• The Winter Festival is almost here (2/11/12), and the 5th Grade is planning for a successful bake sale fundraiser. To accomplish this, we need lots and lots of yummy treats to sell. I would greatly appreciate it if parents, who have kids from any grade, make treats or buy treats from the store and bring it to the bake sale. The treats need to be sold individually--cookies, brownies, cupcakes, etc. Proceeds from the sale will go toward the 5th grade gift to the school. In addition, if your 5th grader and/or middle schooler (middle schoolers get SSL hours) can volunteer for an hour, or whatever time they're available, please contact Abbi Lichtenstein. Also please let me know whether you'll bring baked treats.
• Back by popular demand, it's the 2012 Teacher & Staff Raffle! Your child/children should have received a raffle form in backpack mail. This annual favorite coincides with the Winter Festival, which is on Saturday, February 11 from 2:00-5:00. Tickets can be pre-purchased or purchased during the Festival. The drawing will occur at around 4:45 pm, and students need not be present to win. All pre-orders are due by no later than Friday morning, February 10. Questions, contact Krista M.
• SAVE THE DATE: WOODLIN WINTER FESTIVAL SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 11 Woodlin will hold its annual Winter Festival Saturday, February 11 from 2:00-5:00 p.m. Along with the fun festival activities, the PTA will hold its popular Silent Auction to raise funds for school programs. The Silent Auction is a fun and easy way to support Woodlin. There will be more than 100 items to bid on, in all price ranges, donated by area businesses and other Woodlin friends. Bring your wallet on February 11 and support Woodlin by bidding on great items such as local restaurants, ski lessons and lift tickets, birthday party venues, theater tickets, autographed sports items, salon certificates, landscaping services and more. If you would like to help out by donating an item or service to the auction, fill out and return the auction donation form by January 20. Questions? Contact the auction co-chairs.

• The Woodlin Memory Book Team to collect photos for this year's memory book! We are looking for great photos to include from the first day, PTA events, concerts, plays, special grade level events, holidays, spirit days, field trips or anything that shows off how amazing our Woodlin Wizards are! There are two ways to get pictures to us:
  1. If you have lots of pictures, the easiest way to get them to us is by sending in a CD with the pictures burned on it. Please include the names of students, classes or the grade level if possible to help with sorting the images. Please address the case or envelope to Woodlin Memory Book, Ms. Whyte, Kindergarten.
  2. We also created a gmail account to help collect photos being sent in, woodlinmemorybook@gmail.com. In your email please identify students, classes or the grade level to help us with sorting the images.
  Questions, contact Lindsey W.
