September 17 - National Constitution Day
On September 17th, the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District joins the nation in commemorating Constitution Day. This day marks the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787—a document that has guided our nation for over two centuries.
We celebrate the principles of democracy, justice, and liberty that form the bedrock of our country. It’s also a day to honor those who have become United States citizens, embracing the rights and responsibilities that come with this proud designation.
Let’s encourage our students to learn about and appreciate the Constitution, which continues to shape our nation and our lives.
