Woodland Students and Staff have created beautiful ofrendas throughout the district in honor of Día de los Muertos. An ofrenda is an altar built to celebrate and remember loved ones who have passed away by displaying photos, favorite food and drinks, memorabilia, flowers and more. #LifeintheW
More photos of the Woodland Intermediate Fall Fest parties to come, but let's all pause for a minute to giggle at this T-Rex getting wrapped like a mummy 🤣
Imagine turning the corner in the school hallway and seeing this!

Thank you to everyone who attended the first Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) of the 2023-2024 school year! We had a great turnout, and it was wonderful to see our families getting to know each other and making connections. The adults heard presentations about Mental Health, and Community Resources, and learned new tips for getting involved in their child's school. The kids spent time working on a craft with Woodland teachers and Warren Township High School student volunteers from Avanza. Starbucks, Jewel, and Tacos el Norte donated food and raffle prizes (look how cute those owl cake pops were in the photos).

Hello Woodland Intermediate Families,
Here is the latest edition of the Principal Parent Newsletter 10-6-23. Have a wonderful long weekend! #LifeintheW. https://www.smore.com/p7xnb
The month of October is National Principals Month! At Woodland we are so fortunate to have four dedicated school leaders taking care of our learning community. Let's see how well you know our principals!
Which principal is the biggest football fan? 🏈 Which principal has an identical twin? 🐯🐯 Which principal loves dogs almost as much as Wildcats? 🐕 Which principal was once lead singer in a rock band? 🎤 The answers can be found in the Weekly Newsletter HERE: https://www.smore.com/ct92fy
We invite you to join us in showing our collective appreciation to these dedicated leaders and #ThankaPrinicpal with an email to your child’s principal or a kind word about them on social media. Throughout the year, our school leaders may only hear from stakeholders when there is a problem that needs solving or an issue that a parent/guardian feels needs attention. If you have positive feedback or a success story to share, this would be a great time to send it along and show a little “TLC” to four individuals who care for so many others each day.
(DIS)ABILITY AWARENESS ASSEMBLY at Woodland Intermediate
In case you missed it in Mr. Sheldon's newsletter, here is the video from the assembly on Friday. https://youtu.be/uTpc94s3sOA?si=kHM7adu-_zvWM5fd
At the assembly, students heard from representatives from the Lake County Center for Independent Living, Lunch Supervisor Heather Clark, and Hearing Teacher Jessica Pierson. The speakers talked about their disabilities, and all the ways they are the same as everyone else - with the same interests, hobbies, hopes, dreams, and aspirations. Students also learned about using Person-First language, inclusive play, and treating others with respect. Here is a video they created to show clips from the presentation.
Today Woodland celebrates National Custodian Day! We appreciate our school custodians who go above and beyond to keep our schools clean and safe. You are often the first to arrive in the morning, stand ready to assist throughout the day, and stay into the evening to make sure our schools are ready to welcome our staff and students for a great day in #LifeintheW.
