West Bloomfield High School band program attended the University of Michigan's Band-O-Rama Concert. The students had the privilege of watching performances by the University of Michigan Concert Band, Symphony Band, and Michigan Marching Band. It was wonderful to see former Lakers performing in the program (Shiho Kashiwagi-Wood '25, Harshitha Sankaranarayanan '25, Kylie Harmala '23, and Cameron Hegarty '26).

West Bloomfield Middle School Robotics is seeking community and corporate partners to help support our growing student robotics teams. Competitive robotics requires ongoing funding for state-of-the-art materials, equipment, technology, research and development, team supplies, and competition expenses. Access to strong resources allows our students to design, test, problem-solve, innovate, and remain competitive against other robotics programs.

WBSD continues to invest in the future of robotics and STEAM education, including the new STEAM/CTE wing being developed at West Bloomfield High School. Supporting WBMS Robotics helps strengthen the pathway for students to develop these skills before continuing into future STEAM opportunities at the high school level and beyond.

If you are a parent, staff member, retiree, or community member who works for, or has a connection to, a company that offers STEM or robotics grants, employee matching gifts, volunteer grants, scholarships, or team sponsorship opportunities, we would love to hear from you.

Local businesses and individuals interested in donating or sponsoring our teams are also encouraged to connect with us.

Know of a sponsorship opportunity or interested in supporting WBMS Robotics? Please contact Community Education to connect with us. Email Kevin McIntosh at kevin.mcintosh@wbsd.org

WBMS Robotics team, Robogators, recently took a break from coding and building their robot to attend the Keego HarBOO Trick or Treat event. This was a great way for residents to learn about robotics at the middle school level and for our team to introduce themselves to the community.

Coats are donated to families of West Bloomfield School District. Thank you for your support!
