FALL PARTY - THANK YOU!

The 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, Stevenson High School student volunteers and Woodlawn staff members who dedicated their time to make this a fun event for all! 

A very special thank you…  

To our PTO Fall Party Committee and Chairs who started preparations months prior to the event: Sarah Baker, Stacey Costabile, Mollie Fisher, Alma Krvavac, Kruti Parkash and Liz Kozachuk. Thank you also to our Executive Board Members who always help behind-the-scenes and to our Food & Entertainment Vendors who were all outstanding!

ANNOUNCEMENTS/ACTIVITIES 

Fall Scholastic Book Fair: November 11th to 15th

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! Just a reminder..like last year we have to apply sales tax to all book sales!

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 use at 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. 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.
