The Woodstock Weekly

We made it to the end of September! We hope you've been enjoying the last bits of mild weather before the rain and autumn chill. Being a parent and caring for children these days means balancing the challenges of raising them in uncertain times with the joy, silliness, and light that creates the sense of security they deserve. We're ready for all the fun community-building events we have planned for our school in October, and we're excited to continue to support our Woodstock Lions proudly.

Volunteers will hand out stickers and other fun goodies to the participating children! Get to school early to make sure you have time to get a sticker. More info in next week's PTA newsletter! Walk & Roll to School Days encourage schools, families, and communities worldwide to walk and roll to school together on the same day to promote health, reduce traffic congestion and pollution, and foster community connection. Walk & Roll to School on October 8th with other Woodstock families!

Join Areej for a yoga and somatic release session in the cafeteria on Monday, October 20, 4:15–5:15 pm. Bring yourself, your mat, and your water bottle and Areej will have bolsters and blocks for you to borrow. These sessions are open to all Woodstock teachers, staff, and parents.

Let's come together to spruce up our garden and make it even more beautiful on Saturday, October 25th, 9–11 AM at the Woodstock Elementary School Garden. Please bring gloves, shovels, rakes, yard waste bags, and wheelbarrows if you have them.
