Woods Lake Elementary
Weekly Update March 08-12, 2021
Hello Woods Lake Family,
We had a magnificent time with all of our students that attended our Magic School Bus Literacy Night event! Our students are truly learning to, "think like a scientist" and remembering to ask lots of questions! Thank you parents for stopping by the office to collect your child's materials for our extravagant event!
It's not too late for those students that did not receive their materials. We have the remaining cinch sacks at the school for those families that were not able to make it to the school in time for the event. We appreciate our Woods Lake families!
The second round of letters of intent are due to the office by Thursday, March 11, 2021. Reserve your seat by completing the document and submitting it to the main office.
We are ending Trimester II on Friday, March 12, 2021. It is hard to believe that we have completed two thirds of the school year. We want to remind you that there will be No School for students this Friday, March 12, 2021, record day!
We will be hosting our virtual Kindergarten Orientation on Wednesday, March 10, 2021 at 9:30 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. We are delighted to welcome our incoming Kindergarten students to Woods Lake Elementary!
As always, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!

We have made the tough decision to not hold a Girls on the Run team at Woods Lake this year. However, 3rd-5th grade girls will still have the opportunity to participate in GOTR. Please see this flyer for more information. If there are any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out!

(KKIT) Kalamazoo Kids In Tune
This month Kids In Tune transforms into Families In Tune as we celebrate Family February! Every February we invite family members and loved ones of KKIT students to join our Orchestra for the month and learn an instrument alongside their student. We are so excited to welcome 25 family members into our Orchestra this month - our highest number of participants yet! Together we are all working on a new piece of music that we are excited to perform for everyone at our upcoming virtual Spring concert March 5th at 6:00pm. You can watch the performance and cheer on fellow Woods Lake students and their family members on our KKIT Facebook page, we will be live streaming the event.
That's not all! We are also hosting a photo scavenger hunt where families take pictures of themselves completing fun activities together in order to win a pizza party. So far, our families in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are all from Woods Lake! Last but not least, we are hosting a Family Game Night and KKIT Open House on Friday, February 19th at 6:00pm. If you'd like to play some fun games over Zoom with other KKIT families, you can RSVP here: https://forms.gle/vo1cF3TV4FwTZEv7A
