Woodstock Elementary Newsletter

Happy Friday! This newsletter is coming out a little earlier than normal to remind families that the PTA is hosting a Popcorn Friday after school today on the playground. They will also be doing pre-order sales of the yearbook.

The yearbook is shaping up to be a great edition, so be sure to get your copy ordered soon

Speaking of yearbooks, this morning we announced the winner of the yearbook design cover contest, Grace Duncan! Congratulations Grace and to all the runners up!

Have a great weekend and we look forward to seeing you next week.

With Woodstock Pride,

Seth Johnson, Principal
