Stallion Strong Update

  • School goal: $80,000!  WE CAN DO IT! 1st Grade is currently in the lead! 
  • We are asking for a contribution of $125 per student
  • For highest participation, we will be rewarding classes (TCBY), grades (free dress & treat), and parents of winning class (coffee with Ms. Thompson)!

Before those pictures get buried in your camera roll, login to Tree Ring and share them with yearbook! We have designated folders so you can upload those 1st day of school pictures, or just cute candids with friends in your grade’s folder. Click here to upload. 

The Woodrow Wilson football team would like to invite ANY and ALL future Woodrow students to attend this Friday night's game against North Forney HS. 

All students that would like to participate in supporting our football program are welcomed to arrive by 7:00 PM to stand on the field with our team and run out of the tunnel with the team! Can't wait to see lots of future Wildcats Friday night!

Please remember that Lake Circle is a single line when dropping off and picking up; the red and blue lanes split at the corner of Hillbrook, not before.
