Host a French Student from July 6 to 28!

Join other host families in welcoming fifteen French students ages 15 to 17 to our community for a short visit to make new friends, visit Washington, D.C., experience the American way of life, and improve their English. Host families will enjoy a unique, rewarding, educational, cultural, and fun summer experience!

Students will arrive at Dulles International Airport on July 6th, and will need host family volunteers to provide a spare bed, three meals a day, and a willingness to welcome a student into the normal rhythm and activities of their home for three weeks in this State Department approved homestay program.

Sightseeing trips to Washington, D.C., originating at the Vienna Metro Station, will be provided on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the French students and any interested host siblings.

The other days of the week are for the student to spend time with you, their host family, immersed in the American way of life. To help hosts juggle hosting with vacations, the student can travel with their host family on vacation or two families can share the hosting of one teen.

Don't miss this invaluable summer experience! If you are interested in hosting one of these students, please contact WTW HS parent, Kathleen DeCarlo, today at kdecarlo@verizon.net or 703-388-6525 for more information.

The Senior Awards Ceremony will take place on Friday, June 2, 2023, 9:45 – 11:15 am in the Woodson Auditorium.

Seniors who report receipt of a scholarship will have their name and scholarship (but not the amount) listed on a rolling slide and in our printed program. To report a scholarship, seniors should complete this survey. The survey closes on May 24, and can only be access by students, who must use their fcpsschools.net account to access it.

We ask that Seniors only report scholarships that they are actually using…not every scholarship they may have earned in total. Personal invitations will go out no later than May 24th to students who are receiving an award at the ceremony. All seniors, regardless of whether they are receiving an award or not, are invited to join us to celebrate their classmates. Dress code for the ceremony is business casual.

Please email our College & Career Specialist, Christine Lieb-Mosley, at cliebmosley@fcps.edu or our Director of Student Services, Josh Peters, at fjpeters@fcps.edu if you have any questions about the awards ceremony.

Woodson Drama

Little Shop of Horrors is the dark rock musical that grabbed audiences in the 80’s, and now it’s back at Woodson and bigger than ever! The musical centers on a hapless flower shop worker, Seymour, and his new exotic plant that happens to have a...particular diet. The mere presence of the plant in the window quickly brings traffic to the small shop, and the owner, Mushnik, promotes Seymour because of it. Seymour even finally catches the interest of Audrey, his coworker who's been stuck in a relationship with a sadistic dentist, Orin. All, it seems, because of the plant. But the plant's appetite continues to grow and grow. And it demands MORE! Surely this Faustian thing will stay in its pot and not cause trouble as long as Seymour keeps it happy, right? 

Performances:
Friday, May 5th at 7pm
Saturday, May 6th at 2pm and 7pm
Friday, May 12th at 7pm
Sunday, May 14th at 7pm

Tickets available online at wtwdrama.org!

CAVS SPORTS

Varsity Softball

The Woodson Varsity Softball team split its two games last week dropping a 6-5 out of district game at Hayfield on Monday then coming back on Tuesday to defeat Patriot District rival Fairfax 4-2.

At Hayfield, Woodson was led by Penny Elliott who went 3-3 including a 3-run homer to centerfield. 

Against Fairfax, Woodson pitcher Claire Warden earned a complete game victory, her third win of the season. Warden allowed 6 hits and struck out 3 Lions. Warden was helped in the field defensively by shortstop Sarah Banker who was responsible for 7 outs along with1 assist. Catcher Elizabeth Schneider also threw out a Fairfax runner stealing 2nd base. The bat of Elliott drove in 2 runs with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a double to center in the 3rd. Sam Klein also drove in a run with a line drive single to right in the first. Emma Fleming had a double and triple and scored a run. Schneider also chipped in with a line drive double to left field.

Varsity Baseball

The Woodson Varsity baseball team returned from spring break with a game against West Potomac. The host Wolverines used three hits, including a 2-run homer run in the 6th to score three and edge out to a 5-4 advantage. The Cavaliers rallied in the 7th to tie and send the game into extra innings; after a walk to Perks, a single by Santamauro, and Senior Co-Captain A.J. Viccora reaching base on an error. Senior Co-Captain Ryan Ramirez came in to pitch and held the Wolverines down for a couple of innings, but they used a single, a hit-batsman and a bunt single to score the winning run in the 8th inning.

Woodson next hosted the Robinson Rams. Junior Nate Moore pitched well early for Woodson, striking out three and yielding just two hits and two runs in three innings. The Cavaliers took the lead in the 4th using a Santamauro single, a booming double off the bat of Smallwood and a Moore single, for a 3-2 edge. But the Robinson bats proved to be too much for Woodson as the Rams scored five runs in the 5th, and five in the 7th en route to a 12-3 win.

Woodson then hosted the cross-city rival Fairfax Lions. Though down 8-5 late in the game, Woodson was not out. Smallwood had a good outing, giving up just three earned runs and striking out five in a little over five innings of work. Junior Sam Koutsouftikis got the final two outs of the 6th, while Senior Scott Durbin worked a scoreless 7th to keep Woodson close.

The Cavaliers launched a rally in the last half of the 7th and final inning. Smallwood reached on an error, Viccora walked, and Moore reached on an error to load the bases. Gordon hit a one-out single to bring Woodson within two, and Conklin followed with his own single to tie things at eight. After an intentional walk loaded the bases again, Santamauro grounded one through the right side to drive in the winning run in the 9-8 walk-off victory. Santamauro led the way for the Woodson hitters with three hits and four runs-batted in, while Conklin added three hits and two RBIs, and Gordon had two hits and two RBIs.

Woodson was back at it a few days later when they hit the road to take on the South County Stallions. Ramirez came in relief for the Cavaliers in the 2nd and was fantastic. He used a beautiful pick-off move in the 2nd to quell one rally, and retired 10 of the first 12 hitters that he faced. 

The Cavaliers offense was paced by Santamauro and Perks who had two hits apiece. Ramirez was masterful in his five innings of work, striking out three and yielding no hits to South County.

The Stallions got two aboard in the 6th, but Ramirez managed to steer out of further trouble. Woodson, however, was unable to score the equalizing run and fell 2-1 for its sixth 1-run loss of the season, and its fourth in the Patriot District.
