A group of teachers at Woodland Primary brought the story of El mitón to life on the library stage. The story is about a child losing a mitten in the snow and woodland creatures finding the mitten and crawling inside. The teachers acted it out while the narrator read the story and the kids had so much fun! 💚🐇🐁

Primary was ready to ROAR today! These Wildcats danced and moved and sang along at today's Roar Rally as their teachers, principal, and celebrity guest, WILEY THE WILDCAT acted out a skit about what it means to listen, control their actions, and how to be the ROAR-iest Woodland Wildcats! #LifeintheW #ROARrally
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.
