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!

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.
