2. PTSO News
Save the Date!
The first PTSO meeting of the 2024-2025 school year will be on Tuesday, September 3rd, 7pm-8pm. This meeting will be held in person in the Woodson Library. All other meetings throughout the year will be held virtually.
Please join us on Tuesday for a meet and greet and social!
Dear Woodson Families,
We are so excited to start another school year together!
The PTSO has several initiatives we are already rolling out and we could use your help with:
- Opening our fall grant program to all students/parents and teachers
- Providing additional support to our military families
- Stocking up our pantry for our Woodson families in need
- (and more in the months to come!)
To meet these goals, we need your support.
Please consider donating to the PTSO. We are making it easy this year with PayPal, just click here!
As a parent, if you donate $30 you get an automatic membership so make sure to add your first name, last name and email in the notes and we will register you!
Want to donate $75? That's two adult memberships so add both names and we will discount the student membership from $10 to $5!
If you don't have PayPal that's OK - we also have our Woodson PTSO site that will take donations. Click here!
Questions? Please email Sara at saralmastro@yahoo.com or our membership director Megan, at woodsonmembers@gmail.com.
We look forward to a great year together.

The All Night Grad Party NEEDS YOU!
Every year, Woodson celebrates our graduates with a drug and alcohol free all night party to keep our teens off the roads and safe. It’s a Cavalier tradition that freshman, sophomore, and junior parents organize the event to “pay it forward” for when their own kids are celebrating. But this fabulous event can’t happen without a planning committee!
Can you help? Email woodsonangp@gmail.com to volunteer or find out more!

 The Woodson Cavaliers won both of their first Patriot District coed golf matches last week. Team score was 149 for Woodson versus 174 for Lake Braddock away at Twin Lakes. The team's strong start continued with the first home match of the season yielding a victory over West Potomac, 158-160. Students representing Woodson in these matches included Han Lee, Mark Heinz, Aurora Yoo, Bobby Kay, Joseph Tso, Andrew Sung, Krish Stauber, Alex Ericksen, Hunter Smith and James Gross. Against Lake Braddock - Lee, Heinz, Yoo and Kay each posted solid nine-hole scores in the 30’s with none worse than 3 over par for the day. Against West Potomac, top score honors went to Han Lee with an even par round featuring an eagle on the 7th hole. Go Woodson!

6. Woodson Clubs & Organizations
Chorus: Uniform Fittings
We have Uniform Fittings on 9/4 and 9/11 from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. We need a few parents on both nights to help with the process of distributing and finding the right sizes for the kids. If you can be at the Woodson Chorus room arriving between 6:00 and 6:15 pm either of those nights and stay until 8:30, please add your name to this sign up: Uniform Fitting Sign Up Genius
How to prepare for fittings:
1) Have your student fill out the Google form indicating which items they need. If they do not need anything, please have them indicate that on the form. All chorus students should fill out the Google form. Use this link or the form in Schoology.
2) Help your student complete the fitting information form and make sure they bring it to their fitting appointment.
3) Have your student sign up for their fitting appointment in the Chorus Room (9/4 or 9/11 from 6:30 to 8:30 pm).
4) PAY for the items you are renting or purchasing for your student from Woodson Chorus via My School Bucks. The pricing has been updated for this year, and the items are now ready for purchase. You will not receive an invoice for chorus uniform items. You will need to select them yourself. They are listed under “Chorus Attire and Accessories” within the “Band, Orchestra, Choir, Guitar” group. If items have not been paid for, they cannot be ordered.
