However you choose to join, 100% of your contribution goes straight to the work we do to support the Woodson teachers and community. The PTSO supports many important initiatives at Woodson, including a grant program, teacher and staff appreciation programs, and community support programs. However, we can’t carry out these programs without your support!!
Ways to Support the PTSO
You can choose from a variety of membership levels, including Individual, Family or Friend of Woodson memberships. New this year, we are also offering small business memberships that include chances to advertise your business to the Woodson community. Questions? Please email us at WoodsonHSPTSO@gmail.com
Back to School Night
Woodson’s Back to School Night is this Thursday, September 4th. Families will have the opportunity to gather key information for the year and follow their student’s schedule to meet teachers. Please be sure to stop by the PTSO table in the library to purchase a membership and learn more about what we do.

C.G. Woodson Band Tag Day- September 6
The Marching Cavaliers will be coming to your neighborhood on Saturday, September 6!
On Tag Day, students go door-to-door to homes in the Woodson area asking for donations to support band activities. This is, by far, the largest fundraiser for the C.G. Woodson Band. Contributions go towards marching band show design, music & band instrument purchases & repairs, and assistance to students with financial needs, just to name a few. Donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
So be on the lookout for the Marching Cavaliers on Saturday, Sept. 6. This is a rain or shine event. They do pay close attention to “No Soliciting” signs. They will not stop by those houses. So if you would like a visit, please make sure you take down or turn around your sign if you have one. Thank you in advance for your consideration!
Woodson Math Center
The Woodson Math Center opens on Tuesday, September 2nd. Students can come by B208 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00 - 3:45 pm to receive free peer math tutoring. Snacks will be provided!

The Woodson Cavalier Coed Golf Team got the season off to a great start on last week with a victory over the West Springfield Spartans at Penderbrook.
