Season 5
Episode 1The idea was simple. Banning together to take away the financial burden associated with youth sports in Clarkston to ensure the next generation could participate in sports and create life-long friendships like Matt Boczar and DJ Zezula did. After Matt's unfortunate and unexpected passing in 2020, The Clarkston Player's Association changed their name to the Matt Boczar Foundation. Matt's story caught the attention of the Clarkston Junior High School Leadership Team and student Gabby Moultrup. This year for Charity Week, Gabby and her classmates will be raising funds for the Matt Boczar Foundation to keep the spirit of collaboration in Clarkston alive.

Episode 2For the past 24 school years, Clarkston Community Schools has offered Academic Service Learning. By marrying academic course work with community service, students have taken what they are learning in the classroom and applying it to projects in the community that are making a difference. In the last ten years, the program has grown from 35 projects a year to 65 in 2025. If it's helping Senior Citizens, the local animal shelter or celebrating America 250, 78 percent of students in Clarkston Community Schools have applied knowledge learned in the classroom by helping those in their community. Christine Rogers joins Anne and Katie to talk about the history of ASL and how students are helping promote America 250 in Clarkston and Independence Township.
