Woodland Elementary PTA - Greer, SC

Our PTA Membership Drive is ON! So far, we have 25 family members who have joined our PTA here: https://woodlandpta.givebacks.com/shop/items/14848

Join our PTA to receive our newsletters about volunteer opportunities and general goings-on at Woodland. We will raffle off two gift baskets at our Volunteer Breakfast to those who have joined and payed dues!

Also, please complete our Volunteer Interest Form. This is how we reach out for volunteers for specific needs, like our upcoming Picture Day! So far, only 18 wonderful volunteers have completed this form: https://forms.gle/MN9WtEgcKwxtYvyE7

Whoo hoo, we made it through the first week of school!

We hope you all are settling into a routine and your child is loving Woodland this year.

You should have received our pamphlet today with all of the information about our PTA and how to get involved in school this year! It provides details for how to officially join PTA and pay your dues, and our Volunteer Interest Form. I know sometimes it's annoying to scan a QR code, so I will post both links in the comments. It also includes a paper form to detach and return if you want to pay in cash.

At our Volunteer Breakfast in September, we will draw two of our members to win a raffle basket! You don't have to be present to win; you just have to officially join PTA and pay dues in Givebacks (the website the South Carolina PTA uses for memberships and PTA purchases.) Bonus points if you also complete the Volunteer Interest Form.

We are meeting next week to set the date for our Volunteer Breakfast in early September, when we will go over all of the basics of volunteering and what we do for the staff and students. (Don't worry if you can't attend....we will send out a newsletter with the highlights. But it's a free breakfast if you can attend!)

If you shop at Lowes Foods, you will find a QR code on the pamphlet to link your loyalty card to Woodland. They send us a check periodically for their Brown Bag purchases made with linked loyalty cards!

***Reminder for Faculty and Staff: We are aiming for 100% membership from our amazing faculty and staff! Please see the form in your box, and also remember to complete the Faculty Favorites form so we all know what you love! We have deleted last year's info so we can start fresh.

Hey Woodland Families!

The cafeteria needs assistance with serving students lunch on Taco Tuesdays. We need 3 volunteers each Tuesday from 10:10 AM - 12:10 PM. You will need to be a Level 2 Volunteer, wear closed toe shoes, and have your hair back in a ponytail. They can provide you with hair nets if needed.

See the Sign-up Up Genius below to volunteer!

Thank you so much for your willingness to help!

How are we celebrating the first day of school, parents?

1: Buying a crumbl cookie for yourself (whoo, we made it through the summer! Treat yo' self!)

2: Buying crumbl cookies for your kids (good job for making it through day one!)

3: Buying a crumbl cookie for your child's teacher (made it through the first day.....gotta pass the torch!)

4. Do you really need a reason to buy a crumbl cookie?

If you visit the Crumbl Cookie on Wade Hampton Blvd today, August 11, between 4pm and 9pm, Woodland Elementary School will receive a percentage of the profits!

Tonight! Celebrate back to school with a sweet treat and Crumbl will donate a portion of their proceeds to Woodland.

Welcome to, or back to, Woodland! We would love to see your back-to-school photos here!

Somehow, we have come upon the last weekend of summer break. Please share all of the adventures your family has had! We want to see what our Wildcats have been up to!!!

Good morning, Woodland families!!!! We hope you had a successful time yesterday meeting our wonderful teachers, and that you're ready to start the school year.

Now that you have your red folders, you may be wondering, "Where is the PTA information?"

We created a new brochure explaining all about ourselves that will go home sometime next week. Our membership numbers were down last year, and we thought it was because the papers got lost in the shuffle of all the beginning of the year paperwork. Unfortunately, we made this decision after the other flyers were printed. We're sorry for the confusion!

We have also fixed the Bella's Bags link. We did not realize it had expired, so thank you to those who reached out to let us know!

Happy Meet the Teacher day, Wildcats! We were back in the building today with a pizza lunch for the faculty and staff.

Remember, 1st, 2nd, and 4th grade students come today from 3:30-4:30, and K5 and 3rd Grade students come from 5:30-6:30.
