Dear Parents and Guardians,
I would like to congratulate our 5th and 6th grade band students on the excellent job they did this week at their concerts held at Shaker Heights High School. We have wonderful band instructors that do great work with our students. It's amazing the growth from 5th grade to 6th grade. Our Woodbury Bands sound like they are in high school! Job well done students and staff!
Congratulations goes out to our 5th and 6th Grade Male Scholars. We enjoyed celebrating with them this week during their Induction Ceremony. I would like to thank Mr. Reese and Mr. Brooks, Scholar Advisors for the hard work and dedication they provided to our male scholars.
Thank you for another great week at Woodbury Elementary School!
Always believe!
D. Young, Principal
