SOUTHFIELD After being forced to take a year off because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Southfield Parks and Garden Club will host its 14th annual Garden Walk 2-5 p.m. June 20.
Each year, a different neighborhood is selected, and residents of that neighborhood get to show off the landscaping work they’ve done around their homes. The Cranbrook Village subdivision, located between 12 Mile and 13 Mile roads, west of Southfield Road, was tapped to be this year’s featured area.

SOUTHFIELD When Southfield Public Schools started to weigh the options of returning to school, Superintendent Jennifer Green said the decision would be based on science and science alone. At a Board of Education meeting held virtually Feb. 9, Green said Southfield was one of the last school districts in Oakland County to return to in-person learning, saying the board has put the health and safety of Southfield families first.
At the meeting, board Vice President Darrell Joyce stated serious concern for the health and safety of Southfield students, teachers and support staff, while board Trustee Yvette Ware-DeVaull urged parents, teachers and stakeholders to “trust the process,” and she said the board has done everything it needs to make sure everyone is safe.
