Dual Language Students in Ms. Hoy's class recently went on a field trip to see a movie in Spanish. When they returned to school, they did a class activity exploring culture, making connections back to the movie, and talking about overcoming challenges and reaching your full potential. The finished product is a culture tree that represents all the students in the class! #LifeintheW
The Annual Holiday Food Drive was a HUGE success!
Thank you to everyone who volunteered, brought in non-perishable food, contributed with a financial donation, or supported the food drive in some other way over the past few weeks. With your generosity, we were able to support 82 Woodland families with extra food, warmth, and resources to help them through the holidays and winter break. There were multiple food drive competitions and fundraising events across the district, and the result was a pop-up food pantry for families to shop for their needs in a warm and welcoming environment. There are many different reasons why someone may need additional support this time of year, and you helped lift up your friends and neighbors with your contributions. Here are a few photos of our AMAZING volunteers, including student volunteers from both Woodland and Warren Township High School, setting up for the event. #LifeintheW

Reading Relay at the Middle School Today!
The students have formed 39 teams, and 225 students are participating. They have to take turns reading for 20 minutes at their team table to keep their chair hot ALL DAY. The teams decorated their tables in themes, and the stacks of books you see are donations to Bernie's Book Bank.
We had a ROARific all school assembly yesterday. Academic achievements were celebrated as well as acknowledgements of teams and clubs. Cheerleaders, Poms, and Flags performed.
