Art show

Boys volleyball

The dominance continues!  For the fourth straight year, a Woodlawn team has won the Patriot Middle School championship.  This year, both the Woodlawn Silver and Blue teams won their brackets and earned the right to play each other in the championship game.  It was decided that Woodlawn had earned the championship and that they would not need to play a final game.  I am very proud of the effort and sportsmanship put forth by both teams.  Congrats to our players and coaches, Mr. Keenon and Mrs. Blair. 

Extra supply kits

If you forgot to order your school supply kit for the 2013-14 school year, there will be a couple of extra kits that you can purchase through the PTO.  Anyone interested can contact Michele Murphy at emmjmurphy@att.net

State track & field

Congrats to all of our track and field participants who are competing in Peoria today and tomorrow.  Our runners and field event participants did a great job at the sectionals and earned the right to compete at state.  Good luck Wolves!

Meet the Lincoln’s

Absolutely one of our best assemblies of the year was performed by professional impersonators of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. Students were able to ask questions and listen to the stories of both Mr. and Mrs. Lincoln.  

Orchestra & Band 

Great job by the band and orchestra groups this week.  Your performance was outstanding each night.  Apologies to our guests at the orchestra concert, as our gym was exceptionally warm.  The students fought through the heat and performed exceptionally well!  Great job by both groups. 

Have a great weekend,

Greg
