Friday was Fable Olympics in first grade. Students have been reading different fables and learning about the moral of a story. On Friday they had an opportunity to dress up as their favorite fable characters and compete in games based on the stories they read in class. Huge shout out to our first grade team for adapting their Olympics to be indoor once we went on Controlled Campus. Many more pictures are on our Facebook page. #ItsSWEETtobeanEagle #TheWoodlawnWay
Last week's controlled campus was not on our agenda for the day, but we want to thank everyone who jumped in to help ensure we kept student and staff safety our top priority. Thank you to our parents who were patient during the check-out process, thank you to our teachers who kept fun things and instruction happening for our students still on campus, thank you to our front office staff for running the front desk seamlessly and calmly with high volumes of calls and early check outs, and to our resource and support staff who covered duties, escorted students, and helped wherever needed.
But we must give a huge Woodlawn shout out to our amazing School Resource Officer, Diego Serrano. He stationed himself at our front gate from 9:00 AM-1:45 PM checking any visitor’s ID and ensuring that our students and staff were safe. We are forever grateful for his dedication to the safety of our school.
Teamwork makes the Dream work and yesterday was a beautiful testimony to the hearts and dedication of the people of Woodlawn Elementary School. It truly is SWEET to be an Eagle. #thewoodlawnway

Our Kindergarten Nursery Rhyme unit ended last week and ended it in style! Our kindergarten leaders had visits from special friends they’ve read about in their Nursery Rhymes.

Thanks to our families for flipping flapjacks as early as 6:30 am and our leadership ambassadors for helping serve. #itssweettobeaneagle #thewoodlawnway
Today we had the opportunity to host our Bus Drivers for breakfast and professional learning! We reviewed our SOAR expectations and how they apply on the bus.

We hosted an appreciation luncheon for the School Board of Highlands County Facilities staff. They are the unsung heroes of our district. When things go wrong, they are there to fix it and make it happen. They’ve completed so many construction projects for us this summer and our campus looks great. It’s just the beginning as we gear up for our New Wing. #thewoodlawnway #ItsSWEETtobeanEagle
