10/10/12 - The Fowlerville Schools performing arts center has been renamed in honor of longtime district teacher and administrator Ed Alverson. That decision was made at last nightâs meeting of the Fowlerville Board of Education. Alverson worked for the district for 40 years as a teacher and principal in the high school and as the superintendent that oversaw the construction of what will now be called the Alverson Center for Performing Arts. The name was chosen by a committee of board, staff, and community members. A ceremony to honor Alverson will take place at the boardâs next meeting, and signage acknowledging the new name will be put in place sometime after that. The board originally planned to honor Alverson by renaming Gold Road, which leads to the performing arts center, but renaming the facility was deemed a more fitting tribute. The committee chose the structure of the new name in part to help people shorten it in conversation, allowing the facility to be referred to as âthe Alverson Centerâ or simply âthe Alverson.â (TD)
