Woodlawn Elementary School

Wednesday was our Ellis Island simulation for our 2nd grade leaders. Students took on the role of an immigrant trying to make their way to our country through Ellis Island. Students had to go through baggage checks and health exams, they had to exchange their currency for American dollars, and had to pass their naturalization exam before being admitted into America. Some students were even detained! Who says learning can’t be fun? A huge shout out goes to our volunteers who helped make this special experience happen. Check our Facebook page for lots of pictures from this great event. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess

We had the honor of recognizing two very special eagles who are retiring at the end of this school year. Mrs. Jayma Hitt retires after 37 years of service and all 37 of those years were at Woodlawn! She is a pillar of our school and will be greatly missed. Mrs. Yvonne McDonald retires after 36 years of teaching, with her last three being at Woodlawn. Both of these ladies leave a legacy of excellence and we wish them the best in their next chapters! And remember…Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle! #TheWoodlawnWay

Our 3rd graders’ trip to LegoLand was this week. Thankful for a great day and that the weather held off so that these students could wrap up their year in style. Everything was AWESOME! More pictures on our Facebook page. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess

Last week, our first graders went on a Westward Expedition. They were Trail Blazers through the Appalachian mountains like Daniel Boone; they purchased the Louisiana Territory from France then paddled west on the Missouri River like Lewis and Clark to the Great Plains where they discovered new animals! They then met Sacajawea, crossed the Rocky Mountains by foot and finally reached the Pacific Ocean. Our first grade teachers are true magic makers. See our Facebook page for more pictures. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #StudentSuccess

We crossed the finish line of our amazing staff appreciation week with breakfast donated from our Sebring Wendy’s. We are so thankful for their partnership! This was the perfect way to fuel up for our Goose Chase after school. Teams of teachers chased around town doing fun challenges. We ended at Sweet Frog to wrap up our amazing week. We are so thankful for our parents and community sponsors for making this a week to remember. We have #Onemission #Studentsuccess Luckily for us this rockstar staff makes celebrating them easy. #TheWoodlawnWay

Tuesday’s leg of The Amazing Race landed us in Mexico as we celebrated Taco Tuesday for Staff Appreciation week. Thanks to our amazing Parent Lighthouse Team and Sophie’s Cafe for the awesome taco bar. It was delicious. In addition, more gnomes were found around campus. We also ended our day with a shopping spree sponsored by Office Depot. Our staff had a blast shopping for items for their classrooms. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess

Yesterday we entered the last leg of our Amazing Race with Staff Appreciation Week! Monday’s travels took us to Italy as staff enjoyed an Italian themed lunch courtesy of our Parent Lighthouse Team. Our staff has been on a great mission this year and we can’t wait to celebrate them all week. Also, shout out to a few of our staff members who found the Travelocity gnomes around campus. They traded those in for free pedicures thanks to Top Nail/Nail Lounge. More pictures on our Facebook page. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess

We had an opportunity to celebrate the sometimes unsung heroes of a school…our amazing substitutes. At Woodlawn, our subs are STARS in our eyes and we loved celebrating them at Sweet Frog today! These amazing individuals answer the call to serve, often times late at night and early in the morning. They stand in the gap when our staff is away to keep our school running. Also, a huge shout out to Donna Brown, our sub puzzle master. We wouldn’t survive without her. #TheWoodlawnWay #OneMission #studentsuccess
