Good Night Sleep Tight!

​The Woodland PTA welcomes back the hilarious and talented juggling storyteller Chris Fascione as he brings stories to life during the annual “Good Night Sleep Tight” event on Friday, November 30th from 6:30-7:45 p.m. at Woodland Intermediate School.

This is a  FREE , all-ages, family event sponsored by the Woodland PTA. Children are encouraged to wear their pajamas and bring a blanket, pillow, or favorite stuffed animal. Milk and cookies will be served after the stories. An adult must accompany all children—this is not a drop-off event. There is no need to RSVP. Just come and enjoy the show.

Questions? E-mail Tanya Helt at thelt@dist50.net.

Holiday Shop is coming!

Music, food, fun and shopping! Woodland’s Holiday Shop will take place December 5th & 6th from 4 p.m. - 8 p.m. at Woodland Intermediate School.
Holiday Shop is a PTA-run event where the adults get a break and kids get to shop for their family, friends, or even pets with the help of volunteer “elves.” Look for more information and details throughout the schools or in your students’ take-home folders.

This event requires lots of volunteer help! High school volunteers are welcome! Sign up to volunteer at:

volunteer opportunity
​for parents and/or community members!

​This year Elementary East is continuing our BookNook Learning application. 

BookNook is a reading support program offered to our students 
and we would like to formally invite you to volunteer.  This year the reading program will be used in first through third grades and we are looking for parents/guardians/volunteers who are willing to help during BookNook's instructional time.  
​
If you are interested in participating, please contact Katie Culver (Assistant Principal at Elementary East) at kculver@dist50.net or 847-984-8800.  We LOVE volunteers in our school!
This year, instead of doing a used coat drive, the PTA joined forces with the Rotary Club of Gurnee to raise funds for Operation Warm.

As winter’s coldest days begin to close in on us, we are happy to report that thanks to your support, Woodland families raised $3,681 for Operation Warm! That means 184 students in our community will receive brand new coats. Your donations helped us send a message: every child in need deserves to feel loved and valued. Every child should be able to get to school and play outside on the coldest of days. For many children, this may be the FIRST brand new coat they have ever owned. Thank you again for your generosity!
