Baccalaureate--THIS SUNDAY, JUNE 10th, 2pm in the Woodson Auditorium
Seniors
and Families of Seniors! You won't want to miss your 2018 Baccalaureate,
planned by Seniors and sponsored by the PTSO on Sunday, June 10 at 2pm in the
Woodson Auditorium.
RSVP
In order to accurately plan, we encourage everyone who is
attending to RSVP at https://baccalaureate2018.eventbrite.com by June 5. Even
if you’ve told us verbally that you plan to attend, we still need you to RSVP online using the link provided.
Baccalaureate
is an interfaith, inclusive program with music and inspirational messages to
the Senior class. It's a wonderful opportunity for reflection on your
achievements and on the future as you move toward the next chapter of your
life. It's also the only time for seniors to wear their cap and gown at
Woodson; a photographer will be available after the program.
PARENTS OF UNDERCLASS AND SENIORS
The PTSO is asking for donations of finger foods for
the reception after Baccalaureate. Please sign up on the following link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0449afac2b0-wtwclass1
Thank you!
Cav Cruise
The Cav Cruise (Woodson’s All Night Grad Party) is
in jeopardy of a major scale back.
We know that graduation is on a work night, but we are now at a critical
juncture where the scale of the party is in jeopardy of needing to be reduced
due to lack of volunteers. We really do not want to have to do this, however,
we are short 100 volunteers. We need the cooperation of ALL CLASSES to make
this happen. It is great fun for the volunteers, as well as the seniors, and
the time goes by very fast.
SIGN UP
TO HELP HERE!
If you have questions about
any of the jobs, email cavcruisevolunteers@gmail.com. Many thanks to those who have already signed up to help!
FOOD DONATIONS: WE ARE STILL IN
NEED OF FOOD, BEVERAGE, FOOD GIFT CARD DONATIONS (grocery store,
Chick Fil A and/or Papa Johns pizza) AND MONETARY DONATIONS from friends, families,
and/or businesses.

If you purchased a gift card (thank
you!), please contact Elissa Kon
to arrange delivery. FOOD/DRINK DROP OFF: Please drop off non-perishable
donations at the WTW teachers' lounge, in the main office, on June 7, 8, 11, or
12th (until 3pm on the 12th), or contact elissakon33@gmail for other arrangements.
REGISTRATION: Register
your child now! $100 per ticket.

Career Center
Volunteers Needed
Many or our Woodson Career Center (CC) parent volunteers are graduating
this year. CC volunteers have a unique opportunity to learn about the
post-secondary research and the application process during their volunteer
shifts.
Parents of rising 9th and 10th grade students especially benefit because
they will feel more comfortable when it is time for their students to embark on
post-secondary research. To provide consistency, volunteers are asked to commit
to a shift for an entire academic year. Interested parents can sign up at https://tinyurl.com/CC-Volunteer-18-19.
Register by or before Monday, June 4th for best consideration.

With
their state championship win, W.T. Woodson’s Women’s Junior Eight and Women’s
Lightweight Eight qualified for SRAA, an invitational regatta and competed
against boats from Florida, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Arizona,DC,
Virginia and other states.
The
Women’s Lightweight 8 (W-LT-8) placed 1st in their heat with the second fastest
time in the W-LT-8 heats advancing them to the finals! They fought hard in the
finals missing third place by less than one second but are a respectable 4th in
the Nation. Congratulations to J. Hissong, J. Kim, M. Korn, M. Rowe, R. Smith,
G. Schneider, K. Taheri, K. Howard, and H. Cole (Coxswain).
The
Women’s Junior 8 (W-JR-8) placed 5th in their heat. Even though they did not
advance to the semi-finals, they remain the fastest boat from Virginia! We
congratulate C. Moore, N. Curtis, A. Pesansky, C. Middleton, S. Boucher, I.
Kogan, N. Moran, J. Heimbigner, and L. Benjelloun (Coxswain).
Girls Varsity Soccer
Occoquan 6C Region Champions!!!! With consecutive 2 – 0 gritty victories
at TC Williams and at rival South County, the Lady Cavaliers were crowned
region champs. In the TC game, Allison Kumar blocked a clearing kick by the
Titans goalie, the ball popped out, and Kate Herz headed it in from 10 yards
out for the 1 to 0 lead. In the 2nd half, Chloe Dawson connected on a free kick
from 30 yards out that hit the cross bar and bounced off the goalie’s back and
into the net. Faith Stynchula and Emily Wiggins shut down the two Titan
Division 1 commits and Jordan Silkowitz had some tremendous saves throughout. In
the championship game against the Stallions, Wiggins leapt over the moon and
back on a corner kick from Dawson and headed one in with 28 minutes left in the
game. With 14 minutes left, Sydney Kulenguski drew a free kick, and scored on a
header off a scrum in front from the free kick taken by Faith Stynchula. The Cavaliers will host Chantilly on Tuesday,
June 5 in the Virginia State quarterfinals.
Girls Varsity Lacrosse
Congratulations to WTWGLAX for
their Regional Championship win over West Potomac 26-9! WestPo scored first and
kept it competitive until, at 8-7 with three minutes left, WTW had a five-goal
run to end the half 13-7. Logan Dougherty had a season high nine goals with
three assists and Margaret Stephan had a season-high twelve draw-controls. WTW
had another strong win in the first round of state playoffs against Herndon
23-6. The Cavs dominated possession with nineteen draw-controls, nine
take-aways and not a single turnover. Cassia Kruse (5G) and Devin Alsup (4G)
scored season-high goals. Defenders Sydney Andes, Rachel Williams (1A), Maddie
Stedham, Sarah Wilson and Annie Reeves were outstanding in protecting goalies
Mariel Russ and Catherine Gross. Scoring for the week came from Logan Dougherty
(13G/10A), Natalie Gates (10G), Cassia Kruse (7G), Carlie Hartung (3G/3A), Sara
Cordia (1G), Margaret Stephan (8G/3A), Devin Alsup (4G), Campbell Brown (4A)
