January is National Thank You Month—a time to reflect on those who’ve made an impact in our lives and express gratitude.

We are so thankful for your dedication to our students and community. Your efforts inspire learning, growth, and compassion every day.

Kick off January by getting up to date on our Did You Know video series produced by Wayne-Westland Community Schools that follows Interim Superintendent Catherine Cost, Ed.D. as she visits schools, departments and programs across the district. Along the way, we highlight the dedicated staff, departments, and programs that show how, in Wayne-Westland, Great Futures Start Right Here.

As we approach the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued support of our schools. This time of year is a wonderful reminder of the strength of our community — a community that consistently comes together to support our students, staff, and one another.
