Woodlawn PTO Blog, September 8, 2023

Thank You!

Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who have helped get this year up and running! 

Thank you to those who joined us at Locker Set Up night and who helped with organizing and sorting gym clothes the day before! It was great to see friends old and new. 

Thank you Hospitality Committee. Thanks are in order to all the volunteers who helped to set up the “Welcome Back” hospitality lunch for our teachers and staff. It was a great way to show our Woodlawn Staff how much we care with a fun apple theme! 

Thank you, 6th Grade Lunch Volunteers. Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered during the Welcome to Woodlawn lunch for our 6th graders. The kids enjoyed their lunch and seeing their parents! We hope you had a good time as well. If your 6th grader was absent or did not receive their 6th grade favor, please let us know as we have extras available.
