One Holmes STEM Academy employee saw the series as an opportunity to continue with Holmes' effort to provide deliberate and tailor-made programs to the Brownell-Holmes community, a centerpoint of the school’s methodology since transitioning from Brownell-Holmes Elementary to Holmes in 2013.
Despite the HAP Crim Festival of Races’ cancellation this year, members of the Brownell-Holmes CrimFit Adult Training Program Team are still committed to crossing the marathon’s finish line, even if they have to do it virtually.
Neighborhood residents have worked to stay safe and make sure others do the same in the midst of the pandemic.
Brownell-Holmes and its residents are one and the same. Thanks to their sense of community and dedication to their home, these residents have been able to prosper while much of the northside of Flint struggles.
In an effort to highlight both community members' hard work as well as the steps yet to be taken, Flintside is proud to launch its second On the Ground series in Brownell-Holmes.
The discussion, which was attended by Brownell-Holmes parents and residents, focused on what the millage’s renewal would mean to residents if voted on Tuesday, March 10.
Local government representatives, organizational officials, Flint residents, and panelists featured in On the Ground coverage came together Saturday, Jan. 25 to discuss what the coverage over the centennial celebration meant to them and how no matter what, the historic neighborhood plans to work toward the future.
Join us for a community discussion from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 25 to conclude the initial six-month run of On the Ground Civic Park neighborhood coverage. Flintside is hosting a conversation with those covered and involved in our coverage in order to take a look back at their experiences, the effect of neighborhood journalism, and hopes for what is to come.
A neighborhood with a rich history, built through and decimated by inequity. A neighborhood that today is determined to create its own destiny.
The farm will stretch along Lawndale and Forest Hill avenues near the old Civic Park Elementary School — and include both a vegetable garden and a fruit orchard.
