The Student Lighthouse team will be collecting Pop Tabs for the Ronald McDonald House of Detroit. The collection will take place until Jan. 31.
The pop tops will be used by RMHD to buy supplies for guests. The RMHD allows families to stay close while their children are hospitalized.
Please send all donations of Pop Tabs to your child's teacher. The Student Lighthouse Team will collect them from there!
Please direct any questions to Mrs. Bosman bosmanl@wbsdweb.com.
Thank you!
We do not do early dismissal pick-ups after 3:30pm. If you need to pick up your child early, please make arrangements to do so prior to 3:30pm.

Student Birthday Policy:
Recognizing your child’s birthday is important to us and we understand the importance of celebrating their special day with their classmates. However, sending in a food treat to the classroom can exclude those children who have food allergies or other dietary restrictions. For this reason, and in efforts to promote healthy lifestyles for our students, we respectfully ask that cupcakes and other food items NOT be brought into the classroom as a way of celebrating students’ birthdays. Think about a book to donate to the classroom, a board game or sports balls or equipment for the kids to use during outdoor recess. Please consult with your child’s teacher before your child’s birthday for good suggestions on what you could bring to celebrate.
