2023-2024 Year In Review!  What has PAWS done?
 
We would like to thank our entire Woodburn community for your generous support and incredible volunteer efforts this year. 
 
We had huge support this year in all of our fundraisers. Payback books did great, Read-A-Thon exceeded its $5000 goal, dine arounds were well attended and the Carnival & Silent Auction had record breaking attendance and revenue. 
 
And because of your generosity and support, PAWS was able to directly impact Woodburn students and staff considerably this year.  
 
We would like to celebrate the following contributions to Woodburn:
 
  • $9,100 awarded in teacher and staff grants
  • $1,200 - Legacy Grant funded for 4th grade Capitol trip
  • $7,075 - Legacy Grant funded for Literacy kits
  • $6,015 - IXL Math, Scholastic News, math testing software
  • $1,220 - Student Morale & PAWS Cares Funds (Reptile Man, Health Room clothes/supplies, etc).
  • $6,480 - Student/Community Events (Harvest Festival, Carnival, DJ Dance Party)
  • $2,890 - PAWS Art program
  • $850  - Taproot Anti-Bullying Assembly
  • $1,470 - Staff Appreciation 
TOTAL: $36,300
*This is just a snapshot, not an actual total
 

As we look ahead to next school year we are planning to provide $9,100 in teacher grants plus we are preparing to provide an additional $11,000 in Legacy Grant funding to offset budget cuts in Fall 2024.
