Message from the Principal
Hello parents.
We had another productive and engaging week at Woodbury. The course change window has closed and students have settled into their classes. Teachers are delivering rigorous, fun lessons that students are enjoying.
Two quick examples - Ms. Thomulka recently won a Bristol Meyers Squibb micro-grant through the Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellowship. That grant enabled her to purchase a number of Easy-Bake Ovens. The students explored physical and chemical changes through baking “cakes” with different ingredients to tell the effect of baking on chemical structures. Yum! Also, Mrs. Emenecker and Mrs. Corley's classes are participating in an ongoing Growth Mindset challenge (learn more about Growth Mindset here: https://goo.gl/jQygEC) that aims to improve student meta-cognition. Nice!
Our Junior High Welcome Back Dance will be held today Friday, September 22nd in the Gold Cafeteria from 7-9 pm. All JrHS students are encouraged to come out and enjoy the evening. We ask that students do not bring book bags and arrive with a signed permission slip. Tickets and admission slips are available during lunch for $3.00 and at the door for $4.00. Extra permission slips will be available at the dance.
Parents please be sure to arrive promptly at 8:55 pm for student pick up after the dance. We look forward to seeing you this evening!
Keep love present,
Dr. Vivadelli
