Good afternoon, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the week. A very special shout out goes to Mr. Jensen Long and Ms. Faughn Blair, as we celebrate them during National Assistant Principals Week. We are so grateful for all the ways they help the students and staff at Woodson Elementary, from guiding students to make good decisions, taking care of the staff, arranging substitutes, celebrating others, helping to run the school smoothly and efficiently, and all of the too many to mention things they do. WES is surely blessed to have two of the very best assistant principals. We thank you for your continued hard work & dedication!
Congratulations to our Staff Member of the Week, Mrs. Janell Hale. She has an unwavering dedication to the Play Pals Group and PreK through K children. She consistently goes above and beyond, often working after hours to ensure every session is engaging, enriching, and well-prepared.
This week we celebrate our Students of the Week, Alexa Pennate Redondo in PreK-4 and Toriah Whidbee in 3rd Grade. Alexa makes sure all of her friends have someone to play with. She comes to school smiling every day. Toriah has been working really hard. She will complete her work without help. She is a great friend. Congratulation’s ladies, we are so proud of you both!!!
