We have a full week of fun ahead! But first, some appreciation for the amazing community who came out to this past weekend's events. 💓

Thank you to the Walk & Roll Committee for hosting another great Bike Fair! It was wonderful to see so many students on bikes on a beautiful Friday afternoon. 🚲

It was a perfect Saturday to show our school campus some love. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Community Care Day, helping to make our school beautiful for our students. 💚

Please join us for another community-building opportunity at the PTA Picnic this Wednesday before the Open House. We will be meeting on the south lawn by the playground at 5 pm. Bring your family, a blanket and chairs, and your picnic dinner and get to know your Woodstock PTA! Learn about what the PTA does and how you can get involved. We will bring the treats! 🍪🧁

We are super excited to announce this year's Harvest Carnival theme! On Friday, October 23rd from 6 - 8 pm join us for our Myths and Magic Harvest Carnival! This is the PTA's biggest fundraising event of the year, and we cannot do it without your support. There are many ways to be involved from donations to planning to day of activities.

Step right up to the annual Woodstock Harvest Carnival!

This year, we’re leaning into all things magical, mystical, and mythological! Think fairies, dragons, unicorns, enchanted forests—and, because this is the PNW, of course, Bigfoot!

We’re creating a carnival filled with imagination, childhood wonder, silliness, and just a little bit of mystery.

What’s in Store?

✨ Magic & Whimsy Decor

🦶 He Lives! — Bigfoot Photo Op

🎪 Village Games & Prizes

🔮Madam Mystique — Fortune Teller

👻 A "Haunted" House — magical and mysterious, but not too scary, with fun for all ages

🎨 The Craft Room — a quiet, creative, sensory-friendly space

🍪 A Potluck of Goodies

🎬 Movie Room — details TBD

🧚 We Need Your Magic!

We need you to step right up with your various talents, ideas, and dreams. This year, we’re taking inspiration from all manner of fairy tales and mythological stories to create a celebration filled with magic, imagination, and childlike wonder.

An event this magical takes a village, and we’re looking for some awesome volunteers to help bring it all to life! There are many ways to volunteer: planning before the event, donating baked goods, running activities at the event (note that shifts do not run for the entire event and you will be contacted for your preference closer to the event), helping with clean up, and more! Volunteering is always more fun with friends, so grab a crew and tackle a task.

If you are interested in leading a room - please reach out directly to me: Sonia.milbank@gmail.com

A Special Guest will be joining the SE 60th/Reedway Bike Bus this Friday! There will be donuts for both bike buses when we arrive at school. Check out the Woodstock Bike Bus map to find the route closest to you.

Parent volunteers run the Bike Bus and would be glad to have additional parents help with corking the intersections. Please check out this helpful video by Bike Stuff PDX to learn more about corking. Feel free to chat with any of the Bike Bus leaders to learn more about how you can help. Bike Buses roll every Friday, rain or shine. Ready to roll with us? Join the Bike Bus WhatsApp Group for the route closest to you: Northside WhatsApp Group and the SE 60th/Reedway WhatsApp Group.
