Woodburn Families, 

We are living our best lives as one Woodburn community! Our PTA Silent Auction and Bingo Night was a great success. The PTA raised close to $5,000! This money will be added to the PTA playground enhancement fund. 

Our spring break spirit week kept us going as did 2nd grade's field trip to the National History Museum and 6th grade's trip to Gettysburg. We look forward to jumping back into learning as we start the 4th quarter. 

We hope your spring break is all that you and your family want and need it to be. See you on April 3rd!

Together We Grow,

Katy & Kelley
