Global School Play Day is coming on Wednesday, February 5th, 2020! Global School Play Day is a day dedicated to unstructured play for kids. In his TEDx lecture, Peter Gray clearly argues the case that today's kids do not grow up playing and this has negatively impacted them in many ways. It's time we return the gift of play to this generation. Global School Play Day Website

Dear Parents, Think back to when you first moved to Woodbury. Your feelings were probably some mixture of being excited, scared and overwhelmed. What grocery store to go to, what doctor to choose, how do I register my kids for school? Some of you have even done all of this while also learning English! It was probably the kindness of strangers--soon-to-be friends--striking up conversations with you that made life at Woodbury feel like home. This November, Woodbury’s Parent Outreach is offering an amazing program called Each One Teach One whose goal is to connect parents with conversation partners. In other words, the program wishes to link up fellow Woodbury parents with one another--getting a mixture of both fluent English speakers and new to English speakers. Grabbing some coffee, having a lunch date, or taking the kids to the park--these are just a few ways conversations in English connect us. We are looking for parents who are fluent in English and want to make connections with fellow Woodbury parents through friendly conversations. We are also looking  for parents who are learning English and want to make connections with fellow Woodbury parents through friendly conversations. We are also looking  for parents who are new to English and want to make connections with fellow Woodbury parents through friendly conversations. If you are interested in participating in Each One Teach One as a conversation partner, please sign up by Friday, November 15th using the following link: http://bit.ly/woeachone2019   **Childcare will be offered for children ages 5 and above.
