Fowlerville Alumni Association seeking donations for scholarship fund
In 1974, officers of the Fowlerville Alumni Association established the FHS Alumni Scholarship Program. Monies are raised yearly to enable the organization to present scholarships to members of the current high school graduating class.
Over the past 40 plus years of the program, well over 150 young people have been recipients of this scholarship. The organization hopes to continue this tradition. Again this year, the alumni association will present four scholarships at the 2018 Senior Awards Night in May. Recipients are also recognized at the annual FHS Alumni Banquet. This year the 125th annual banquet is Saturday, June 9, at 6 p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
The scholarship fund is maintained through the many donations received in memory of loved ones who either were graduates of Fowlerville High School or who maintained strong connections to the school, including teachers, coaches, bus drivers, and friends of the school.
Please feel free to make donations in any amount at any time during the year. Some send donations annually, while for others it is a one-time gift.
Donations should be sent to: Ed Helzerman, Post Office Box 446, Fowlerville MI 48836. To be recognized in the 2018 program, a donation should reach Helzerman by May 7. Your generosity will not only help maintain the scholarship program, but will assist a graduating senior with college expenses.

The cast is made up of adults and children as well as first time performers and seasoned actors. Every performer will dazzle you with their talents from the orphanage to the mansion!
Advance ticket prices are $12 for adults and $10 for students/seniors. Tickets are available at Chiropractic Health Center (Dr. Tim’s) at 746 S. Grand Ave., Fowlerville and at the Fowlerville News & Views at 206 E. Grand River. Tickets can also be purchased online.
