1. Holiday Week - THIS WEEK
Monday through Friday, students may wear holiday headgear and clothing. This can include headgear or clothing with HOLIDAY wording on it.
On Friday, we will begin our Holiday party at 12:00 p.m. Students need to bring one wrapped present of $10 (or less) to the party for our gift exchange. Parents, please sign up at the front office to bring food items for the party and have them here before 12:00. Following our Holiday party, we will have our 1st Quarter’s Honors Assembly at 1:15 p.m. Parents are welcome to attend!




2. School Play information - THIS WEEK

The play will be open to the public so please get your tickets ASAP. Friends and additional family members are more than welcome to come. It is imperative that we sell all the tickets. So, please invite them! Remember that we have 140 seats to sell in order to cover our expenses for the theater rental, costumes and props. Student tickets are $6.00, adult tickets are $8.00



3. Scrip Program - LAST ORDER OF THE YEAR!!!!
Monday’s order will be the last order we place before the holidays. If you place an order this Monday, you will receive your gift cards by Friday, December 18th. Any orders we receive after Monday, will not be processed until we get back from our Winter Break.

If you have any questions regarding the program or if there are any vendors you would like to purchase a card from but do not see it on the list, just let us know. Please find the attached the most current form. We’ll be happy to check on any other unlisted vendors. Make sure your order is in by Monday at the end of the school day in order to receive your gift cards by Friday.
*****You are also welcome to involve other family members and have them order their gift cards through us. We have a quick turn around and it does not cost you any more money to order the cards from us than if you bought them at a store. If every family placed a $600 order per month or $150 per week, at an average of 5% return, that would make up for one additional student attending Woodlands. So, please remember that this is a fundraiser for us and that every order counts. Thank you.




4. Enrollment Incentive - Reminder
Woodlands Academy is offering an incentive to realtors in the community as a way of getting our name in front of new residents. For every family who has a student enroll in Woodlands Academy that is referred to us by a realtor, the realtor will receive $250. WE have notified the Keller Williams office that is in the same complex as the library- including over 30 realtors and The Dean Gary Team. If you know any realtors who would be interested in participating, please have them contact Dolores for specific information. They will need to be certain the client puts their name on the initial enrollment forms. In addition to this, we are extending the same offer to Woodlands Academy families. For every family you bring in who enrolls in school this year, you will receive a $250 credit towards your fees.



5. 2nd Annual Donation and Exchange Holiday Event
Our 2nd Annual Donation and Exchange Holiday Event went well. Thanks to all of you who participated and to Mrs. Beth Moreau for coordinating this event again! The remaining items will be donated to charity this week.



6. Holiday Concert
We would like to thank all of our wonderful students at Woodlands and Mrs. Dottie Bass for the great performance they delighted us with Friday evening. Those months of practicing finally paid off! We would also like to thank the Church of Pentecost for letting use their facility for this event. It was a great time had by all.



7. Open Houses
Despite the cold weather, both of our Open Houses went very well. Most of the interest, however, is for next year’s enrollment. If you know of any families that would be interested in joining this year, please encourage them to come to our next Open Houses or simply to contact us at their convenience. We would be happy to meet with prospective families anytime. Our next Open Houses will be Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. and Saturday, January 16, 2010 at 10:00 a.m.
