💜 Service in Action!
On Monday, 32 members of the Brownstown Middle School National Junior Honor Society, along with 4 staff members, volunteered at the Gleaners Taylor South Distribution Center. For two hours straight, students worked hard on two packing lines - helping prepare nearly 800 boxes of food to support around 20,000 people in our community.
This meaningful experience was made possible thanks to the Woodhaven-Brownstown Education Foundation (WBEF), which provided bussing through one of its grants.
Thank you, WBEF, for helping our students make a difference and for your continued support of hands-on learning experiences that strengthen our community! 💪💜

🧬 Hands-on Science at BMS! 🐸
Eighth grade students in Ms. Schefsky and Mrs. Banker’s science classes recently participated in a frog dissection lab. Through this hands-on activity, students explored the different body systems of a frog and discovered how many of them closely relate to those found in humans.
A special shoutout to first-year teacher Ms. Schefsky for diving right in and engaging her students in this unique learning opportunity! What an amazing way to spark curiosity and make science come alive. 🔬💜
