From the Principal's Office
Hello Penn Wood Families!
EAGLES! We have been having a lot of fun at Penn Wood this January. The staff is having it's annual Soup-Ur-Bowl celebration today! Last year Mrs. Treon took home first place for her dish/soup/chili in our staff cook-off...let's see if she can defend her title today:) We have a flyer below that provides information about Penn Wood's soup can drive. Lastly, congratulations to student council president Brooklynn Cassidy and student council representative Aiden Custer for leading a presentation regarding all the cool things Penn Wood student council is doing this year! Well done!
Thank you for continuing to support all the staff at Penn Wood!
With Penn Wood Pride,
Dr. Mike G. Garvin

- Unload all along the cones, 5 - 7 cars should be able to unload at once to move the line along.
- Arrival carline drop off - 8:30 - 9:00am
- After 9:00 am (Late Arrivals) - drop off is in the front of the building
Afternoon Carline - 3:30 - 3:45
Please follow these protocols:
1) Please stay in car
2) If students can't buckle themselves in the car...please pull forward to the cul-de-sac and buckle there
3) Please do not enter the carline until 3:10. Vehicles cannot line up and wait as this causes unnecessary congestion on Johnny’s Way.
