Have you seen the new Little Free Library at the Woodstock playground? The Garden Committee installed it, and it's already filling up with great books thanks to our fantastic community! Make sure to stop by, pick out a book to enjoy, and feel free to leave one for someone else to discover.
Don't forget, Wednesday morning will be a little different. Get your little one up and ready to walk or roll to school and strike a pose for Picture Day πΈ! Good luck to all the parents attempting wardrobe suggestions. May the odds be in our favor.

π₯π€ Thank You, K Pop Superstars! π€π₯
Our K-Pop Demon Hunter Night fundraiser was an absolute hit! π
Thank you to all the amazing volunteers, families, and fans who helped make it a success. And thank you to everyone for their patience with the ramen line. The turnout was amazing and beyond what we expected. Because of this amazing community, we were able to reach our goal of having lion dancers return to Woodstock Elementary for Lunar New Year! π«
Pasta with a Purpose!
On Thursday, October 16th, Pastini will generously donate 40% of sales to support our school β but only if you mention "Woodstockβ when you order in person!
For online orders, go to https://pastinisoutheast.hrpos.heartland.us and add "For Woodstock" in the name field (for ex. John Smith For Woodstock). Unfortunately, no other 3rd party ordering or delivery sites apply.
Last year, we raised $748 to cover buses for the 1st grade field trip. Letβs see if we can top that this year! Eat pasta, help kids!!
Walk + Roll Committee
