It's pretty hard to believe, but we're just days away from November and the start of Quarter 2 here at Woodlawn. It's been a great start to the year so far, and we're proud of all of our students for how much they've all grown academically, socially, and emotionally.
This past week, "Fireman Tony" Rodkey, from the Countryside Fire Protection District, stopped by our Family & Consumer Sciences classes to talk about fire safety. Here he is demonstrating what to do during a kitchen fire...
Superintendent Julie Schmidt joined Mrs. Erin Cooper's 6g English/Language Arts class as she has and will continue to do throughout the year. Mrs. Schmidt randomly selected Mrs. Cooper's class as a part of her Adopt-A-Classroom program. The students are thrilled to have her around just as much as we know she loves being here working with the kids.
The Fall Party is tonight, and we hope to see your students here at 6pm. The party ends at 8pm, so parents, please be here to pick them up at that time. If students did not already buy a ticket, they can purchase one at the door for $8. The price includes admission, a raffle ticket, a beverage, slice of pizza, and a dessert.
Next week on Thursday, November 3, the 8g students will travel to Stevenson High School to watch the Fine Arts Division's fall production of the musical, Sweeney Todd. It should definitely be a scream. The musical is open to the public from November 4-6. Click here for more information.
Today was the last day of Quarter 1, and Report Cards will be going home with students next Friday, November 4. We encourage you to continue contacting your students' teachers with any questions, concerns or celebrations that you'd like to share at any time. Structured Parent-Teacher Conferences are set for Monday, November 21, from 5-7pm, and on Tuesday, November 22, from 2-7pm. Call the Woodlawn office to schedule an appointment beginning November 9.
Lastly, we would like to welcome parents to attend an upcoming PTO Cultural Arts event... Boom Troupe will present "Change It! Standing Up to Bullying" on November 15 to the students during the school day. Boom Troupe will help bring to life some of the challenging concepts of bullying. Click here for more information about Boom Troupe. More details to follow...
That's all for now... Have a great and safe Halloween weekend!
Talk soon-
Chris Murphy
