We are currently creating a brochure to distribute to the public as we collect signatures for our recall petitions.

We would like to have a LOGO on our brochure. We would also post this LOGO on signs, window decals, buttons, etc. throughtout the city. Does anybody have any good LOGO ideas? The logo should somehow convey the Save Our Schools (SOS) message.

Submit ideas to lpsproposalsrbad@sbcglobal.net

Hi everyone. I just registered for the forum and wanted to say how great it is to see so how concerned so many of us parents are about our kids and the education they receive. I can see that the people on this forum seem to be making friends through the frustration.
I attended this LI configuration when I was going through school and I, nor anyone I know, ever had a complaint about it. We all received great educations and most went off to high school and have great careers. The first negative I had ever heard with this configuration was recently by other parents when Livonia schools suggested the plan.
I work with and support any parent group when our kids education is at stake. However, in this case I think the eventual alternatives to this plan would be much worse and to fight the very people trying to help our kids, is probably going to do more harm than good.
I here a lot of talking about moving to other districts or going to charter schools, but the grass is always going to appear greener.
I really do appreciate and support the zeal of the people leading the arguments and the recalls. But if all this energy could be focused in helping the district, and our kids, through this transition, then maybe...just maybe...it would be so bad after all. Thanks for listening. :

Welcome, Rex. Hard to argue with that. I believe that many here who are unable to find or afford greener grass, with their children's best interest in mind, will fully support the teachers and staff. I personally, will be multi-tasking. I concede that the LI is a done deal for the near future, but I also believe that we have a rogue BOE that is unable to effectively manage the LPS administration. I also believe that a clean sweep is our best chance to right this ship, and without it, i.e. replacing only one seat every couple of years, we will never eliminate the status quo. I see it as building a better community, and not as though we would be tearing it down. (We would also like to apply that grass is always greener philosophy as a reason to keep our current grade configuration...we like the grass we have).

Rex, glad you decided to join. This has been such a long, learning process for all of us. To help get you informed, up to date with all going on, look at the top "PINNED" subjects. There you will see Educational Research, there is plenty to read. In summary, many of us have learned that the L.I. is a very poor choice educationally, financially, and emotionally, etc. Numerous parents have spent countless hours finding and posting all of this and have FACTS and the links provided for anyone interested. Also, you may want to visit: citizensforlivoniasfuture.com

This website is set up very different and is full of hyperlinks, making everything just a click away. It is much easier to find the most relevant information there.

PS. If you get a few hostile replies don't be alarmed. There always seems to be one or two looking to argue on here. My suggestion is to ignore them! The members posting here with good intentions far out weigh to looking to stir up "stuff"!

We got off subject here which is fine, but does anyone have any ideas? We need to have to word RECALL included. As of now, RECALL the Livonia School Board. Seems a bit dull but to the point. Advertising is not my "thing", somebody must know of effective ways to get the point across without too many words. One parent had the idea of using a life jacket with SOS. All ideas are welcome, please share your thoughts and ideas!

I think that was 5-6 is BS who had that. I agree it was a good logo...clearly understandable without having to read or study ( kind of like how the BOE operates )

It was "Livonia Voter" who had the avatar I would vote for being the best logo to use. The 5--6 inside a red circle with the word "Recall" as the line through the 5--6.

Highly appropriate, easliy recognizable, and only 2 colors for the printing...whooo-hoooo!!

I'm getting a White t-shirt made of that one ( unless thier is a copyright issue...lol! )

Update - white t-shirt with the black & red colored logo is 6.50 cents for order of 12-50. Anybody interested?...I will put the printer to work asap if there is interest.

Thanks. I enjoy puttering around with paint shop pro.

No idea who came up with the original idea. Hope I didn't step on any toes.
