Special thanks to Sarah Karush for planning this exciting enrichment activity.

The PTA funds an important array of enriching programs and events that benefit our children, school, and community. Due to the circumstances related to COVID-19, the Woodburn PTA decreased our budget this year and decided to forego multiple fundraisers in favor of a Direct Donation Fundraising Campaign.

Our fundraisers support teacher classroom grants and appreciation, enrichment programming, and social activities. This campaign is the PTA’s primary fundraiser and requests a one-time monetary donation rather than asking our community to sell items.

The only other fundraisers planned for the year are spirit wear, limited restaurant take out nights, and passive fundraising (e.g. Amazon Smile or Box Tops). Direct donations allow 100% of contributions to go directly to the PTA, and are tax-deductible.

Our goal is to raise $12,000 to support PTA programming.

Donate now and we won’t ask you again!

Our next PTA membership meeting will be held on October 22nd from 7 pm to 8 pm. 

We will share information about upcoming events and our direct donation campaign.

The meeting will focus on learning about the phase-in school plan. We will hear from Ms. Richman and have time for Q&A.

All are welcome to attend the meeting. Spanish translation will be available. We will be raffling off a few copies of Sofia Valdez, Future Prez (#raiseareader #woodburnreads).

In August, the Woodburn PTA applied for and won a $5,000 grant from the National PTA, sponsored by Tik Tok.  The PTA board made the decision to focus on the social and emotional health of Woodburn students.  Activities paid for by the grant will help them engage in mindfulness activities and get outside as much as possible. The grant will help support the following:

• A shade sail in the outdoor classroom
  • A new collaboration with Love and Carrots to install drip irrigation and a fall and spring vegetable garden
  • Grow at Home kits
  • A Little Library at Woodburn
  • A virtual enrichment series featuring artists, writers, farmers, and scientists.
  • Trips to Hidden Oaks Nature Centers for nature seminars

The board will move ahead with spending on this grant this in September. Please reach out to president@woodburnpta.org if you have any question or would like to help!
