Woodlawn Fall Party: Thank You!
Fall Party was a huge success! Thank you to all of our amazing volunteers who helped before, during and after the party! We truly could not hold an event of this capacity without the help of numerous volunteers.
Thank you to all of our Woodlawn parent/caregiver volunteers, high school student volunteers and Woodlawn staff members who dedicated their time to make this a fun event for all!
A special thank you…
- To our PTO Fall Party Committee and Chairs who started preparations months prior to the event: Sarah Baker, Stacey Costabile, Erin Ferguson, Alma Krvavac, Joi Sherwood and Preeti Gulati.
- Thank you also to our Executive Board Members who always help behind-the-scenes and to our Food and Entertainment Vendors who were all outstanding!
Announcements / Activities
Fall Scholastic Book Fair: Save the Dates, November 14-18
Woodlawn will be hosting its Scholastic Book Fair this fall in the Learning Center. Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings kids the books they want to read. We'll receive a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level, and all purchases benefit our school! 
eWallet: Book Fair eWallet is a digital payment option that’s a safe, convenient alternative to cash. It's easy to create an eWallet for students to shop the Fair. The account owner simply adds funds.
At the time of checkout, the eWallet account can be looked up on the register or scanned for payment at the Fair. Set up an account for each child now through November 18.
Please note: Any funds remaining on your ewallet account will not be refunded, but can be used for a future book fair/child, including book fairs held at Kildeer and Country Meadows elementary schools.
