Good afternoon, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the week. Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Week, Mrs. Bennett. Mrs. Bennett is amazing at what she does. She works hard to plan fun and interactive lessons for her students. Her dedication to her students is evident when you walk into her classroom. Thank you for all of your hard work!

Congratulations to our Students of the Week Gracie Bromley in 1st Grade and Jacob Hair in 5th Grade. Gracie is a model student in class every day. She is always willing to help anyone in need without even being asked. Jacob is consistently dedicated to improving in his subjects. He also has an outstanding work ethic in math.

A letter has gone home this past week from the Somerset County Board of Education, inviting parents and guardians to participate in an online survey to give input about a new superintendent. The online survey will be available from 3/25-3/31/24. Please check www.somerset.k12.md.us on 3/25/24 for the survey link.

Tuesday, March 19th will be the Monthly Board Meeting at the BOE, beginning at 6:00 pm for the open public session if anyone is interested in attending.

This Thursday, will be our annual Royal Engagement event at WES from 5:00-7:00 pm. It is sure to be a fun time for all. We will have games and a spaghetti dinner will be served. There won’t be any after school tutoring on this day; due to our school-wide event. If you can attend, please RSVP.

Looking ahead to next week, Wednesday, March 27th will be an early dismissal for students. Students will be dismissed at 12:30 pm. The 27th will also be a free casual day for students and staff as it is the last day of the month.

Schools will be closed Thursday, March 28th through Monday, April 1st due to Spring Break. School will resume, Tuesday, April 2nd.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and have a most enjoyable evening.
