Dash Thank You

Thank you for a fantastic Dash of the Runaway Wizards on October 20, 2023! Together, we’ve raised over $37K for the Woodlin PTA, with donations remaining open until November 4th.

This tremendous show of community support allows us to host assemblies and artist residencies, provide teacher and grade-level funds for field trips and enrichment, and hold fun community-building events like the upcoming Outdoor Family Dance on Saturday, November 4th. We’re working on plans to revive International Day, and for many events in the spring like our Earth Day celebration, STEM Day, the Geography Bee, and the big community Spring Fair. All of your contributions large and small make these things possible.

Thank you

*To everyone who donated

*To everyone who asked family, friends, and neighbors to donate

*To our generous corporate sponsors: Kids After Hours, Oak Contracting, Innovative Kitchen and Bath, Sweet Hairafter, Snider’s SuperFoods, Modern Dentistry, Fenwick Beer & Wine, Glimmer Images, RDCA-Woodlin CDC, Saul Architects, The Silver Spring Orthodontist, and Family Pet Veterinary Clinic

*To the Dash committee who made this day happen: Ali Harms Miller, Emily Adams, Angie Wilcox, and Jacqueline Kistler

*To the fundraising team who solicited corporate sponsorships: Christine Lao-Scott, Angie Lai and Ali Harms Miller

Dash of the Runaway Wizards

This year’s Dash of the Runaway Wizards will take place on Friday, October 20!

The Dash is a fun run that takes place at school and provides the students with an exciting and healthy way to raise money for the PTA. In fact, it is one of our largest fundraisers of the year – supporting activities, supplies for teachers, and so much more.

Mark your calendars, make a list of family and friends who can support your running wizard, and get ready to support Woodlin!

This is our final major fundraiser for the year – the Annual Woodlin Online Auction opens Saturday, April 15th at noon and runs for two weeks to April 29th. Check out the unique goods and services donated by our Woodlin families, gift certificates and vouchers from our generous local businesses, fun themed class baskets, and parties hosted by teachers!

Each year the Woodlin Elementary School PTA Auction raises critical funds to support our students, teachers, and staff.

  • 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.)
