As part of their January project, the Brownstown Middle School Service Squad spent their time preparing signs focusing on promoting the message of INCLUSION! In preparation for the Unified Basketball game against the Woodhaven Police Department, the club members created signs to share encouragement and gratitude.
Students in Mrs. McNamee's third grade at Gudith Elementary School worked together to color and complete a gigantic puzzle of MLK. They researched famous MLK quotes and wrote them on their traced hands that they colored with multicultural colored crayons. The project will be displayed outside the classroom through the month of February during Black History Month as a reminder of the contributions Dr. King made to society.

The Gudith Jr. Goons Robotics Team represented the WBSD at the state competition last weekend. The robot had two perfect runs, scoring the maximum points that it was able to. Although the team did not place in the top ten to advance, one of the project judges commended the team, again, on their teamwork and representing the CORE Values of First Lego League. (Discovery, Innovation, Inclusion, Teamwork, Impact, Fun). The team enjoyed interacting with the other FLL teams and competing in the robot game. Congrats again, Gudith Jr. Goons for representing WBSD well!
