Hello Woods Lake Family,
March is Reading Month and we have some wonderful activities that we will launch to support our students in celebrating reading during the month, beginning with our Annual Literacy Night. We will host our virtual literacy night on Wednesday, March 3, 2021 from 5:00-6:30 p.m.
Our theme this year is the Magic School Bus! Our students and families will engage in science learning experiments and will have a chance to see Ms. Frizzle and our arts staff. There is fun for the entire family! We look forward to you joining us this week during our literacy night events! Log-in information can be found on your child's Google Classroom.
Your child will need their cinch sack with items to fully engage in our literacy night event. If you have not done so, please stop by the building to collect your child's items in preparation for our virtual Literacy Night event! Don’t Delay!
Mark your calendars, Friday, March 5th and March 12th there will be no school for students.
As always, Stay Safe and Stay Healthy!

This month Kids In Tune transforms into Families In Tune as we celebrate Family February! Every February we invite family members and loved ones of KKIT students to join our Orchestra for the month and learn an instrument alongside their student. We are so excited to welcome 25 family members into our Orchestra this month - our highest number of participants yet! Together we are all working on a new piece of music that we are excited to perform for everyone at our upcoming virtual Spring concert March 5th at 6:00pm. You can watch the performance and cheer on fellow Woods Lake students and their family members on our KKIT Facebook page, we will be live streaming the event.
That's not all! We are also hosting a photo scavenger hunt where families take pictures of themselves completing fun activities together in order to win a pizza party. So far, our families in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place are all from Woods Lake! Last but not least, we are hosting a Family Game Night and KKIT Open House on Friday, February 19th at 6:00pm.
