- Regional Spelling Bee
- 3/08/2010
- Emma Lanford (fourth grader) made it to round 4 in the
regional spelling bee on Saturday, March 6, at Duke
University. She was in the top 17 out of 54 students, most
of whom were 8th graders. Some of the words she had to spell
were loam, succotash, and implement. The winner was an 8th
grader from another charter school. We are very proud of
Emma for representing Woods so well, and we look forward to
next year's bee in elementary and middle school. Thanks to
Heather Gallagher for organizing our local bee.

- Music Technology Projects
- 1/24/2010
- The high school Jazz Studies students wanted to create an
online musical experience, inspired by the web page
inbflat.net - a page full of embedded YouTube videos with
instrumentalist playing in the key of B flat. We chose to
play in the key of D major, and the results can be seen at
www.woodscharter.org/keyofd - you can even see Mr. Bryan
playing his dulcimer! The 5th & 6th grade band also tried
this experiment, but in the key of C major. Their page is at
www.woodscharter.org/keyofc.

- After School Policy
- 11/23/2009
- This email is to remind the community of Board policy
related to students on campus after the regular school day
ends. It is also a reminder of our first home basketball
games this coming Friday, November 20. Many students and
parents abide by the rules and participate enthusiastically.
Thank you. There are a few students who push the limits, and
some parents do not pick up their children on time. For that
reason, we are reminding everyone of the expectations.
- Volunteer Recognition Program
- 10/20/2009
- Just a quick reminder for our wonderful volunteers to ensure
you record your hours online. It is simple to do and we need
to ensure everyone is taking the time to complete this step.
Go to our website and at the very top is VOLUNTEERS. Click
on that and it will take you to a page where you will see
the registry for volunteer hours. Quick, easy and will allow
me to add you to our new Volunteer Recognition Program.
Details to come soon but remember; we can only recognize
those that have signed the registry. If you have
volunteered at school and signed in, those hours will be
entered by Kayla, our after school receptionist. Any
questions or ideas please email hgallagher@woodscharter.org.
