Just before the holidays, PTO was able to present Fall Curriculum and Enrichment Grants to WE teachers, staff, and administrators. Thanks to YOU - our very generous Woodridge community - & the record-breaking amount raised at Carnival, WE gave over $80,000 and were able to approve every single request from teachers, staff & administration! Some of the items granted include:
- Countless materials & resources related to English, Science, & Math, including something for every single grade or class
- Professional Development workshop on Writing - all staff
- Additional EduKits for those in need
- Microwaves in Teachers Lounge (to replace broken ones)
- HEB gift cards to supplement Holiday Angels donations
- Kind Squad t-shirts
- Support for specific programs such as OM, & new Military appreciation initiatives
- Specials (PE, music, etc.) replacement supplies & various classroom/campus supplies
This is just a small sample of the many requests received, and we are SO proud of our ability to fund the many campus & classroom enriching requests. We are confident that these Curriculum and Enrichment grants will enhance our school and students immensely.
Additionally, because of how much was raised through Carnival, we will NOT be hosting an official Spring Fundraiser! Instead we hope you'll support a handful of Dine-Out/Community Fundraising efforts & continue ordering Papa John's as these are easy ways local businesses will give back to WE PTO.
Again, we are so glad to be able to provide so many extra items that the school's budget doesn't cover - all thanks to YOU! As we embark on the remaining months of the second semester, I am once again humbled and grateful for our community's dedication to our school and children.
With sincerest appreciation, Jamie Kimball, PTO President '24-'25
