Updates & Friendly Reminders
SAVE the DATE! Family Reading Night is coming up on February 9th! We hope to see you there! More information to come. We will kick off One School One Book on Tuesday during a school wide assembly where we will reveal the book we will be reading together. Thank you to our reading teachers, Mr. Mlot & Mrs. Riley and our district reading team of their planning of this event.
Friendly reminder to K/1 families to return field trips forms for our Thursday trip to the Sandwich Opera House this week.
Interested in volunteering at Woodbury? At times we are in need of extra helping hands during our lunch and recess times to help both inside and outside and as we plan some upcoming events for our students. Lunch takes place between the hours of 11:30-12:30. Please email Mrs. Kern at jkern@sandwich430.org if you are interested. A volunteer form and background check are required. Thank you for your help!
Our district is looking for a parent/guardian to join our district leadership team. If you are interested please contact Ryan Janisch by emailing rjanisch@sandwich430.org. Our district leadership team is made up of staff/educators that represent many levels and areas throughout our school district. It's incredibly valuable to have a parent/guardian at the table as well to join us in collaborating toward common goals and objectives that help us serve our students and families. Please consider joining us!
Winter benchmarking begins this week. This is when we administer assessments that gauge progress students have made from fall to winter in the areas of reading and math.

2023 Sandwich Education Foundation Casino Night
The Sandwich Education Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization formed in 1994 to enhance the educational opportunities for the students of Sandwich C.U.S.D. #430. The Board of Trustees is made up of parents, teachers, and local business owners who volunteer their time to help support and enrich our schools.
Our biggest fundraiser this year is our Casino Night and Silent Auction, which will be held on April 15, 2023, at the Fox Valley Older Adults Community Center in Sandwich. Doors open at 6:00 and the casino games will open from 7:00-10:00. At the event, you will be able to test your luck on popular casino games like craps, roulette, and blackjack. Don’t worry you won’t be playing for real money so you can take a risk and bet big to help our students. We will also have dealers on hand to help teach games to our less experienced guests. Appetizers will be served and there will also be a silent auction and raffles. This event is always a fun night and a great way to support our schools. Tickets are $25 each and are available in the main office of each school or online by clicking this link.
