Celebrating Our Noticing Journey
Keep Noticing!
As part of celebrating and culminating our school-wide Noticing theme, inspired by Noticing by Kobi Yamada, all students received a pair of school-branded sunglasses on Monday, June 22. The sunglasses were presented during a year-end assembly as a fun way to celebrate a year of learning and to kick off the start of summer break.
Throughout the year, students were encouraged to slow down, look closely, and appreciate the people, opportunities, and moments that make learning and life meaningful. By taking the time to notice, students discovered new perspectives, deepened their understanding, strengthened relationships, and found ways to make a positive difference in our school community.
We hope the sunglasses inspire students to carry the spirit of Noticing with them throughout the summer and beyond. They are a reminder to:
👀 Look closely
🌎 Notice the world around them
💡 Stay curious and open to new possibilities
❤️ Appreciate and connect with others
☀️ Enjoy their summer adventures
If your child was absent on June 22, please have them stop by the school office at the beginning of the new school year to pick up their sunglasses.
Farewell to Our Grade 6 Wolverines
Over the last few weeks, we have celebrated our incredible Grade 6 Wolverines and all they have achieved during their time at Woodbridge Farms Elementary. From academic accomplishments to personal growth and lasting friendships, we are so proud of each and every one of them.
As they head off to junior high in August, we wish them all the best in this exciting next chapter. They will be deeply missed and we hope they always carry fond memories of their time at Woodbridge Farms.
We love hearing how our former students are doing, so be sure to visit us. Once a Wolverine, always a Wolverine.
Thank You WBF Families
As the school year comes to a close, we want to sincerely thank all our families for your amazing support. Whether it was joining us on field trips, attending school events, volunteering your time, or dedicating countless hours to supporting your child’s learning and homework at home your involvement has made a meaningful difference.
We truly appreciate your ongoing partnership throughout the year. We are so proud of all our students’ achievements and look forward to another fantastic year ahead.
On behalf of the entire Woodbridge Farms staff, we wish you and your family a safe, restful, and fun-filled summer. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back in August!

We invite our students and families to our Meet the Staff and Unpack your Backpack Event on Thursday, August 27, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. This event takes place the evening before school starts so that students and families can locate classrooms, drop off school supplies, and say hello to their teacher.
Families will receive a School Messenger notification in the morning on Thursday, August 27 with information about their child’s teacher and classroom location. We look forward to welcoming students a day early and giving them a sneak peek of their classroom!
