PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

WELCOME BACK FROM SPRING BREAK! I hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing break. I am excited about finishing off the year celebrating our 2021 senior class and looking forward to moving into a more normal mode next year. We are already planning next year's event dates like HOCO and will be announcing them soon. 

PTA has also been working hard with school admin to plan some amazing senior events to close out the year. Look for some big announcements coming next week! 

I feel that next school year we will be on track and PTA will need your help and support to get things back to normal for all our kids. Please consider becoming a member of the Woodrow PTA, grabbing a friend or two and joining a committee to help next year. Let’s continue working together to make it a better tomorrow for all our kids.

Chris Prestridge 
Woodrow PTA President
