Principal’s Message:

Dear Woodward Families,

February is the month for many celebrations.

Black History Month, Valentine’s Day, and

Counselor’s week to name a few. Please take

time to speak with your child about the

reasons for these celebrations. Do you know

who invented the stop light, pace maker, or the

light bulb? Who is Dr. Shirley Jackson?

Thank you to Mrs. Warren and Ms. White for

their efforts in meeting the needs of our

students and families with supports in the area

of counseling and social work. We appreciate

all that you do!!!

Sincerely,

Dr. Carla F. Cunigan

In 1976, President Gerald Ford made Black History Month ”official”, saying that he was urging everyone to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” Every February since 1976, the United States has celebrated the achievements of African-Americans during Black History Month. The month-long celebration puts those accomplishments and milestones in focus via the media and in classrooms. We would like to invite you to join our morning assemblies in

February where we will share about an African -American achiever.

Our Habit of the month is ” Synergize Together is Better ”
