The Woodstock Elementary Library Book Fair is happening November 17-25 and it can't happen without volunteers helping set up before the book fair, working the cash registers during the book fair, and helping break down after the book fair. If there are not enough volunteers for conference days (Monday 11/24 and Tuesday 11/25), then the Book Fair will not be open. Please sign up if you can!

Starting on Saturday November 15th through December 2nd, Bottle Drop Give will match 20% of the funds collected via can and bottle donations. Please bring your Blue Bags to any bag drop location within this time frame and earn Woodstock a little more money for school events. Think you don't have enough cans on your own? See if you can get a can collection going with friends who feel the same way or reach out to neighbors. Every little bit helps! Need more bags? Stop by the office and grab a couple.

The next Donut Bike Bus will take place this Friday, November 21! Take a look at the Woodstock Bike Bus route map to find a route near you. Bike Buses encourage biking by creating designated routes to school that children and their families can join along the way. For families who commute to Woodstock School, you can join a Bike Bus by parking at the start of the route or anywhere along the way. Mark your calendars for two December Donut Bike Buses - Friday, December 5 and Friday, December 19!

The WCC’s first annual holiday market will be held on Saturday, November 29, from 10 am - 4 pm inside the Woodstock Community Center. Over a dozen local artists, bakers, and crafters are ready to ring in the holiday season with handcrafted goods made right here in Woodstock!

Celebrate the season by shopping local handmade crafts and goods, taking part in free wine tasting, and meeting your neighbors at Toast (5222 SE 52nd Ave) on Saturday, November 29 from 11 am - 1:30 pm.
