Message from the Principal
Hello parents,
The week began with our 10th annual Day of Service honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Many students and staff came into school on their 'day off' and chose to volunteer their time to help make Woodbury a better place. Teams of students assisted at the Mews, MainStreet Woodbury, the Community Garden, Green Cemetery and our school facility itself. Rather than sleeping in late or staying home playing video games, they came into school to serve others. Some students even worked outside in 20 degree temperatures for hours pulling away vines from old tombstones or shoveling compost onto the tops of garden beds to help winterize them. I am super proud of all of our students and staff who came out on Monday; thank you!
Also, this week multiple grade levels met as a group in Townhalls including 6th, 7th, 10th, and 11th to discuss pertinent happenings, disseminate information, and celebrate as a community of learners.
Next week, the District is hosting two planning meetings for the new strategic plan. We invite you out on Monday or Thursday in the evening to provide your perspective and ensure your voice is heard as Woodbury plots its course and sets the direction the schools will take in the next few years. We hope to see many of you out on those dates! Please see the flyer below for more details.
Our first Saturday School of the year will be held tomorrow, January 20 ( 8 am - 12 pm) for anyone needing to make up a day of attendance.
Keep Love Present,
Dr. Vivadelli
