Tickets to our Halloween Party will go on sale next week in our cafeteria. Students can purchase tickets for this fun and exciting event which will take place one week from today, Friday, October 26th. I will have a reminder coming to you in a blog next week. Every year, people are curious to see what Mr. Murphy and I will team up as for a Halloween duo. Two years ago it was the poorly chosen Mario and Luigi, while last year we were nerds. This year some suggestions have been Batman & Robin (I would have to be Batman, albeit more of a resemblance to Adam West than the younger, more hip guys), Dumb & Dumber (staff members thought of that one) or Ponch and John from CHiPs. I know that everyone is very excited to see how this turns out.

Tonight is the Hot Mama fundraiser in Deer Park. Go to the Hot Mama store in Deer Park from 7-9p.m., enjoy some refreshments and if you mention Woodlawn when you make your purchase, the school will get a portion of the proceeds.
Last night we held our Standards Based Report Card informational meeting at Twin Groves and had an outstanding discussion surrounding the reasons why we are heading toward a more informational system. One of the questions that came about from the parents is "who are the experts in SBR and where can we get some additional information." I will be including links to articles in upcoming blogs so that you can get familiar with the experts. Thank you to all of the parents and teachers who attended last night.
6th grade parents--The outstanding Brainetics show, a favorite of Woodlawn Middle School, put on by Mr. Mike Byster, will be this Wednesday, October 23rd, beginning at 8a.m. Mr. Byster would like to invite all parents to attend this truly amazing use of mathematical systems. Parents are asked to R.S.V.P. to the main office if they would like to join this wonderful show.
Congratulations to Brett Lukas who took 23rd place at the state cross country meet. Brett ran like the wind against 180 of the best runners in the state. Way to go Brett!
Our girls basketball and soccer teams had very good showings in their conference tournaments. I am proud of the effort and sportsmanship shown by everyone on our teams. Go Wolves!
Congratulations to Eileen Hoang, 7th grade cello, and Marissa Katz, 7th grade viola, for their selection to the IMEA Festival Orchestra! Eileen and Marissa competed with over 300 of the best orchestra students from over 60 schools in the Northwest suburbs to claim their spot in the 120-member orchestra. The festival will take place on Saturday, November 3 at Wauconda High School.
Finally, I just want to say that our students are really doing a great job in school and I am proud of the effort they are putting forward. We are always trying to teach our students how to be citizens as well as students.
Have a great week.
Greg
