REFLECTIONS FROM THE ADVANCEMENT COMMITTEE CHAIRS Shaping Our Children in Invaluable Ways

We have been talking all summer about how we can’t believe our children are in eighth grade, their final year at Woodland. It seems like time has flown by since they entered Kindergarten. This, of course, has caused us to reflect on our time at Woodland.

At the auction this past year, we learned that Woodland was an adjective, “That’s so Woodland.” We have thought a lot about what that means to us as parents and members of the community. Most importantly, Woodland is focused on our children. Faculty at Woodland are deeply invested in the growth and success of each student. They not only get to know our children as students inside the classroom but also as individuals. Our children have been challenged, have learned and grown as students which we know will allow them to develop in their ongoing educational endeavors. Being able to drop our kids off at a place where they are surrounded by thoughtful adults who care about their learning and about them in such a fundamental way is a gift that is invaluable and all Woodland.

There are so many individual experiences that our children have gone through that have made lasting impressions on us. Whether it was Mother’s Day brunch in Kindergarten, or the Greek play in second grade, the field trips that we chaperoned, the stories from Outdoor Ed, the musicals, Santa Lucia, and listening to the fabulous student speeches at graduation. We realize that all of these events are Woodland, have brought out our shared values as a school community, and shaped our children to have an appreciation for family, where they come from, and the broader world around us.

As our families look forward to this next important milestone our hearts are filled with gratitude, joy and a deep sense of appreciation for the values that make our school and community so Woodland.

WHAT DO THE TRUSTEES DO?

Trustees oversee Woodland’s financial operations, and through strategic planning, they set the course for our future development. Trustees are not involved in the day-to-day running of school operations, nor are they involved in the admissions process. Each trustee gives a tremendous amount of their time on behalf of the school and each considers it an honor to do so. The head of school serves as an ex-officio member of the board. Each trustee serves on at least two committees (which meet anywhere from two to five times per year). In addition, there are seven full board meetings. A Message from the Board Chair

Dear Woodland Community,

Ask anyone at Woodland what makes our school so special, and the answer will most likely be, “community”. Community isn’t built by accident. Rather, it is cultivated and nurtured through shared vision, relationship-building and purposeful commitment.

We are grateful to you, our community, for your partnership, support and generosity and for your gifts of time, talent and resources.

Stepping foot on campus, one is met with a sense of tranquility and a strength of spirit that seems to resonate throughout the community.

A Culture of Giving Back

SPOTLIGHT ON SERVICE CLUB Three years ago, alumna Alisha Gupta ’18 proposed the middle school create a service club. She stated in her proposal, the service club would, “be a way to represent Woodland in the community, give back to the community, and create a positive, fun way for students to be with their friends.” In addition, the proposal said, “It is important that we help others and create that expectation within our community.” Fast forward to today, the Woodland Service Club has helped foster the expectation and culture to give back to both the school and greater communities.

The Service Club is student- led with adult support given, as needed. At the beginning of the year, students elect leaders to manage and guide the club. With leadership guidance, students identify projects that appeal to and plan campaigns throughout the year. The club also responds to emergencies, raising funds and materials to those in need. 23
