Other announcements:

Thursday, February 18^th from 7-8 pm there will be a budget meeting here at Woodbury in the MPR. With the massive cuts coming our way next year (projected $23.8 million), it is important to be current with our information of what changes may occur to our school. I would like to encourage you to make an effort to attend this meeting to hear more about the current financial crisis facing our school district and our school and find out ways that you can help ensure that our children continue to receive the finest education possible! Together, we can make a difference!
