Woods School

Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers that signed up for the different events that are planned for this year at Woods School. Volunteers are an play an especially important role at Woods School.  The Woods Parent-Teacher Group coordinates many events each year to benefit our students.  We know your time is valuable and we, and the students, appreciate any time you are willing to give to enrich their experience at Woods School.

Every year the Silent Auction, a fundraiser sponsored by the WPTG, is a great family event that raises money to fund special “extras” for our children at Woods School.

We are expecting some great changes this year to enhance this event. With big changes comes the need for extra help. Please consider signing up to help in any way you can. We need any help or suggestions you can offer.

Please contact us if you are interested. Thank you

Welcome back to school! With the start of school, we also welcome fall leaves, cool, crisp weather, clear blue skies, and the Pilgrim Dinner. To continue this Woods tradition, the committee needs two good men and/or women to chair the committee.

This committee meets to assign the food items and jobs for the day of the dinner, and generally oversee the serving on the day of the dinner. There have always been three co-chairs. Since Mrs. Nielsen will be retiring from this position in two years, the committee is in need of two new people to fill the positions. If you are interested in co-chairing, please call the school at 248-3816 and ask for Mrs. Gonzales.

Thank you for all the parent support our school has had throughout the history of the Pilgrim Dinner. That support has made its success.

Woods School is looking for a playground duty supervisor to coordinate and schedule our playground volunteers Playground volunteers supervise students on the playground, with a teacher, during lunchtime recess.
