Dear Woodward Families,

It’s a great pleasure for me to return to Woodward this year! I had a wonderful time getting to know the school community and students last year and I am really looking forward to another
year here!

We have an exceptional staff here. Each of them has a passion for working with middle school students and truly understand their academic and social needs as well as their fun sense of
humor. This year we are excited to bring back some of the traditions that were limited the past few years. Though we will still be diligent about keeping students safe, we hope they will
experience a year that is more normal for 7th and 8th graders.

My husband and I have lived here on Bainbridge for 22 years and enjoy all that this area offers. Three of my children attended BISD schools and now I’m lucky enough to have grandchildren at Sakai and Ordway! I have been a lifelong educator for over 30 years and couldn’t see myself being involved in any other career. It’s an amazing opportunity that I’m proud to be a part of every day.

Please stop in to say hello - we want to see and hear from you! And most importantly, thank you for sharing your students with us. It’s truly my honor to work with them.

Here’s to a great year at Woodward Middle School!
