School Update:

During Mr. Sprong’s leave, Mr. Hutton has been reconnecting with students, teachers, and families. He will be here to support Woodbine as Acting Principal until Mr. Sprong returns. However, for the week of September 22, Mr. Hutton has a previous commitment, as such Mr. Kris Reinhardt will be Acting Principal.

Let’s Create an Opera Residency:

Woodbine School is excited to announce that we are taking part in the Let’s Create an Opera (LCO) residency this year, thanks to the wonderful support of our School Council. This unique, year-long program will give students the chance to be creators. All students from K-6, will help write the story, shape the music, design elements, and, in the spring, perform in a full opera production!

We kicked things off with a captivating assembly on Tuesday this week, where students were introduced to opera in a fun and interactive way. The energy and enthusiasm in the gym set the stage for what promises to be an unforgettable creative journey.
