Reading is a Thrill at Woodrow Wilson!

Thank you to all who attended our fourth annual Read, Write & Share Day and visited the Book Fair Carnival in the gym today. Students chose books to purchase, had their faces painted (ringmaster mustaches were a popular choice), had souvenir photos taken on the Read-a-Coaster, created sand art, and won prizes at the Book Walk and Strong Man and Woman Contest. It was a thrilling day for students to celebrate reading with their families!


A special thanks to everyone who took the time to complete our Family Survey. We value your input and will use it to strengthen our home-school connection. Thank you for your support!

Students Caught Reading

Students are busy reading in preparation for Read Write & Share Day. During our first week, students read a total of 401 books towards our schoolwide goal of 2,000. Also three lucky students -- one from each grade level -- who were "caught reading" won a stuffed gorilla and a gift certificate to our upcoming Book Fair Carnival. Congratulations, students!
