Woodbury Weekly Update for Families
November 22, 2024
Welcome to our weekly update! We are thrilled to keep you informed about the happenings at our school, celebrations & achievements and upcoming events, ensuring you're an active part of your students educational journey. In each update, you'll find some quick highlights of the past week and a preview of what's to come. Our hope is to foster a strong sense of community and collaboration between the school and our cherished families. Most weeks will be brief, but at times there is important information or updates that help support us in your involvement in our little school. Thank you for taking the time to read it!
We had a packed house for the school board meeting on Tuesday night! It was a joy to share our pride for our little school and honor our school board members for their service to the Sandwich community. Students did an awesome job leading the room in the pledge and our third grade speakers knocked it out of the park, bravely speaking in front of so many.
