Last week, we trained our Leadership Ambassadors who are going to serve as Win Win Buddies for our younger students. The students discussed what it meant to be a mentor and learned how this leadership role works on our campus. Even cooler is that seasoned mentors took time giving wisdom to new peer mentors by answering questions and giving suggestions. Student leadership rocks at Woodlawn. #itssweettobeaneagle #thewoodlawnway
🐄🐓🐐🐴 It was a fun day on the FARM for our kindergarten leaders.

Yesterday was National IT Professionals Day and we have to give a shout out to our two amazing tech gurus, Mrs. Noethlich and Mrs. Gauger. These two ladies are the magic behind all things tech and work to problem solve and support our big campus so that we are in full operation with Internet, laptops, chromebooks, our website, online programs, and more. Help us give them a Woodlawn shout-out. #ItsSWEETtobeanEagle #TheWoodlawnWay
Friday was Fable Olympics in first grade. Students have been reading different fables and learning about the moral of a story. On Friday they had an opportunity to dress up as their favorite fable characters and compete in games based on the stories they read in class. Huge shout out to our first grade team for adapting their Olympics to be indoor once we went on Controlled Campus. Many more pictures are on our Facebook page. #ItsSWEETtobeanEagle #TheWoodlawnWay
Last week's controlled campus was not on our agenda for the day, but we want to thank everyone who jumped in to help ensure we kept student and staff safety our top priority. Thank you to our parents who were patient during the check-out process, thank you to our teachers who kept fun things and instruction happening for our students still on campus, thank you to our front office staff for running the front desk seamlessly and calmly with high volumes of calls and early check outs, and to our resource and support staff who covered duties, escorted students, and helped wherever needed.
But we must give a huge Woodlawn shout out to our amazing School Resource Officer, Diego Serrano. He stationed himself at our front gate from 9:00 AM-1:45 PM checking any visitor’s ID and ensuring that our students and staff were safe. We are forever grateful for his dedication to the safety of our school.
Teamwork makes the Dream work and yesterday was a beautiful testimony to the hearts and dedication of the people of Woodlawn Elementary School. It truly is SWEET to be an Eagle. #thewoodlawnway
