Woodland Heights Offers New 'Woodland Wildcat' Apparel

Thanks to the contributions of many WHS staff members and students, we now have new school colors (green & white), and a new 'Woodland Wildcat' mascot logo. Here is a peak at our new wildcat -- I think you'll agree that he is a serious, smart, and friendly looking fellow:

Now thanks to our beloved WHS-PTO, we have a new opportunity to purchase Woodland Wildcat apparel to promote school identity and pride. After all, "WE ARE WOODLAND!!"

Here is some information on what a local vendor has put together for our new school apparel drive. Students were recently sent home with order forms for this WHS 'bling'. If you missed the mailing, you can call or email us for an additional form -- or just stop by and visit your friends in the WHS Main Office anytime.

Show your Woodland Pride, and order your Wildcat gear soon!

Woodland Heights School, a 21st Century Learning Community!

Woodland Heights School is an Open-Concept public K-5 elementary school serving a diverse population of over 500 child and adult learners. In response to both the challenges and opportunities that lay ahead, our school community is in the process of a major initiative to become a '21st Century Learning Community'. What's that all about? Fundamentally, it is a commitment to teach more than the '3-Rs' (Reading, wRiting, & aRithmetic). This is due to our acknowledgement that the workplace and world of tomorrow will demand far more of its citizens. At Woodland Heights, we will sharpen our emphasis on teaching our students the '5-Cs' (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical thinking and global Citizenship). This program will be largely facilitated by the skillful integration of 21st Century Learning and Communication Tools (computers, internet, netbooks, LCD projectors, interactice whiteboards, digital cameras, video cameras, document cameras, headsets & microphones, etc.). At WHS, our students will not only be the receivers of knowledge, but will also become collaborative problem-solvers and creators of knowledge!
