Woodward PTO Newsletter October 2015 Woodward PTO Newsletter

Woodward Elementary PTO Newsletter October 2015 President’s Note THANK YOU Happy October Woodward families! It has been a busy month at Woodward. The students (and staff!) have been working very hard! We’re almost at the end of our Read-A-Thon and the students have logged over 121,106 minutes!! We’ve exceeded our school goal of reading 100,000 minutes!! A huge THANK YOU to our students for exceeding the school goal! But don’t stop reading now - we still have until the end of this week to add to our grand total so continue to enourage your student to keep on reading! Also, the PTO officers will be coming around this week and voting for the best decorated door. The winner will be announced during the Celebration Day activities on the 29th. I can’t believe we are almost at the end of October…. The holidays will be here before we know it! With the holiday season comes many opportunities to volunteer!
