Woodburn Families, 

We had the best start to the week. It was great to come together as a school community and observe the solar eclipse. It feels like one of those experiences our students will remember for years to come. Thank you, Walsh Family and the National Science Foundation for making this possible.

Thank you, PTA, for last night's meeting. There are many fun activities coming up. The Spring Dance is only two weeks away!

Together We Grow,

Katy & Kelley

Our Teacher Appreciation Raffle is Back!

Teacher Appreciation Week starts on Monday, May 6.  Each year, we collect gift cards from families to raffle off to our staff. Our goal is to collect one gift card for each instructional staff member (teachers, instructional assistants, and specialists). We hope you might consider donating a gift card to be raffled off during this special week. 

Gift cards can be brought to the main office. Please put them in an envelope with your child's name as we want to extend our thanks to all who donate.  Thank you for helping us celebrate our incredible staff!
