Dear Woodburn Families,
Thank you for celebrating the 100th day and Kindness Week with us! We know kindness goes well beyond a spirit week and will continue to celebrate and recognize your child's kind acts each and every day.
There is so much happening across the school and we want to give a few shout-outs. We always forget someone so please don't hesitate to reach out to any and all staff members you want to celebrate.
- Our 100th day celebration was great. Our math committee did a wonderful job planning and organizing. Thank you, Ms. Ettere, for the amazing video.
- Kindness Week was a hit. A huge thank you to our Student Leadership Council who worked so hard to organize this event. The building was buzzing!
- Our WIDA testing is running smoothly. This is because of our amazing ESOL team and Ms. Dauberman. Thank you.
We hope you enjoy the long weekend. Happy Presidents' Day!
Together We Grow,
Katy & Elizabeth
