A big part of Woodland's Strategic Plan is student voice and choice. This looks different at each school depending on the age of students, but here is a look at the recent meeting of the Wildcat Representatives at Woodland Primary. This group voted on their favorite playground equipment and what should be shown on the new display screens at lunch. The students did a great job of introducing themselves to their peers, and expressing their ideas and opinions during the discussion! #LifeintheW

The monthly Board of Education meeting always starts with celebrations as a way to recognize the achievements of Woodland staff and students, and/or to highlight a special program or group. At the February meeting, the Woodland Intermediate Spelling Bee winner and finalists led the Board in the Pledge of Allegiance, Woodland Elementary students sang "Life Every Voice and Sing" in honor of Black History Month, and some of Woodland's Parent Mentors presented on the growth of the Parent Mentor program!
