Woodland Intermediate celebrated Veterans Day by hosting a special assembly with performances by the Veterans Day Choir, student readings, and speakers from our school and community, including the Lake County Honor Flight! Thank you for sharing everything your organization does to celebrate and honor veterans in our community and around the country.
This is #LifeintheW!
This morning, Primary hosted a breakfast for students to invite their special veterans to come to the school and spend time together!
#LifeintheW
At Elementary, students were visited by veterans during gym class! The veterans shared some of their experiences serving in the military and also taught our Wildcats how to come to attention and salute!

Stay tuned for more pictures from celebrations across Woodland!
Today, Ms. Haerle's class was celebrated for their amazing attendance in the months of September and October. To thank them for all their hard work and for showing up to school each day, Dr. Machak treated them to a pizza party!
Showing up each and every day makes a big difference and we want to congratulate these students for their fantastic attendance and making school a priority. Way to go, Wildcats!
Students at WMS came together to help decorate the school hallways in honor of Veterans Day by creating beautiful paper poppies! These poppies now brighten the front hallway of the school, celebrating those who have served our country. Through this project, students learned more about the history and significance of the poppy and why it remains such an important symbol of remembrance.
Both the Woodland Green and Woodland White boys’ teams took the courts last night, bringing energy, teamwork, and plenty of excitement!

Did you know WMS has a Chess Club? Students meet to sharpen their chess skills, learn new strategies, and challenge themselves and their classmates.
There’s some friendly competition, some critical thinking, and lots of fun! ♟️🐯
Students in Ms. Barkhurst's and Ms. Barbknecht’s classes explored a hallway “photo gallery” at WMS. They examined historical images from the 1920’s and 1930’s and analyzed and evaluated how American life transformed between these two decades.
Thank you to our wonderful Parent Volunteers for helping out in the classrooms. Your support helps make days like these even better!
Students began by writing down their wishes, then headed out to the school courtyard to choose a tree where they could tie their wishes. What a wonderful way for our Wildcats to bring this story to life!
