Good afternoon, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the upcoming week. Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Week, Ms. Jill Price. Ms. Jill Price is a friend to everyone she meets. She greets the students and staff daily with a smile on her face. She can always be available whenever she is needed. We are so proud to have her on staff.
A big shout out goes to our Students of the Week, Gracie Linton in Kindergarten and Gary Johnson in 4th grade. Gracie is a friend to everyone and makes sure everyone has a friend to play with at recess. Gary is a wonderful helper and models the Woodson Way every day. Way to go!!!
After school choir for 4th and 5th grade students begins this Tuesday, October 15th, 3:45-4:45. Please remember that all choir students will need to be picked up at 4:45. Mrs. Jones and the choir members will meet parents out front for dismissal.
The SCPS Board meeting will be Tuesday evening October 15th and the open session begins at 6:00 pm. Parents and guardians may attend.
On Wednesday, October 16th, we will have Fall Pictures with Lifetouch. Students can dress in appropriate casual attire for the Fall pictures. October 16th is Unity Day. Dr. Tasker-Mitchell is inviting students and staff to wear an orange shirt to show unity. If your child will be wearing an outfit for picture day that isn’t orange, you may consider sending them with an orange ribbon, sweater, hair tie, or something else they can remove before pictures if you still want them to show unity and support for anti-bullying.
We will have our annual Curriculum Trunk or Treat this Thursday October 17th from 5-7:00 pm. We are still in need of candy donations.
Also, on Thursday, October 17th, there will be a casual day fundraiser for Music. Students must pay $1 and staff $2 if they would like to dress in appropriate casual attire.
There will be no school for students on Friday, October 18th, so teachers can attend professional development at the Maryland State Education Association Conference.
Any student who brings a bag of candy for Trunk or Treat as a donation, will be able to dress in appropriate casual attire on Monday. October 21st.
Please make sure that you fill out the student electronic annual forms on the Power School parent portal. These forms need to get updated every year for returning students. Please contact Jen Ward in the front office if you need help with your password.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message and have a great rest of your weekend.
