Announcing the Cav Cupboard to serve Woodson families in need
Over the past few years, we have seen an increase in financial hardship and food insecurity in the Woodson community. In response, Woodson High School is opening Cav Cupboard, a pantry that will provide food and other household needs to our families in need. The pantry will be used by appointment only and managed by the school counselors in a discreet and respectful way. Thanks to a partnership with Britepaths, generous financial support from Karen Rasmussen, and support of the Woodson Administration, we have secured a location, shelving and a wagon and are now ready to stock the pantry in time to make the first distributions before the end of the school year when families struggle without the help of free school breakfast and lunch. Please read below to learn how you can help stock Cav Cupboard.
HELP STOCK THE CAV CUPBOARD for families in need:
Click here to visit the Cav Cupboard Amazon Wishlist – all items that you purchase will be delivered directly to Woodson High School and directed to the Cav Cupboard.
You can also donate gift cards for local grocery stores, Walmart, Amazon. All gift cards should be dropped off at the front office and marked to the attention of the Cav Cupboard/Maria Giuliani.
Please consider helping with this important effort as the school year comes to a close.
Special thanks to Cav Cupboard Founding Staff Members:
Katilin Collier- Social Worker, CSS
Maria Giuliani- Family Liaison
Laura Totoro- Systems of Support Advisor
John Scholla- Systems of Support Advisor

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.

CAVS SPORTS
Boys Varsity Lacrosse
The Woodson Cavaliers traveled to Lake Braddock on Monday, May 5th to tackle the Bruins of Lake Braddock for the 2nd round of District Play-Offs. Our Cavs fought hard & fought strong, but was not quite enough to defeat the eventual Patriot District Champions of Lake Braddock. A huge shout out to the WHOLE team for their efforts against LBSC! But, recognition is owed to Junior Will Eby for 1 goal & 1 assist, Senior Walker Smith for 1 goal & 1 assist, Junior Cameron Marks for 3 goals, Senior Leo Lee for 1 goal and Senior Chris Kang for 2 assists!
The Woodson Cavaliers hosted the 1st round of Regionals @ WTW on Tuesday, May 16th vs. Fairfax High School. Another rainy game did not dampen our boys’ efforts, fight & skills! The boys pulled off a victory, winning 14-3! Shout out to the entire defense for their never ending efforts and to our Goalie, Adian Dash for stopping many, many shots on the WTW goal! Additional shout outs to players - Junior Will Eby with 3 goals and 1 assist, Senior Walker Smith with 3 goals, Senior Chris Kang with 1 goal, Sophomore Soren Ebbeson with 1 assist, Junior Carlos Ramirez with 1 goal & 1 assist, Junior Cameron Marks with 5 goals & 1 assist, Senior Nate Lester with 1 assist, and last, but certainly, not least - Freshman, Roman Braswell for a goal off of a strategic assist from Cameron Marks!
Well played boys! The team won their 2nd round of Occoquan Regionals agains Hayfield last night! They'll play next at Robinson in the semifinals! Good luck, Cavs!!
Varsity Baseball
The Woodson Varsity baseball team started its playoff baseball season with a Patriot District quarterfinal game at West Springfield. Senior Scott Durbin started for the Cavaliers and benefitted from a nice double-play in the bottom of the 1st when Senior Co-Captain Brandon Shelhorse caught a line drive and threw to Shortstop Adestan Gordon to second to double the runner off the bag. Durbin then retired the next 12 hitters in a row.
Woodson got things going offensively in the 7th. Senior Co-Captain Ben Smallwood ended a streak of 17 straight Cavalier outs by crushing a booming double to left. Junior Nate Moore singled him to third, and a walk loaded the bases. Senior Owen Fisher hit a clutch sacrifice fly to right to give Woodson a 1-0 edge. The Spartans got the win, but the Cavs played stellar defense and Durbin was fantastic again on the hill; yielding just four hits,striking out three, and walking just two batters.
Woodson had little time to rest as it began the Occoquan Region playoffs with a trip to visit the Thomas Jefferson (TJ) Colonials. Junior Ethan Conklin got things going by reaching base on an error, stole second and scored on a single by Gordon. Smallwood started for Woodson and made quick work of the Colonials, giving up just one hit over four innings.
The Cavaliers rallied to 5-0 in the 5th. TJ finally got on the board in the 5th with a double and single to plate a run before Smallwood induced a grounder to end the threat. The Cavaliers took advantage of a double play to record the first two outs in the 7th before Smallwood fanned the next hitter to end the game. Smallwood struck out 12 on the night, his most ever as a high school pitcher. Gordon led the hitting attack with three hits while Santamauro added two of his own.
Congratulations to these Cavaliers named to the Patriot District All-District Team: First Team first base - Shelhorse, First Team Outfield - Santamauro, Second Team Pitcher - Smallwood, and several Honorable Mention players, including Outfielder Conklin, Junior Outfielder Andrew Perks, Senior Catcher A.J. Viccora, Senior Pitcher Durbin, and Senior Pitcher Ryan Ramirez.
Boys Tennis
The team fell to a tough Thomas Jefferson team last week in the Occoquan Regional Final to finish as runners-up in the region. The team next advances to the state tournament next week. Last night, Ryan Battaglia won his quarterfinal Regionals Singles match, and Nam Duong and Ryan Battaglia won their Regional Doubles quarterfinal match. Come out to Fairfax HS today at 3:30 to cheer them on in their semifinal matches. Go CAVS!
Crew
The crew team traveled to Philadelphia, PA to participate in The Stotesbury Cup Regatta this last weekend. Stotesbury has been held continuously since 1927 - so it is the largest and oldest high school regatta in the United States. This year, 184 schools attended, with 4,274 athletes fielded in 896 boats. Your Cavaliers had an amazing few days of races and even made Woodson history when the Girls 2nd Varsity 8+ made finals and placed 4th overall. 4 of the 7 boats we raced made the semi-finals and we definitely put the WT Woodson name on the tip of everyone’s tongues. We have one more regatta next weekend to finish off the season - SRAA Nationals for the Women’s 1V and 2V boats!
Girls Lacrosse
Woodson girls’ lacrosse wins 2023 Patriot District Title!
The Wodson girls’ lacrosse team entered the Patriot District lacrosse tournament as the 2nd seed. In the 1st round, the Cavaliers faced off against the Fairfax Lions at home. Woodson had the game under control, winning 15 to 1. The entire Woodson team saw action including the JV squad call-ups. The Lady Cavs were back at home at Pat Cunningham stadium playing against the West Potomac Wolverines for the 2nd round of the tournament. The Wolverines took an early 3 - 0 lead, but Woodson was able to score two before the half. Senior Jillian Ferrari dominated draw controls in the 2nd half, keeping ball control and offensive momentum firmly in Woodson’s favor. Outstanding shooting by Senior Genna Cooke, and Juniors Alex Walrath and Reese Cuviello put the Cavs ahead. The Cavs beat the Wolverines 9 to 5 and moved on to the district championship game.
The district championship game took Woodson to the number one seeded cross-town rival Robinson Rams. Woodson’s defense led by seniors Caitlin Tran, Sophia White, and Juniors Ella Mathias, Jaime Ellenberger, stifled Robinsons high scoring offense through solid one on one, and defensive back up play. Woodson jumped out to an early lead. A few Woodson turnovers kept the game close, but Woodson was able to stay ahead and defeated Robinson 11 to 9 for the Patriot District Title.
The Lady Cavs played Lake Braddock in the Occoquan Regional quarterfinals on Monday.
