Today was our first Walking School Bus of the year, and what a wonderful way to start the day together! Twenty students joined staff, families, and our school resource officer, Officer Collins, for a walk to school. A special thank-you to our amazing school nurse, Mrs. Kiley, for organizing this event, and to all the parents who joined us and helped make it a great morning! If you couldn't join us today, we hope you will be able to join an upcoming Walking School Bus, held on Friday mornings throughout the fall. Future dates include 10/9, 10/16, 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/13, 11/20.

Yesterday’s CARE assembly was full of excitement as SOS led a fun and energetic pep rally for our upcoming Color Run! Students enjoyed music, cheers, a dance party, and prize updates. Staff even joined in a game of Granny Pants, which was a huge hit with students! A huge thank-you to SOS and our parent volunteers for organizing and supporting this event, and a special thank-you to Julie Gilman, Danielle DeLaurentis, and Karen Anza for leading the charge with all things Color Run! Please remember to mark your calendar for October 16th, the day of our Color Run. The Color Run is a very popular volunteer opportunity at Woodward, and sign-ups will go live on Sunday. Read below for more informaiton.
Many Woodward students ride the bus to or from home each day. Please have a conversation with your child about what it means to be respectful, responsible, safe, and kind (our school motto) on the bus. These family conversations go a long way and reinforce our values as a school. Thank you for your support!
Also connected to bussing, if your child has lost their RFID bus tag, please let the main office know, or encourage your child to stop into the office.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and it's a cause close to all of our hearts here at school. Every child deserves to feel safe, and respected, both in our hallways and beyond. This month, our students are exploring what it means to be an upstander, not a bystander, and practicing the courage it takes to speak kindly and include others. We encourage families to open conversations at home about what bullying looks like, how it feels, and what your child can do if they ever witness or experience it. Together, we can build a community where every student knows they belong. |

Hello from Mrs. Geeze! In our second-grade music classes, we are learning about high and low sounds and voices, singing many high/low songs, using various timbres, and how sound is made by vibration. In third grade, we are working with various rhythms, singing patriotic songs in honor of the upcoming Veterans Day, and learning various folk songs with movement activities. In Strings, we are learning the parts and care of our instruments, as well as beginning some open-string songs. We are excited to begin learning how to hold the bow, too! |
