Please click on the link below to learn about upcoming events including Yake Family Speed Puzzle Night, Yake Family Dinner Night at Applebee's, Kindergarten Orientation and more. You will also find links to opportunities like the Jim Bigham Elementary Track Championships & Drama Llama Day. Additionally, you will find information about our Teacher Request Policy, the Teacher Request Form (due by May 1st) and the Take Your Child to Work Day permission slip.

I know we have quite a bit packed into this newsletter. Please take a moment to review and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. If you know of any families interested in Yake for kindergarten or young fives in the fall, please feel free to share the newsletter and links. Particularly for families looking at Yake as their Building of Choice, they need to get registered ASAP. I am more than happy to speak with any prospective families and/or schedule building tours if they are interested.

Please join me in congratulating the students of the Woodhaven Theatre Company on another stellar showing at the 2026 MIFA State Theatre Finals last weekend. The WTC sent three productions this year.

The Short Play was recognized with the Bare Stage Brilliance award (which included a small grant for the company), Eurydice placed 2nd in the State in Division 1 Studio, and Wiley and the Hairy Man placed 1st in Division 1 Main Stage, earning Woodhaven's 4th straight State Championship!

Today we celebrate National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day — established in 2022 by the National Association of School Resource Officers to honor the incredible officers who serve inside our schools every single day.
In the Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, we are so grateful for our three outstanding SROs:
👮♂️ Raul Villarreal of the Woodhaven Police Department
👮♂️ Joe Mathews of the Brownstown Township Police Department
👮♂️ Bob McNamera of the Brownstown Township Police Department
School Resource Officers are so much more than law enforcement. They are mentors, educators, informal counselors, role models, and trusted adults. They build relationships, create safe learning environments, and help bridge the gap between students and law enforcement in meaningful ways.
Thank you, SRO Villarreal, SRO Mathews, and SRO McNamera, for the care, protection, guidance, and presence you bring to our schools each day. Our students, staff, and families are better because of you. 💙
