Grant Applications
Woodson High School PTSO Grant Application Now Open!
Submission Deadline: October 3rd, 2025
You can access the grant application here (NOTE: The application link will open on the evening of September 17th). The Woodson PTSO Grant Program is open to students and teachers seeking funding for projects that benefit the Woodson High School community. All applications must be reviewed or discussed with a Woodson teacher, club sponsor, or department head prior to submission. Our grants are funded through PTSO memberships and donations from our school community. While we aim to support as many initiatives as possible, the amount awarded depends on the current PTSO budget.
For questions, please contact Caren Lee, Grants Program Director, at carenl1@gmail.com. Thank you!

Woodson Library Community Service Opportunity
The Woodson Library provides a valuable opportunity for your student to earn community service hours for the National Honor Society or other service-learning programs.
Students can participate in creating hats or scarves for clothing donations to ECHO, a non-profit organization supporting families in need, or for SOME, a center in Washington, D.C. Students may also choose to crochet or knit hats if preferred. All supplies are provided.
Meetings are held on Late Bus days from 3 PM to 3:45PM in the Woodson Library. Students can also make hats/scarves at home if they cannot stay after school. See Mrs. Muir for more details on working from home.
For the service learning to continue, the Woodson Library is currently in need of the following items:
Loom kits: size 9.5 inches with a hook
Crochet hooks: Sizes G to J
Red Heart yearn, Weight #4 (please no white yarn)
Please consider donating so this valuable community service project work can continue!
If you have any questions, please email Lisa Muir, the Woodson Librarian, at lkmuir@fcps.edu.
