
2nd place winner: Julia Kelley
3rd place winner: (Raka) Francisco Farhan

The winning entry by Vlasblom is shown below. She is a senior, and will be entering the Center for Creative Studies next year. As the winner of the logo competition she was asked to draw the winning raffle ticket for the Livonia Symphony Orchestra this past Saturday (pictured above).
Stevenson adds that she wants "to thank Livonia Kids and Families non-profit organization for affording our high school students the opportunity to participate in the logo design contest. The students were excited to be presented their awards during their art class. Thank you for providing a monetary gift card to all of the contestants. 

"The partnership with Livonia Kids and Families has truly been a blessing to our school community, and we look forward to working with LKF in the future."

Thinking Big--
what would you like to see?

If you could have one vision for the future of the 2020's in Livonia what would it be? With that in mind Musings has asked community leaders from a variety of fields to provide our readers with one wish for the decade. Not just a mantra like "work together" or "return to normal."

The 50's brought us St. Mary Hospital. The 60's a recreation center in the YMCA. The 70's brought us Greenmead. The 80's the Civic Center Library. The 90's the Recreation Center.

Get the picture? What will the 2020's be known for?

Musings will run the responses every Wednesday and Friday starting January 6 and concluding February 10. And then on February 12 Musings will give our readers the opportunity, in a special Valentine issue, to share why they love Livonia.

Between now and February 8th send FridayMusings your completion of the statement "I love Livonia because. . ." Don't worry we will remind you often during January to give you ample opportunity to respond.
