We Need Your Assistance, Woodland!!
Woodland Middle School is wanting to dedicate a wall in our entry way to the members of our Armed Forces and First responders. We would like to invite 6-8 community members who have an interest in honoring our local and national service members, and who may enjoy wood and/or metal working to join a committee with a purpose of helping to find resources and create ideas to bring this gratitude wall to life.
Please contact Trayce Hemenway at themenway@cdaschools.org or 667-5996 by June 26th, if you are interested in supporting this worthy cause.
