PTSO Grants

Thanks in part to a PTSO Grant, The Woodson Robotics team (Cavbotics) has been able to participate in local competitions where most recently they won first place! Cavbotics allows students to develop STEM capabilities and experience different fields of STEM through competitions and real-world experiences.

Every Fall and Spring, the PTSO opens up our grant programs to the Woodson community, thanks to your generous donations. Our goal is to fulfill as many requests as we can. Please consider donating towards our grant program so that groups like Cavbotics can grow and thrive.

The All Night Grad Party Needs Your Help!

Sign up here to volunteer at the all night grad party. It’s a Cavalier tradition that freshman, sophomore, and junior parents help out with the event to “pay it forward” for when their own kids are celebrating. It’s a really fun night and we provide free food, drinks, and COFFEE all night! If you can’t stay up all night, there are still roles you can help with.
