Our kindergarten students at Gudith Elementary celebrated International Dot Day by reading The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds and discovering the message behind the story: everyone has the ability to make their mark!
After reading the book, our young learners put their creativity to work by creating dots for a special Dot Day mural along the new kindergarten hallway. Each dot is unique—just like the students who made them—and together, they create something beautiful as a community. ❤️
International Dot Day began in 2009 when teacher Terry Shay introduced his students to The Dot. Inspired by the story of a student who learns to trust in her own abilities, Dot Day has grown into a worldwide celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration.
What started with one small dot on a piece of paper continues to inspire people of all ages to be brave, get creative and make their mark.
We love seeing our youngest Warriors do just that! 💜

Mrs. Machlik’s kindergarten class kicked off the first day of school with a special way to help those first-day jitters disappear!
The class read The Pigeon Has to Go to School! by Mo Willems and then enjoyed a little “Jitter Juice” — a fun classroom tradition designed to help kindergarteners shake off those nervous feelings and get ready for a great year of learning.
Because starting kindergarten is a BIG adventure… and sometimes all you need is a good story, a little magic, and a cup of juice to help you feel right at home! 📖🧃
Welcome to kindergarten, Warriors! We’re so glad you’re here!

But when we remember September 11, we also remember courage. We remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders, military members, teachers, doctors, and ordinary people who showed incredible bravery when others needed help. They did not know exactly what was going to happen, but they chose to help. They chose to be brave. Their courage showed us what it means to put others before ourselves.
We also remember unity. In the days and weeks after September 11, people across our country came together. They helped strangers. They supported families. They stood beside one another. Differences that sometimes seemed important suddenly mattered much less than the fact that we were all Americans, all neighbors, and all human beings who needed one another.
Today, 25 years later, we raise our flag together. No one person is raising it alone. Each of us has a hand on the rope, and each of us has a part in lifting it higher. That is what unity looks like. When we work together, we are stronger. When we stand together, we can face difficult things with courage.
As fourth graders, we can carry that lesson with us every day. Courage doesn't always mean doing something heroic. Sometimes courage means standing up for someone who is being treated unfairly, helping someone who is struggling, trying again when something is difficult, or doing the right thing even when it isn't easy.
So as we raise our flag today, let us remember those we lost, honor those who showed courage, and celebrate the strength we find when we stand together.
Twenty-five years later, we remember. We honor. We stand together. And we will never forget.

Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year, Grizzlies!
It was a special evening in the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District as we officially celebrated the incredible transformations at Bates Elementary and Gudith Elementary!
Members of our Board of Education, former Superintendent Mark Greathead, staff, families, and community members joined us to celebrate these exciting bond projects and the many new and renovated spaces now ready for our students.
✨ From brand-new SMART Labs and learning spaces to updated classrooms, renovated cafeterias, new art and music rooms, kindergarten classrooms, improved entrances, parking lots, outdoor spaces, and so much more—these projects represent a tremendous investment in our students and their future.
At both schools, nearly every corner tells a story of creating safer, more welcoming, and more engaging spaces where our Warriors can learn, grow, and thrive.
We are so excited to see these spaces filled with our students this school year!
