The Brownstown Middle School Service Squad wanted to express their appreciation to the many people who support them behind the scenes. They made special buttons to show their gratitude to administrators, administrative assistants, the BMS school nurse, the maintenance team, and the Special Services Department. Students also extended their thanks to the transportation staff by creating thoughtful cards and including M&Ms—symbolizing the Miles & Miles they drive safely every day. There are so many individuals who contribute to our school community, and we wish we could thank each and every one of them!

Last week, the halls of WBSD schools were buzzing with excitement as we welcomed some extra special guests for Take Your Child to Work Day! Kids had the unique opportunity to step into their parents’ shoes, lend a helping hand, and even enjoy some hands-on learning experiences. At WHS, our young visitors explored the dental lab, food lab, and more—jumping into fun, interactive activities across the building. It was a memorable day filled with smiles, curiosity, and Warrior pride!

🚀 Our Brownstown Middle School 8th grade students recently visited the Downriver Campus of Wayne County Community College to explore the amazing high school programs available through WBSD’s partnership with the Downriver Career and Technical Consortium (DCTC)! Students attended 12 rotations, learning about a wide variety of exciting programs — from Criminal Justice and Agriscience to Mechatronics, Education, Automotive Technology, and more! It was a fun and eye-opening experience, and students learned an important takeaway: Passing all their classes in 9th and 10th grade is key to being able to take advantage of these valuable career programs as upperclassmen. We’re excited to see where their future pathways will lead! 💜🎓 #WarriorPride #CareerReady #BrownstownMiddleSchool #DCTC #WBSD
