A Message from Home & School
April is National Volunteer Month so Home & School would like to start off thanking all the volunteers who have donated their time and talents to Penn Wood this school year whether at school or from home!
Home & School has many more upcoming events and initiatives planned like assemblies, Teacher Appreciation Week, 4th Grade Pennsylvania Day, a Marathon Madness Celebration, and lots of special happenings for our 5th Graders! These would not be possible without all our dedicated volunteers so THANK YOU!
It was great to see so many families at Breakfast with a Buddy this week! Thanks to all who volunteered and to those who stopped at the "Appreciation Station" to write a note of thanks and donate raffle items for Teacher Appreciation Week. If you'd still like to send in an item or gift card for the Teacher Appreciation Raffle, please see the details below.
Stay updated on all upcoming events at pennwoodhsa.com!

Pica's Dine and Donate
Teacher Appreciation Week
Please help Home & School show our Penn Wood teachers how much we appreciate all that they do! Please see flyer below for how you can help make it a special week for our AWESOME teachers.
Marathon Madness Update
The weather is getting warmer and Marathon Madness is picking up! The kids are getting used to the structure. Every Tuesday, during the beginning part of recess, students can run, jog or walk around 4 laps of either the field or the playground. The program is going well, especially with the younger grades.
5th Grade parents: We are pleased to announce that, again this year, we are offering Marathon Madness trophies to all 5th Graders who have enjoyed Marathon Madness and/or participated in Marathon Madness every year they have attended at PW.
- ACTION NEEDED: Please email Christian Wakefield at wakeysinpa@gmail.com if you would like your 5th Grader to receive a trophy. PW Home & School will be happy to arrange this at no cost to you. Please be sure to email by Thursday, May 5th so we can arrange for delivery by the end of May.
We are always looking for Marathon Madness volunteers! Please feel free to sign up & join us every Tuesday if your schedule allows. We are looking forward to celebrating our accomplishments with a special treat on May 31! Thank you!
