X2VOL
Volunteer Hours Tracking System - Student Training
Wednesday March 21st and April 18th
in F105 after school. Fairfax County provides schools with a
digital tool for tracking volunteer hours called x2VOL, and WTW is using it. Woodson
now tracks volunteer hours for both service learning, which may result in a
service learning cord worn at graduation, and general community service hours,
which may result in a diploma seal for excellence in civics and education given
by the Virginia State Board of Education. Students should take advantage of
this opportunity to learn how to use x2VOL. (Information from the March
9, 2018 Career Center Newsletter).
A 6-minute video about X2VOL is available at http://www.ebmcdn.net/fcps/fcps_video_viewer.php?viewnode=b6fc74a452351.
Prom Dresses
Does your teen need a prom dress? If so, you're in luck! Mrs. Sussy
Tomer, Woodson's Parent Liaison, has collected formal dresses to give to
students in need. Please have your child ask for a pass to stop by Room E108
(across from the attendance office) to pick out a free dress. Mrs. Tomer is in
her office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-1:00pm and on
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30am-2:30pm.
Also, if you have a prom/formal dress or party shoes that you are no
longer going to use, please bring them to Ms. Tomer so that she can add them to
the collection.
Please contact Mrs. Tomer at setomer@fcps.edu
or 703-503-4792 if you have any questions.

Girls Varsity
Lacrosse
The Cavs had a strong start to their season against Oakton this week. Woodson
scored first during the second minute of the game but Oakton answered back on a
breakaway. The teams traded goals in what appeared to be a competitive game
that was tied 4-4 after ten minutes. But the offense tightened up their passing
and worked hard on the ride and the defense improved positioning on double
teams and started pressuring the ball outside the arc to give Woodson a 7-4
lead at half-time. The Cavs dominated the second half scoring ten goals to Oakton’s
one for a final score of 17-5. The majority of the Cavs goals were assisted
demonstrating great teamwork and ball movement. Goals were scored by Natalie
Gates (4), Logan Dougherty (1), Carlie Hartung (2), Maddie Stedham (1),
Margaret Stephan (6), Campbell Brown (2) and Katherine Friedman (1).
Boys JV Lacrosse
After two scrimmages, the boys’ JV Lacrosse season officially started on last Tuesday in a game against Oakton High School. While the final score (4-10) resulted in the first loss of the season, the Cavaliers played hard and as a team through the last second of the game. Sean Gibson and Jack Cooke each scored once and Thomas Eby hit the net twice. The Cavs will face Patriot HS at home on Friday (16 March) and will play away against South County HS April 6th. The full schedule is posted on https://wtwoodsonsports.org/- plan to cheer on the Cavaliers this season!
WTW Girls Varsity
Soccer
On Monday, March 12, the girl’s varsity soccer team opened the 2018
campaign with a 0–0 tie against the McLean Highlanders. It was a cold evening
capped off by a snow flurry. The defense, led by center back Faith Stynchula
stood strong and limited the Highlanders to a few scoring chances that were
deftly thwarted by keeper Jordan Silkowitz. Defender Marin Kulenguski “megged”
2 different Highlander players and stopped any McLean momentum (to the loud
cheers of the boys varsity team watching). The Cavaliers opened the 2nd half
with lots of pressure, but it wasn’t to be. Injuries kept a number of players
on the sidelines for the game, but the team hopes to be closer to full strength
when they host the South County Stallions on Tuesday, March 20 and the Thomas
Jefferson Colonials on Thursday, March 22. It’s going to be a great season – go
Cavaliers!!!
Boys Varsity
Soccer
WTW Varsity Soccer started off the season with a victory against McLean.
It was a highly anticipated game, with first year Coach Sean Burke at the helm,
ten Seniors, and a host of talented underclassmen. The first half had both teams
going head-to-head with no score, thanks to a great save by Goalie Eli Smolen
in the 18th minute, and strong defense lead by Will Noecker, and backed up by
Tyler French, Ethan Robey and Owen Williams. In the 2nd half, Fabio Salido
entered the game and changed the tempo of Woodson’s play. He gracefully moved
the ball up the left flank to Daniel Kang, who took a winning shot, resulting in
a 1-0 lead for Woodson. Midfielders Pierre Richard and Bruno Da Silva helped to
hold McLean at bay the remainder of the game, and Goalie Connor Brennan made a
super save, solidifying Woodson’s 1st victory on the road.
