Thank you to the SW Washington Police Activities League (PALs) for visiting Woodburn on January 21st for a 2nd grade reading assembly.  Officers from the Camas PD, Washougal PD, and Animal Control, celebrated literacy and showed off their vehicles this week. We look forward to continuing this partnership in the future!

During a recent field trip to the Steigerwald Refuge in Washougal, Woodburn 5th graders explored the landscape and helped with restoration. Students planted a mix of black cottonwood, red osier dogwood, and a mix of different willows, surrounding each log habitat structure with a layer of new vegetation.

Dear Woodburn Families,

Hearing Screening Volunteers Needed

December 6 | Volunteers 7:45 AM-2:00 PM 

Woodburn is looking for adult volunteers to help with hearing/vision screenings. You must have valid volunteer clearance on file with the district (same as for field trips). We need 4 volunteers between 8:00 AM-2:00 PM (small breaks in-between, we may even finish earlier). Screenings will take place in the computer lab at Woodburn and instructions will be given. Volunteers should arrive at 7:45 AM for a brief training session. We’ll need help conducting the screening, watching over students while they are in line and retrieving students from classrooms. Please contact Carrie Davis in the Woodburn Office if you can volunteer:

Thank you,

Brian Graham, Principal
