Woodburn Families,
We are wrapping up our final full week of school and the building is buzzing! This week, grade levels held various celebrations of learning and engaged in fun culminating activities. Yesterday, we celebrated the graduating class of 2024 as Wildcat alumni walked the Woodburn halls, and last night we kept our $10,000 promise and slept on the roof! Thank you to all who joined us for our goodnight story.
Today all grade levels will participate in a Wildcat favorite, Field Day! Thank you, teachers and families, for planning wonderful end of year celebrations. More fun to come next week!
Together We Grow,
Katy and Kelley

Patricia Deale, Special Education Department Chair
After two years of being the Special Education Department Chair at Woodburn, I will be transitioning to a new position in the county as a Special Education Instructional Mentor Coach. I am excited to continue to share my love for special education with new special education teachers as they enter the teaching world.
Victoria Meshanko, 3rd Grade Teacher
After 11 years in the classroom, I have decided to transition to supporting teachers and students with behavior, procedures, and routines at a school in need. Woodburn has been a wonderful home for the last 5 years. I have made so many amazing friendships and have felt love and support from the community and school. I will miss all the smiling, growing students who have passed through my door and passed me in the hallway. This school and community are doing the right work. ❤️
Estefani Pierola, 1st Grade Teacher
I have loved being back and teaching first grade at Woodburn this year. I will not be teaching next school year. The students at this school are amazing and hold a special place in my heart.
Chelsea Raineri, PE Teacher
As a first year teacher, Woodburn has held a special place in my heart. Our students, your children, have taught me more then I could’ve ever imagined and I will forever be grateful to have gotten to help them learn and grow into better versions of themselves. As I venture to working at the High School level, I will be sure to take what I have learned to help elevate the stage and create opportunities for my new students. A HUGE shout out to our administrative team and of course Mr. Shirley for guiding me on this journey to be the best I can be for your children. GO WILDCATS!!
Lizzy Waxler, ESOL Teacher
Hello Woodburn Community! It has been an honor to work with you and your students for the past three years. Next year, my journey continues at Poe Middle School, where I will be teaching 6th grade ESOL math.
