GRADE 8 END OF THE YEAR
We're in limbo for planning any special events for our students at this time; however, we will be able to carry out our tradition of giving each outgoing 8th-grader a gift from the Woodlawn PTO. This year we plan to give the students a hooded sweatshirt. This week students will be sent a Google form link through their school accounts. We are asking students to let us know the size they would like to order. Any student who does not complete the form will receive a hooded sweatshirt in size Adult Large.
Through the Woodlawn PTO MEMBERSHIP TOOLKIT, we are offering to families of our graduating 8th graders personalized yard signs and Stevenson T-shirts.
To ensure you get your items by the end of the school year, we have to order early! Orders are due by Mar. 18! Don't forget to place your order BEFORE Spring Break!

THANK YOU STAFF HOSPITALITY–SPRING CONFERENCES DINNER
Spring Conferences are here! Thank you to everyone who generously donated to help provide dinner for all the Woodlawn teachers and staff during Spring Conferences. The Woodlawn PTO and teachers truly appreciate your generosity. Thank you!
PTO VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
We would like to spotlight two very special volunteers this month: Elisha Magnifico and Melissa Greenberg.
Melissa and Elisha have headed our Staff Hospitality Committee the past three years and always outdo themselves when planning and implementing meals for the staff and ideas for staff appreciation. They have had themes such as "Stranger Things" and "Harry Potter" and have even had live music to relax our teachers before conferences. Little did we know that event would come to an abrupt end and we would not be returning to school until almost a year later. Through it all, they have persevered and adapted to continue to provide teachers and staff with meaningful gifts that show our support and appreciation. In the spring they created a slideshow of our community and students sharing their thanks (it brought many to tears). This fall they assembled care packages with a "Survivior" theme that were hand-delivered by Mr. Grana and Ms. Garlick.
Most recently, Mr. Grana has tapped their talents on campus beautification and they have been working tirelessly. They have collected motivational quotes from teachers and staff, transferring them onto vinyl cutouts and adhering them to the walls throughout the school! They have hung over 60 quotes so far! They also were instrumental in assisting with the diversity posters Mr. Grana shared in his previous blog.
Currently they are planning a wonderful meal for our teachers for spring conferences. We can't wait to share pictures with you of their final project. They are working with the locally owned restaurant Jameson's Charhouse to bring our teachers a very special meal!
Thank you Elisha and Melissa for all you do! You enhance our community in so many ways!
