Our final BPAC meeting of the 2024–2025 school year was held last week, and it was a fantastic way to close out the year! Families listened to a presentation from Nicasa, and heard from guest speaker Dr. Moran of WTHS. We also introduced Ms. Yamilette Sosa, Woodlands’ new Director of Language Acquisition to our BPAC families. A big thank you goes out to Gabriela Navarro Díaz, our dedicated Middle School NJHS volunteers, and Tobias the comfort dog for all their support. Most of all, thank you to our amazing BPAC families. Your energy, engagement, and commitment have made this year unforgettable. Have a safe and happy summer—we can’t wait to see you again next school year!
