Thank you to our amazing PTA for all they have done this year to keep us connected and Woodburn strong! 


Dear Woodburn Families, 

Thank you for joining us at this week's PTA meeting.  It was wonderful to have our school counselors, Ms. Coury and Ms. Gannon, share information about the social and emotional supports we offer our students.  We all stand ready to support every one of our wildcats and encourage you to reach out to us and our student support team at any time . 

Next week brings the start of the third quarter.  We are proud of all that our students have accomplished during the first semester and are excited for all that is to come! 

We hope you stay safe and enjoy the weekend. 

Sincerely, 

Katy and Bridget
