Let the games begin!
The last Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee (BPAC) Meeting of the year was held on Wednesday night at Woodland Intermediate. This group has grown so much this year! The BPAC members are a great example of parent engagement in our district. While the adults participated in a presentation from Warren Township Youth and Family Services on the topic of Anxiety and services offered through United Way of Lake County, the kids had fun making crafts and hanging out with Tobias the Comfort Dog. Thank you to Alejandra Balsamo for your work throughout the year to bring our families together, and to the Dual Language teachers and other volunteers who help support the program. #LifeintheW

Congratulations to our Parent Mentors for a wildly successful year supporting our Wildcats in the classroom!
In these photos, the Parent Mentors are receiving a certificate of completion, thank you cards, and artwork from the students they worked with over the past several months. They originally signed up to help students, but the program ended up helping them as well! The mentors talked about the relationships they have developed through the program, and all of the skills and confidence they gained through this experience. They had personal jokes, heart-warming stories from the year, and amazing testimonials about their time serving our learning community in this role. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION AND ROLE MODEL!
Family Night @WPrimary50 with @JimGillmusic was a great time! Singing, dancing, banjo songs and more. Such a fun night for our Primary families! #LifeintheW @Woodland50News

Congratulations to Jeff Winiger - Bus Driver of the Year!
Jeff Winiger was recently awarded the Bus Driver of the Year Award from the Transportation Department. His students know him as Mr. Jeff, and he has been part of the #LifeintheW team since 2021. To students and families, he is known for being kind, friendly and happy. To his friends in the Transportation department, he is known for his willingness to help and being a supportive coworker.
Mr. Jeff has excellent attendance, and he strives to be a good role model for the Wildcats in his care. He has great student management skills and is always willing to lend a helping hand. Even though he has the largest Elementary route in over 12 years, he takes the time to get to know all of his students and their families.
Learn more about Mr. Jeff and why he was selected as Bus Driver of the Year in the weekly newsletter: https://secure.smore.com/n/nbd6k
Thank you for always going the extra mile Mr. Jeff!
It's a beautiful morning in Gurnee, and many of our Wildcats may be walking or riding bikes to school. Thankfully these amazing partners in safety get up early each morning to see our students safely through the crosswalks. Thank you to Angelo White and Joann Metzger for being one of the first friendly faces to greet our staff, students, and families as they walk, bike or drive by. We appreciate you and your big morning energy! Smile/Honk/Wave to show your appreciation today and help us spread the love to our crossing guards. 💚
