| 2019 Summer Reading Program - One Book, One District |
|
The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District knows that learning never ends and that the summer months can be challenging in keeping students engaged in learning. That's why we are once again urging families to participate in our "one book, one district" reading program. Elementary students brought home The Lemonade Wars" . We urge families to make time to read together this summer and enjoy the antics of the siblings and their summer adventures. When a whole school reads a book, there's a lot to talk about!

District Water Testing Results
The Woodhaven-Brownstown School District, as a proactive measure, contracted Arch Environmental Group to conduct drinking water tests for lead. AEG tested "first draw" and drinking water samples in all eight of the district's school buildings. We're pleased to report that water from all of the outlets tested well below levels established by the Environmental Protection Agency.
"The safety and well-being of our students and staff has always remained our top priority, so we are obviously pleased with the water resting results," said Superintendent Mark Greathead. "Arch Environmental has informed us that no further action is required and we would like to thank them for the thorough testing of the drinking water in our buildings." |
