New Staff Alert! We're excited to welcome Rachel Younglove to WLPS as a Primary Montessori Assistant Teacher at Go Like the Wind Montessori School!

A graduate of Land O' Lakes High School and the University of Florida, Rachel was drawn to WLPS because of its positive and supportive approach to early childhood education. She's looking forward to getting to know her students and colleagues and becoming part of the GLTW community.

Rachel hopes to bring her passion for creativity and self-expression to the classroom. Outside of school, she enjoys arts and crafts, reading, thrifting and spending time with her family — including her 13-year-old Chihuahua mix, Zoey!

Please join us in giving Rachel a warm Trojan welcome! ❤️🤍

New Staff Alert! We're excited to welcome Magdalyn Hubbard to WLPS as an Upper Elementary Assistant Teacher at Go Like the Wind Montessori School!

A graduate of Ludington High School and the University of Michigan, Magdalyn was drawn to WLPS by the opportunity to join a close-knit community where she can build meaningful connections with students and make an impact. She's especially excited to make some fun memories with her students this year!

Magdalyn also brings a strong art background to her role and is excited to share that creativity and perspective with students. Outside of school, she enjoys art, walks and picnics at the park, and spending time with her partner and their cat. And with fall as her favorite season, back-to-school time is right up her alley!

Please join us in giving Magdalyn a warm Trojan welcome! ❤️🤍

New Role Alert! We're excited to celebrate Brooke Collick as she steps into a new role at the Whitmore Lake Early Childhood Center as our Family and Classroom Support Coordinator!

Brooke has been part of WLPS for six years, beginning as a Head Start assistant before becoming a GSRP assistant and, most recently, a floater supporting classrooms throughout the ECC. Now, she's bringing that experience, along with nearly 13 years of working with families, to her new role. She is excited to support families in new ways, connect them with helpful resources and share the impact our early childhood programs can have.

Outside of work, Brooke loves baking, spending time with the "zoo" of animals at her house and reading — sometimes as many as 100 books a year!

Please join us in congratulating Brooke on her new role!

New Role Alert! We're excited to celebrate Charlie Basham as she steps into a new role as Montessori Operations and Family Services Coordinator at our Montessori school, Go Like the Wind Montessori School!

This October will mark Charlie's 17th year at WLPS! She began as the Family Service Worker at the Early Childhood Center and has taken on many roles along the way, including McKinney-Vento liaison, foster care liaison, truancy coordinator, Title IX coordinator, My Future Fund liaison and recycling coordinator. Now, she's bringing that wealth of experience to support students and families at our Main Street Campus.

Charlie is especially excited to get to know the children at Go Like the Wind Montessori and watch them grow from babies into elementary students.

Outside of work, Charlie loves Korean dramas and K-pop. She's seen Stray Kids in concert twice and is even learning Korean in hopes that someday she won't need the subtitles!

After nearly 17 years and quite the collection of job titles, Charlie says she plans to stick with WLPS until retirement — and she's curious to see how many more roles she'll add to the list by then. ❤️🤍

Please join us in congratulating Charlie on her newest WLPS adventure!
