Seeking Earth Day Volunteers

Earth Day (Saturday, April 22) fast approaches, and Woodlin PTA is planning a great family event at Grosvenor! We’re looking for a few parents interested in helping pull all the pieces together. 

This is a great opportunity to dip your foot into what putting a PTA event together looks like with relatively minimal commitment. Please contact joanna[at]portgood[dot]org if you are interested and able to help.

PTA’s Seedling Fundraiser Announced

The Woodlin PTA 2023 Spring Seedling Sale takes place from Jan. 27- Feb .12. The Woodlin ES PTA is trying this new fundraiser with NextGenTreesUSA. 

This is a great opportunity to connect children with nature by planting native trees, help reforest our community’s next generation of trees, and raise funds for PTA programs.

  • Seedlings are $10 each, and about 65% of proceeds return to our PTA. 
  • Go to our school link to buy as many native trees (Northern Red Oak or Red Mulberry) as you wish. 
  • We’ll contact you in March-April when your seedlings are ready for pick up. (Pick up is TBD and will be somewhere central in our community.)

Information is in this flyer (pdf).

Please Join the PTA

All Woodlin families are welcome and have access to all PTA events, programming, and activities regardless of membership in the PTA. However, joining the PTA is a great way to show your support and help fund our programs. Annual membership dues are at a suggested amount of $20 per family or $12 per individual (teacher, community member, grandparent), but we welcome you to pay what you can, with a minimum of $5 to cover our state and local fees. Our goal is to foster participation and inclusion.

For those new to our school, the Woodlin PTA is an all-volunteer organization of parents, guardians, family members, teachers, and staff working together on behalf of our children. We work to 1) provide academic enrichment programs to all students; 2) host community-building events for all to enjoy; 3) advocate on behalf of the school’s needs at the local, county, and state levels; and 4) raise funds to support the school, teachers, and staff.
