Our 2nd Annual Hicks Homecoming was a huge success! After a school wide vote, Ryder and Ty’Rah were voted Homecoming Prince and Princess! The cheerleaders rallied the crowd! Both football teams were cheered on by their fans! But probably, the best moment of all was meeting our new Hawks mascot…name coming soon! Every student got free books from our special book fair plus some were lucky enough to win snacks via the raffle! Again today, It’s a Great Day to be a Hawk!

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,
I want to assure all of you that, despite what is happening in Lansing and Washington, D.C., regarding both budgets. As you likely know, the state Legislature passed a Continuation Budget that will keep the state government open through October 8, 2025. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., lawmakers failed to reach a budget deal, and a federal shutdown is now in effect. While this means our funding remains in question, the Board of Education and district leaders thoughtfully allocated resources so there would be no disruption for our students.

The Wayne-Westland Wrap Up
Dear Wayne-Westland Families,
What a great start to the school year! I have enjoyed visiting our schools and seeing our students engaged, motivated, and learning every day. It’s inspiring to see the energy, enthusiasm, and dedication demonstrated by our students and staff. Great things are happening across our district.
