A study of residents in long-term care facilities with advanced dementia found that about 12% went 18 months without receiving any outside visitors. Hearing this inspired our BMS Service Club to think about how we could make a difference.
Our BMS Service Squad wrapped nearly 40 tissue boxes in winter, birthday, and brightly colored wrapping paper. A few students even wanted to add handmade ornaments to make the gifts extra special. The goal is to offer a small, cheerful surprise to seniors who may not have a visitor during the winter season or on their birthday.
We’re proud to share that all of these decorated and wrapped gifts were delivered to Forest View in Woodhaven to brighten the days of residents in our community. This event was proudly supported by the Woodhaven-Brownstown Education Foundation

At the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, we don’t just participate in school safety training - we lead it.
WBSD is proud to be a Downriver leader in Comprehensive School Threat Assessment Training. Our own School Psychologist is certified to train other educators and districts, and we regularly host comprehensive safety and threat assessment training sessions right here in WBSD.
This leadership ensures that staff across our district - including our full-time social workers in all eight schools and school counselors at Woodhaven Upper Elementary, Brownstown Middle School, and Woodhaven High School - are equipped to identify, assess, and respond to potential concerns early and effectively.
By sharing our knowledge and best practices with neighboring districts, WBSD continues to strengthen not only our own schools, but the safety network of our entire Downriver community.

📚 Celebrating C.O.R.E. Reading Across the WBSD! 📚
We’re two months into the 2025–26 C.O.R.E. (Central Office Reading Enrichment) program, and our classrooms are buzzing with excitement, curiosity, and the joy of shared stories!
C.O.R.E. is a 13-year WBSD tradition where central office staff, Board of Education members, administrators, counselors, and other district leaders “adopt” a classroom and visit monthly to read aloud. Each visit brings a new book that stays behind for the class library, helping teachers build rich, diverse collections for young readers.
It’s a small moment each month that builds relationships, supports literacy, and strengthens the Warrior community.
📸 Pictured: Security Coordinator Larry Williams reading to his GSRP classroom at Wegienka Elementary as part of this year’s C.O.R.E. experience.
Here’s to another year of stories, smiles, and growing readers across the WBSD!

🎉 50th Day of School Fun at Erving Elementary! 🎉
Our kindergarteners rocked around the clock today as they celebrated the 50th day of school in true ’50s style! 🕺💃
Dressed in adorable ’50s outfits, students danced the Hand Jive at a mini sock hop, enjoyed tasty root beer floats, and even tried their hand at blowing bubble-gum bubbles! 🍨🎶
They also learned fun retro vocabulary like jukebox, diner, records, poodle skirts, and bowling—bringing the spirit of the 1950s to life right in their classrooms!
What a memorable way to mark this milestone! 💜📚✨
