Woodson PTSO Grocery Drive

 

PTSO Grocery Gift Card Drive

PTSO Grocery Gift Card Drive

As the holidays near, our community is rallying to support Woodson student families in need. Last year, your generous donations helped us provide both grocery gift cards and bags of groceries for families facing food insecurity during winter break.

We’ll be collecting donations until November 20th. You can Donate HERE, via PayPal, or drop off grocery gift cards ($10–$25) from Safeway, Giant, Walmart, or Target in the front office (attention: Jackie O’Brien).

Your generosity helps our school counselors, family liaisons and staff provide extra care and comfort to Woodson families who need it most.

Activities and Athletics

Hats for ECHO

Hats for ECHO making an impact

 

Earlier this year, the library asked for supply donations (yarn, loom kits, crochet needles) to help make their hat-making program a continued success.

The Woodson community delivered! We wanted to share notes of gratitude received from SOME:

"On behalf of So Others Might Eat In Washington DC and the clients that are served, thank you for your meticulously made hats and scarves. The un-housed and low income of Washington DC appreciate the kindness and care that have been bestowed on them. Not only do these hats and scarves provide warmth, they provide a human connection." - Jodi O’Hern, SOME Ambassador

"On behalf of everyone at SOME, I want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support. Your contribution plays a vital role in helping us fulfill our mission and make a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve." - JB (Everette Reel, Public Safety Team Lead at SOME)"

Tartuffe

Tartuffe: November 8th at 1pm and 7pm, 9th at 1pm, 14th at 7pm and 15th at 1pm and 7pmth

 

Y'all Ready for This?

Coming Soon to Woodson Theatre - Tartuffe: The Rhinestone Hypocrite

Save the dates for a world premiere, Texas-sized re-imagining of Molière's classic comedy! We've hauled the hypocritical con artist Tartuffe right into the heart of a mega-church in contemporary Texas to explore the intoxicating mix of hypocrisy and greed in a very public, very southern setting.

Get ready for:

  • Big Hair, Big Personalities: Our characters are inspired by country and southern rock royalty—think June Carter and Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, and Elvis—but with a whole lot of passive-aggressive remarks.
  • A Gospel-Country Score: Featuring contemporary southern language and a soundtrack laced with country and gospel music.
  • LOTS of Rhinestones: Because everything's bigger (and sparklier) in Texas!

Performance Schedule

Mark your calendars! All performances are at Woodson Theatre:        

Fri, Nov 14, 2025 - 7:00 pm           

Sat, Nov 15, 2025 - 1:00 pm (Understudy Performance) & 7:00 pm
