Coming soon: Inviting all Wildcats to join the hunt!
Woodin Teams Scavenger Hunt. A fun activity to get out of the house and have some fun while social-distancing! Three types of missions to be completed for points:
1) location – use clues to locate a specific GPS coordinate location
2) Trivia – use clues, online research or any means to identify the correct answer to a trivia question – spelling and exact answers matter
3) picture/video evidence – complete a task and take a picture or video evidence to show the completed task (find something, make something, create something, etc)
If you would be willing to help coordinate the sign-up, promotion, and prizes, let us know. We have many prizes donated already and the actual Scavenger Hunt will be created by a company called Goose Chase. We'll be doing this in partnership with Canyon Creek, Ruby Bridges, Skyview and Northshore PTSA Council.
Nominating Committee
Heather Pybas has been elected to the Nominating Committee. Thank you, Heather! We need two more committee members. Please let us know if you’re interested. It is a short-term volunteer commitment. The Nominating Committee reaches out to members to find candidates to run for Board Positions for next year. By March 9th, they will publish the list of nominees to be voted on at the General Meeting on March 23rd. Then the new Board can start planning for the following school year. Their term starts July 1st.
Other Teams!
Please email us at contact@pta.org to join any of the following planning teams:
Bingo, Science Fair, 5th Grade of Year Celebration, or Multi-cultural Event. We need volunteers to make these events happen. Thank you!
We love our Woodin community!
We have raised nearly $10,000 for our "We Can Do More Together" Campaign! And thank you for participating in the Book Fair, for ordering Spirit Wear, and grabbing take-out at MOD Pizza to support Woodin PTA and our school! We appreciate it!
Spotlight on PTA Enrichment:
Why do we PTA? To connect families and provide enriching social activities for our kids. At the recent Natural Leaders meeting, several first-grade families exchanged phone numbers because they have felt isolated during COVID. Families that have just started at Woodin have extra challenges finding friends and support. One family has started a Facebook page for first grade families. There are Facebook pages for each grade. If you haven’t found yours contact your teacher or email us at contact@woodinpta.org and we’ll help you find it. These pages are not run by the school or PTA but we support our families’ efforts to connect with each other. If you don’t Facebook, we can help you find contact information for other families that have given permission for their information to be shared.
5th Grade End of Year Celebration
Thank you, Michelle Ngo, for volunteering to chair this committee! Please let her know if you can help plan the celebration of our 5th-graders at the end of the year! Email us at contact@woodinpta.org.
