We want to wish Mrs. Tara and Mr. Mike a Happy Custodian’s Day!
Their impact on the WUE goes far beyond cleaning.
They keep our building safe and welcoming, prepare spaces for learning and special events, solve unexpected problems, and lend a helping hand whenever someone needs it.
Their friendly greetings, care, and daily hard work help staff feel supported and students feel at home.
Thank you, Mrs. Tara and Mr. Mike, for all you do!

💜 HEART OF A WARRIOR 💜
Every day, members of the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District team go above and beyond to make a difference for our students, families and one another.
This year, we’re shining a spotlight on those special staff members who truly exemplify what it means to be a Warrior through our new Heart of a Warrior recognition.
Each month, one or more WBSD staff members will be honored for the dedication, kindness, leadership, compassion, teamwork and countless other ways they make our district a better place. Each honoree will also receive an Amazon gift card as a small token of our appreciation.
🌟 Congratulations to our first two Heart of a Warrior honorees of the 2026-27 school year: Kelsey Smith and Melanie Shockley!
Kelsey leads by example, encouraging students and staff to challenge themselves, stay active and keep going when things get tough. Her dedication reaches far beyond the gym, helping build confidence, self-esteem and resilience in those around her.
Mel is the person who is always there to help. From supporting students and families to solving problems behind the scenes, she brings patience, kindness and a welcoming smile to everything she does. So much of what she contributes may happen quietly, but it makes a tremendous difference every day.
These two Warriors remind us that making a difference doesn't always mean being in the spotlight. Sometimes, it's simply showing up, lending a hand and helping others be their best.
Congratulations, Kelsey and Mel! We are so grateful for the heart you bring to WBSD.
