PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
It’s hard to believe it’s already May. It’s exciting to see more students returning to campus to finish strong. This Wednesday we will host freshmen for Biology and Algebra STAAR support and time with their Link Crew mentors. Also on Wednesdays we’re turning the library into a Senior Center with food and music to make sure each member of the Class of 2021 graduates. Finally, this week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope that you’ll take a moment to share a note of gratitude for your student’s teachers. Thank you for partnering with us to make Woodrow the exemplary school for teaching and learning.
