Good evening, Woodson Wave Families, this is Liz Berry with some updates for the coming week.  Congratulations to our Staff Members of the Week; our Kindergarten teachers, Mrs. Lauren Beauchamp, Mrs. Brittany Derrickson, and Ms. Savannah Hoffman.  They work hard to make learning fun and engaging during the early years.  They put on a wonderful exhibition showcasing their students and their knowledge of farms.  Everyone enjoyed looking at their work and talking with the students about their writing.  Great job Kindergarten Team!!!

Our Students of the Week are Rylee Baker and Jayden Lovaton Montelongo.  Both of these young ladies are in First Grade.  Rylee is being recognized for always following the Woodson Way with a smile!  She displays kindness to others by her willingness to help out whenever she is needed.  Jayden is being celebrated for being a superstar student and a friend to all.  Her kindness shines through the way she looks out for others.  Congratulations ladies!  Keep up the good work!

This week we celebrate “Staff Appreciation Week” for all of our amazing teachers and staff members.  They are top notch at Woodson Elementary and do their absolute best to provide a fun, nurturing, safe, and engaging learning environment.  We cannot begin to say thank you enough to them for giving their all every day.  Woodson would not be the same without our teachers, paraprofessionals, student services, administrative associates, administration, nurses, custodians, and our food & nutrition ladies.  You are a phenomenal group.  Thank you for all you do!

This Wednesday, May 7th, we celebrate our School Nurse’s as it is Nurse Appreciation Day!  We have the amazing Mrs. Lisa Lawson, Mrs. Marshonia McClendon, and Ms. Tanisha Collins.  They do a wonderful job taking care of our students and staff.  They provide nurturing and care to all in need at Woodson Elementary.  We are so glad to have the best of the best!

We are celebrating Children’s Mental Health Matters Week.  Our Student Services team has different things planned for each day of the week.  On Friday, May 9th, we will have a free casual day for students and staff members.  We are asking everyone to wear green in support of children’s mental health.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message and have a good evening!
