Hi Wildcats,
We can’t wait to see you later this week for our own Woodburn Thanksgiving. Not only is this is community of care and compassion, but of higher level thinking and perseverance. You would be quite pleased with how diligent our staff members are working to bring the best possible educational experience for our kiddos. The professional opportunities that we are afforded coupled with the high intellect from our teachers allows for strong synergy within our Woodburn walls. As we come together for these seven academic days before Thanksgiving, we are excited to build on our first quarter of progress and utilize our newest skills to make learning come alive.
Together We Grow,
Kelley and Matt
