Celebration of Learning

The Wakefield Educational Foundation (WEF) held it's annual Celebration of Learning Event tonight. At the Woodville School, our 8 student award recipients were chosen by their very own classmates. They were chosen based on our schools core values --- respect, caring, cooperation, honesty, and responsibility. These students have found ways to connect with their peers and live the values of our school. When speaking with some of their classmates, it became quite clear to me why these students were chosen for recognition. They are described as very respectful of the school rules, the teachers, and other students. These students always include everyone (for example when playing a game) and they do not exclude anyone. They are friendly to everyone and if a fellow student is sad, these students check-in with that student to cheer them up. This supports the Woodville’s Compassion Value. These students are also responsible. They always are prepared for school – ready to learn. They complete their homework in a timely fashion. These students also display positive behavior in and out of the classroom. It is my pleasure to recognize and honor the following students ----

I was also so pleased to honor Mrs. Michelle Ferguson (4th grade teacher), Ms. Kathy Palumbo (Special Education Teacher), and Mrs. Anne Doherty (School Secretary) for their dedication and service to the students at the Woodville School. They are three remarkable ladies who impact the lives of students daily. All three of them go above and beyond the call of duty each day to impact students! The teachers and students salute them!

Kim Smith has been an excellent volunteer for the Woodville School. Her last child, Ryan, is moving on to the Galvin Middle School and we will miss her energy and enthusiasm at the Woodville. She has been with the school since it opened 7 year ago. She served on the school council for the first 2 years and then the executive committee for 4 years. She has chaired many committees including: fund raising, room parent, family night, field day, the Halloween party, and the teacher’s luncheon, etc. She was co-chair of the popular Woodville Spring marketplace for 3 years which raised a lot of money for the Woodville School to further it’s mission. She has served as the PTO co-president for the past 2 years. Our staff loves Kim's smiling, supportive face at school and are impressed that she knows the students names and cares for them, We will certainly miss her at Woodville next year.
