Dear Woodburn Families,

November is a great month to be thankful. So

let me first thank you for participating in our

parent teacher conference week. During the

week, 95% of our families had conferences

and we have a few others scheduled beyond

this week. We are so grateful for your com-

mitment to your child’s education. Parent and

family involvement in a child’s education is

the number one factor in a student’s academ-

ic achievement.

On November 2nd we held our annual Veter-

an’s Day Assembly. Our students and staff

honored those who have served our country

through song, a moment of silence, and a

reading of purpose of Veteran’s Day. Mr. Ain-

ley, our music teacher, led our students in

singing, “The Star Spangled Banner”, “Grand

Old Flag”, “America the Beautiful”, “America”,

and “God Bless America”. It was powerful to

have all the service members in attendance

stand as our students sang to them. We had a

great turn out of community members and

families in attendance.

For the month of November, we are focusing

on gratitude as our Wolf Pride character trait.

We encourage you to join with us in teaching

students to importance of showing gratitude.

Gratitude is the appreciation for the benefits

we receive from others and the desire to re-

ciprocate. Consider asking your children the

following questions: What are you grateful for

today? How can you show appreciation for

others?

As we approach Thanksgiving, I’m reminded

of how much we have to be thankful for at

Woodburn: our freedom, our teachers & staff,

our families, and our 530 wolves. We are

thankful for our wonderful volunteers who

help out in so many ways to create rich learn-

ing experiences for kids. We are thankful for

our PAWS group who organize fun events and

help to celebrate our students. We are fortu-

nate to live in a community where we enjoy

the support of our parents, businesses, and

community members. You all help to make

Woodburn a great school.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, feel free to call me 833-5860 ext. 78221 or email me at brian.graham@camas.wednet.edu.

Make every day count!
