The Woodland Parent Mentor Program is so much more than classroom volunteers! The Parent Mentors have weekly training, enrichment and outreach opportunities where they are able to meet new people and learn new skills that they can take back to use with students in the classroom. Last week they had a special guest join them for their "Beyond the Classroom" work. Gurnee Mayor Tom Hood spent time with our mentors to help build the school to community connection. We love to see these partnerships in action.

Hi Woodland Intermediate Families, Here is the link to our latest edition. https://www.smore.com/fr784 This link is slightly different then the prior ones. The old one became too big to access. It still exists, but I am starting this one to hopefully address that problem.

Veterans Day: The students at Woodland Intermediate invited their special veteran(s) to the school for a Veterans Day ceremony. The ceremony included a performance by the Veterans Day Choir and Guest Speakers from the community and the Gurnee Fire Department. There was also a Veterans Day Essay Contest, and the winners read their winning entries to the audience. Finally, the students presented their honored guest with a poppy and a cookie to thank them for their service.
