Wood Middle School PTA

Wood Middle School’s 2nd Annual Reading Challenge will take place March 25th – April 7th! Your student is encouraged to read, read, read!

Students will get their reading log this week (reading goals will be set by English teacher or parents), and students will log their daily reading time. Make sure to keep reading over Spring break!

Turn in the reading log by April 10. Students who meet or exceed their goals will be entered into a drawing for a Books Inc gift card! Parents/ guardians whose students meet or exceed their goals will be entered into their own drawing for a gift card!

Join us at the PTA Association meeting, this Thursday, March 14, 7:00-8:30 pm in Wood’s Media Center! We’ll have updates on next year’s PTA executive board and upcoming events, including Multicultural Night!

AND, you can buy raffle tickets for our Spring Raffle – we have wonderful prizes including Disney Parkhopper tickets!
