Happy New Year Wildcats!
We hope you are enjoying your winter break. The district office is open and we are here if you need us. Otherwise, please continue relaxing and recharging your batteries for a few more days.
We look forward to welcoming our teachers back on Jan. 8 for a Teacher Institute Day (no student attendance), and our students back on Jan. 9.
We are Ready to ROAR in '24! #LifeintheW

Student Leaders meeting for their weekly planning with Mrs. Weidemann . Great group of hard working students helping to make Woodland Intermediate an AMAZING place to be!
Woodland Intermediate East PE classes are enjoying a FUN day of Air Hockey today in class!
The Annual Holiday Food Drive was a HUGE success!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, brought in non-perishable food, contributed with a financial donation, or supported the food drive in some other way over the past few weeks. With your generosity, we were able to support 82 Woodland families with extra food, warmth, and resources to help them through the holidays and winter break. There were multiple food drive competitions and fundraising events across the district, and the result was a pop-up food pantry for families to shop for their needs in a warm and welcoming environment. There are many different reasons why someone may need additional support this time of year, and you helped lift up your friends and neighbors with your contributions. Here are a few photos of our AMAZING volunteers, including student volunteers from both Woodland and Warren Township High School, setting up for the event. #LifeintheW

Woodland Intermediate Trimester 1 ROAR Raffle!
Students earned ROAR tickets by making good choices, and entered their names into the prize boxes they hoped to win.

Thank you to Village of Gurnee Mayor Tom Hood, Superintendent Robert Machak, and Wiley for overseeing the drawing to make sure the results were official. Everyone is excited to start earning more ROAR cash in advance of the next end of trimester reward. #LifeintheW
