Resolution of Objection to the Renaming of Green School
Adopted by the Board of the Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society at the September 7, 2011 board meeting.
From GWBHS President Buzz Brown
The Renaming of Green Elementary School
Almost 400 people tour Apple Island in May

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Greater West Bloomfield Historical Society strongly objects to the June 2011 decision of the West Bloomfield School Board to erase the name “Green School,” resulting in the distinct historical contribution of the Hartwell and Mary Green family to be discounted and forgotten.
