The Needoh & “squishy” fad is becoming a distraction at school. They are being misused, thrown, traded, stolen, broken, vandalized, etc. Please keep ALL toys, including these, at home. Toys may be confiscated if they come to school. Thanks for making sure our students can focus on their learning by keeping those distractions at home.

Reminder: Friday, May 22 is a half day for all students and Monday, May 25 is no school in remembrance of Memorial Day.

The Warrior Charity Club, in partnership with the Woodhaven Kiwanis, is proud to announce our 2nd annual Summer Cereal Drive. As the school year winds down, many local families lose access to school-provided breakfast and lunch programs. Our goal is to bridge this "summer gap" by providing local food pantries with shelf-stable, kid-friendly nutrition.
The Details
Collection Dates: May 18th – 29th
Location: Students should bring donations to their Homeroom.
The Goal: To combat childhood food insecurity in our immediate community.
Thank you for helping us support the Woodhaven Kiwanis and ensuring every child in our community has a bright, well-fed summer.

And last but certainly not least, Jacob Hutchens earned the top fundraising prize, bringing in an incredible $565 in donations!
Thank you to Jacob and to all of our students and families who contributed—your generosity makes a big difference for our school.

Congratulations to our 2026 WUE Kiwanis Award Winner Vivienne Spurr!
This is what Mrs. Rochon had to see about Vivienne in her nomination letter:
Vivienne is kind, hardworking, and always pleasant. She is an incredible role model for her peers. She comes in and immediately starts working in class, and she participates throughout. Vivienne is part of the Warrior Charity Club, and she was also in Battle of the Books. Her team took first place because of her dedication to her commitments. She is in tons of dance classes, and she's at competitions all weekend quite often, but she never misses school unless it's absolutely necessary, and she never falls behind in her work. Vivienne shows appreciation for the adults at school daily. Without fail, every single day, Vivienne thanks her teachers for their class as she leaves to head to her next one. She is hands down the prime example of who should receive this award.

🚨✨ Junior Jedi Race: Operation Grogu was a GALACTIC success at Woodhaven Upper Elementary! ✨🚨
Our Junior Jedi Cadets took on an epic mission to rescue Grogu, testing their strength, focus, and courage through a series of action-packed stations. From start to finish, these young heroes showed determination, resilience, and plenty of Force power! 💫
Here’s a look at the challenges they conquered:
🟣 The Force Float – Keeping objects suspended while navigating to safety
🟣 The Kyber Fracture – One-leg hopping across unstable terrain
🟣 The Sands of Tatooine – Hydration stop to refuel with “Jedi Juice”
🟣 The Thermal Detonator Toss – Precision throw to disable enemy defenses
🟣 The Desperate Evasion (Gauntlet) – Sprinting through a dodgeball “attack”
🟣 The Ewok Scramble – Low crawling to avoid detection
🟣 The Asteroid Field Navigation – Spinning through space and staying on course
🟣 The Carbonite Freeze – Freezing in place at the sound of the whistle
🟣 The Mustafar Heat Shield – Final hydration before the last push
🟣 The Reverse Warp – Running backward to escape the tractor beam
🟣 The Inflatable Breach & Extraction – Storming the course to rescue Grogu and cross the finish line
🌟 Finalists:
Tommy Jenkins
Malcolm McGinnis
Anderson Stanley
Giovanni Sweet
Carmela Roberts
Ontario Torrence (WUE Master Jedi Champion!) 🏆
Cass Burton
Lily Nowicki
Blake Hilla
Dewayne Taylor
👏 A huge thank you to our staff, families, and volunteers who helped bring this unforgettable experience to life. The Force was strong at WUE! 💜
