SMWConnect: Monthly newsletter for Woods alumnae/i
Dear Alumnae/i,

Christmas is a season that truly exemplifies the spirit of The Woods. Holiday cheer, from the merry carols of our Equine Holiday Ride to the selfless gift giving that solidifies our mission, always connects us more deeply to our Woods family near and far.

Thank you for all you do for us here at The Woods. We are truly honored to call you all alumnae/i. We hope you and your families have a blessed and safe holiday and a happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Chanel's Signature
