A Note from the Principal
Dear Woodland Families,
Boy, what an exciting day we had yesterday! Our 5th grade Woodland basketball team defeated a talented Graham team to win the One Avondale 5th grade intermural Championship. Both sets of bleachers were filled with excited parents, siblings, relatives and teachers. It was quite a battle. I had to leave at half-time and we were down by 6. The kids came back and won by two!
This program has been in existence for several years to celebrate our community and to help introduce students to some of the new friends they will make at AMS. Thank you to Mr. Higgins and Mr. Daniels who volunteered to coach our basketball players and to Ms. Phou and Mrs. McNaughton who volunteered to lead our cheer squad.

M-STEP Reminder
I have been so impressed with our 5th grade students and the MSTEP! They worked hard, were flexible with scheduling, and were patient as their classmates finished. We only have a couple of students who need to finish up.
There is no MSTEP testing next week.
I know that sometimes families need to schedule appointments during the school day. However, we are asking that you please do your best not to schedule appointments during the three week M-STEP block. Most testing will be done between 9:30-12:00 and 1:30-3:00. Below are the windows for each grade level:
3rd Grade
- 5/2 McIntyre ELA MSTEP
- 5/3 Clar ELA MSTEP
- 5/7 McIntyre Math MSTEP
- 5/8 Clar Math MSTEP
4th Grade
- 5/9 McNaughton/Polizzi ELA MSTEP
- 5/10 Oliver ELA MSTEP
- 5/14 McNaughton/Polizzi Math MSTEP
- 5/15 Oliver Math MSTEP
GT 3rd & 4th-Ms. Martin is giving the test to 4th graders and Ms. Gierman is giving the test to all 3rd graders. They will test on the same days.
- 5/8 ELA MSTEP
- 5/10 Math MSTEP

Talent Show
Art Room News...
Woodland's Art Show will be held on Tuesday, May 8th from 6-7:30pm and we could definitely use some help! Andrea Yamarino will be hanging artwork right after morning dropoff next Wednesday and Thursday. If you are available to help, please text or email Andrea Yamarino at (248) 410-0958 or maanco18@yahoo.com.
We are also collecting empty plastic water bottles (clean & washed out, please!) for an Art project and could use any and all that you may have. A box will be in Town Square all next week to collect them.
The Art Room is also looking for empty, aluminum soup cans (washed out, please!) and slightly used or new cans of spray paint. If you have either of these items, please send them into Ms. Green.
