Woodland D50 News and Information
Woodland Student Flag Goes to Springfield
For Veteran's Day, Elementary East students traced and cut out thousands of hands to make a one of kind flag that truly salutes all those who served. State Representative (and former Woodland Board of Education Member) Joyce Mason, heard about this flag and wanted to take it down to Springfield to show other legislators and state leaders. Rep. Mason is passionate about supporting our military personnel through her actions at the state level and felt the student created flag would be an inspiration to others who work in Springfield.
