I’ve been in public television for four decades now, and I’ve never seen one of our stations with a keener commitment to what’s important to the folks it serves.” - Bill Moyers SHOWING THE WORLD HOW DETROIT PERFORMS A Report to Our Community “Performance” has many meanings. From the cars we drive, to thrilling moments on stages and screens, to delivering on a promise, performance matters. In these pages, you’ll see how Detroit Public TV has performed this year in its mission to provide trusted programming on TV, on radio, and online. Every great performance requires collaboration and that is especially true in public media. We rely on our region’s educators, policy makers, deep thinkers, visionaries, artists, students, and – most of all – on supporters like you to showcase greater Detroit and create programs that educate, entertain and inspire. While we’re proud of the success stories we’ve helped create, please know that we’re continually looking ahead to meet future challenges and opportunities.

  • Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society!
    1 WINTER 2018 Moving Forward at the Detroit Historical Society! At the Detroit Historical Society, 2017 has been a time of transformation. Three years of work on Detroit 67: Looking Back to Move Forward came to fruition this year, and the efforts that went into it led us to adopt a new model for engaging the public in creating programming and exhibitions in our museums. Our work is stronger for it, as evidenced by positive reviews, awards and steady increases in visitor numbers driven by the Detroit 67: Perspectives exhibition. Most importantly, however, our organization changed from the inside out. Our model for engagement, Engage, Refect, Act (ERA), incorporates a three-step process for commencing work on new programs and exhibitions at our museums: engage the community, refect on what we learn and inspire visitors to action based on the relevance of history to today. We are committed to applying this model internally and externally as we work to tell Detroit’s stories and why they matter. That means that we are engaging the talents of our staff across departments to strengthen and streamline our work in the same way that we are engaging the public and other cultural institutions to inform upcoming programs and exhibits. In October, the Detroit Historical Society and our partners at the Detroit Institute of Arts and the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History were honored with the Michigan Museum Association’s 2017 Peninsulas Prize in recognition of our unique collaboration on the Detroit 67 project. This was wonderful evidence of the transformational power of the ERA model.

  • Dear Maire Families, We Welcomed
    MAIRE ELEMENTARY ● Sonja Franchett, Principal Each and Every Child, Each and Every Day March 25, 2015 Dear Maire Families, We welcomed Spring this year with our amazing Maire Fair. This whole-school carnival event represented almost 100% participation of our Maire students and families. The funds raised, along with our upcoming Parent Auction on May 2nd, will be spread out over the next three years to purchase building improvements, classroom and technology supplies, assembly and curriculum enrichment opportunities, and outside/garden/playground upgrades. Our entire Maire Staff thanks the parents and PTO folks who put forth tremendous effort in making our fundraising efforts both fun and successful. Along with our Carnival success, students and teachers at Maire have been engaged and learning in a wide variety of projects and enrichment experiences this past month. Fifth graders have been researching countries throughout the world to prepare for their EXPO projects and to create presentations about the Spanish speaking world. Fourth graders visited the capitol at Lansing, and learned about people’s differences in a day-long “Disability Awareness” workshop. They also created their own businesses and marketed and tested their own vehicles in a STEM engineering project facilitated by Ms. Moir and some of our automotive engineering parents. Second graders have been studying about local businesses, and will begin research of famous people for the Living Museum. Third grade students have been honing their Michigan history skills, and will begin research about famous Michigan products for a Made in Michigan project. First graders and kindergarteners are continuing to grow their writing and reading skills during Readers and Writers Workshop every day! During lunchtime enrichment students are choosing to write their own creative plays, work with ceramics, grow their knitting skills, sing in lunch choir, and learn about geography and cultures of the world in the Passport Club.

A huge accomplishment that had a very simple beginning with one goal in mind, to help children live in a safe and nurturing home – The Detroit Children’s Baptist Home. During the early part of the century, children of all ages stayed in our care for many reasons including abuse, neglect, poverty, and from there, the Judson Center tradition of helping children, adults and families live healthy and successful lives began. During the past nine decades, Judson Center evolved, never forgetting our roots. When there was a need, we have been there and so has our dedicated board, leadership, staff, donors and partners. Our longevity and ability to grow is all due to the generous support we receive, and we are full of gratitude as 2018 was another successful year for Judson Center.
