Painting and Teacher Conferences

It is almost time for the big day when our family moves into our new home!  November 23rd is the move in day as our family begins a new chapter of our lives in Forest Hills.  We are so excited to be part of the Forest Hills community and my son is excited to go to Pine Ridge next year!

In order to get the house ready, I have been painting most nights after work and on weekends.  As I was talking with some parents at conferences, I began to see the connection between painting and conferences...

Veteran's Day

Central Woodlands was proud to host a Veteran’s Day assembly. We were honored to have two guest speakers who shared powerful messages with our students. One speaker was an Army Sergeant who recently returned from deployment in Afghanistan. Our other speaker is an active military spouse. Her husband is currently deployed in Afghanistan and has had seven deployments. Both speakers talked about “pride” as it relates to the men and women who volunteer to serve our country so we can enjoy the freedoms we hold dear. Our students were challenged to think of ways to give back to their school, family, and community to make Veteran's Day year round!

Mix it Up!!!

At the end of October, our school participated in National Mix It Up Day.  This is a day throughout the country where students are encouraged step outside of their comfort level and spend time with others than they normally do.  I have been in some schools where this simply meant putting up signs that say "Sit with someone new today."  Well at Central Woodlands, this was not the case...
