The Annual Holiday Food Drive was a success thanks to the generous donations from the Woodland learning community and our valued community partners. With your help, we served more than 80 Woodland families with extra food and warm coats, hats, and gloves.
Here are a few pictures of our team of volunteers setting up for the event, including Tobias Comfort Dog! A special thank you to the Warren Township High School students from Students of Service, National Honor Society, and Avanza for helping throughout the night.

Woodland Primary held a Veterans Day program honoring active military members and veterans. The ceremony included a Presentation of Colors, the National Anthem, the Pledge of Allegiance, a special poem performed by students on stage, and the entire audience sang a beautiful song to thank Veterans for their service. #LifeintheW
Primary also made this video for morning announcements: https://youtu.be/SaPhXUNaXiA?si=PsIqTrnU8FO1ZZnQ

Wiley can't decide what to be for Halloween. "Witch" one do you like best? 🤣
Fall Festivities in Kindergarten! It was a great pumpkin investigation for these little Wildcats and a few parent helpers.
Answer these questions:
How tall is your pumpkin?
How big around?
How much does your pumpkin weigh?
Does your pumpkin float or sink?
Should we carve a silly face or a scary face?
Bonus Content: You will see students in their pajamas for a Red Ribbon Week spirit day. "Follow You Dreams, Be Healthy!"
