Have you seen the Brick plaza on the patio outside the Auditorium? Have you used the Student Directory to find a phone number? Purchased grocery store Scrip? Did your student take the Mock SAT or ACT or purchase their summer reading book at school? All of these products and activities are provided for by the Woodson PTSO!
The PTSO’s Spring Fundraiser is underway and you don’t have to buy or sell anything! We are asking for a donation in any amount you would like to contribute. This school year your previous gifts have allowed the PTSO to support:

AP Computer Science	AP Human Geography Lab	Cav Cupboard
Choral Department	Custodian Appreciation	Debate, Forensics, & Student Congress
DJ for the After Game Dance and Senior Lock In	English Department Writing Awards	Girls State (Boys State is paid for by the American Legion)
LD, DHoH, ED – Work Awareness & Transition	Library DVDs	Model UN
Saturday Night in the Suburbs	Staff Member of the Month Recognition Award	Student Driver Magnets
Teacher Appreciation Luncheon	Teacher Birthday Gift Cards	Teacher of the Year Award
Theatre Arts	Woodson Writing Center	Woodson Parking Lot Coalition

In addition, for our Seniors, the PTSO sponsors Baccalaureate, the only occasion the Seniors have to wear their caps and gowns at Woodson, and Cavalier Cruise, the all night, alcohol free, drug free graduation party.

Without PTSO funding, many of these programs and projects would not have been implemented and might not be sustained.
We can’t do it without you!

The Woodson Community Coalition is in place to proactively support our parents and students regarding alcohol and drug abuse on our campus and in our community. We are one of many parent-led Community Coalitions who are active throughout Fairfax County schools. We are committed to offering educational seminars and other helpful information to our parents and students on the critical issue of alcohol and drug abuse.

The consequences for not engaging proactively on this topic are serious. So please, click here to read more on this important topic, and understand the purpose of the Woodson High School Safe and Drug Free Parent Pledge.

These great magnets are still available in the front office -- just $8 each or 3 for $20! Both students and parents appreciate the added awareness of other drivers as they complete their 45 (or more) hours behind the wheel with a qualified driver now required before a license can be obtained.

Place the yellow-and-black STUDENT DRIVER magnets on all cars being driven, driver's door, parent's door, back of vehicle.... Everyone will feel safer.
