LPS Staff Serve as Liaisons for the Foundation
A district Champions Program was created to act as a liaison for the Foundation with each building and/or department. Each Champion shares information regarding the Foundation’s activities such as the Grant Program, the Competitive Edge Program, the Back-to-School activity, the Foundation’s Annual Luncheon, and more. The Champions Program continues to help generate and maintain financial support for the Grant Program.
Each year, the Foundation offers incentives to our Champions and we’d like to announce the winners of the $500 incentive for the 2022-23 year!
Congratulations to Grant Elementary School which had the greatest percentage of increase of contributors per capita from last year and Holmes Middle School which had the largest dollar amount of contributions per capita. These awards include one-time and per-paycheck contributions. We’d also like to recognize Coolidge Elementary School with a $100 award for having added so many more new contributors – 10!
Thank you to our Champions for their continued support of the Foundation! We couldn’t do it without them.
We love our Foundation volunteers!

You will be missed Dear Friend
We lost a very special person on March 31. Melodie Provencher retired from full time teaching with Livonia Public Schools and then joined the LPS Education Foundation. In recent years, she stepped back into the role of music teacher when the need arose to fill that valuable position at Johnson Upper Elementary. With the Foundation, Melodie served on the executive board as the recording secretary, chair of the Grant Program, co-chair of the Champions Program and she served on numerous committees.
Melodie will be greatly missed. She was loved by so many! Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.
The family has requested that memorial donations be made to the LPS Education Foundation. You may do that by clicking here.
