Hello Woodstock Family,


Here we are at the last school week of 2025! It's been an amazing start to the school year. Before we depart for two weeks of winter break the PTA would like to thank everyone who gave to the community this year. Whether it was giving your time at an event, your money at one of the many fundraisers, or simply showing up and being a part of the community we would like to thank you!


The PTA looks forward to carrying out our mission in the new year, making every child's potential a reality by empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.


We hope you have a restful and restorative break!


See you in 2026!

Your friendly PTA

Thank you to everyone who helped the No Stuff Fundraiser get near the goal. You've raised $12,103 and that's no small feat! We know there are a lot of requests for donations this time of year and we appreciate that you chose to invest in the children of Woodstock.


While you can continue to donate, the PTA will be shifting gears in the new year and focusing on the funding of school projects, programs, and community activities. Stay tuned for a call to submit Funding Proposals in January. Previous years have included OMSI and Reptile assemblies, the Free Small Library on the playground, a picnic table for the garden, and melodicas for the music room. What do you think Woodstock Elementary needs this year? Get thinking and we'll check back when we return.


Thank you again for supporting the Woodstock Elementary PTA.

Bike Buses encourage biking by creating designated routes to school that children and their families can join along the way.
