| |  | |  |  | | |  | Dear Fellow Alumni, Parents, Families and Friends,
I come from a Pittsburgh family but growing up, I had only really spent summers in Pittsburgh until we moved just in time for me to attend and graduate from Woody High. As a newbie, I found myself embraced by a wonderful community where I was able to play sports and participate in a variety of creative and interesting academic courses from the arts to the sciences with supportive teachers, coaches, teammates, and lifelong friends.
When I joined the Woodland Hills Foundation Alumni Network (WHFAN) page on Facebook, I was excited to see some familiar faces, but also to see everything new going on in the district. This winter, the Woodland Hills Foundation announced the Alumni Scholarship Fund, and I knew I wanted to be a part of it. In fact, I made a monthly recurring donation so that it would have the biggest possible impact! I know that 100% of my donation will go directly towards funding scholarships for students in Woodland Hills and I am so happy to be able to give back to the school that embraced and supported me during my high school years. |

| I hope you remember that same open-armed support system too. That’s why I am asking you—many of whom walked these same halls or have children that do—to join me in helping the Foundation reach its goal. The money raised will directly support students and teachers right here in Woodland Hills. It’s so important for us as a community—as the Village of Woodland Hills—to not only support scholarships for our students, but also grants for our teachers for special projects that would otherwise not be funded; from free special events that help shape the culture of the school like Six Feet Trick or Treat to special projects like Backpacks of Hope which provides weekend backpacks filled with food to students dealing with food insecurity; and so much more.The Wolverine Way Challenge is counting on all of us to compete to raise support towards their $50,000 goal. I hope you’ll join me in demonstrating to every student, every teacher, every coach and staff member, that your time in Woodland Hills made a difference in your life. And that today, their success matters to you. After all, that’s the Wolverine Way! Sincerely, Leslie Fischbeck, Class of ‘98 |

|  | | | OPPORTUNITY CAMP IS UNDERWAY FOR THE SECOND YEAR! The second year of the Woodland Hills Opportunity Camp is fully underway. This year's camp is for kindergarten through fifth graders and is being hosted at Turtle Creek Elementary STEAM Academy. Opportunity Camp is designed to enhance students' reading and mathematics skills through a fun and innovative curriculum that is combined with engaging activities provided by the district's community partners. Each day features a 90-minute literature block and a 90-minute mathematics block. Students also rotate through the activities provided by our partners. Teachers and staff have gone all out to ensure that some summer vibes are felt in each classroom. Some have brought in tents for an outdoorsy feel, while others have set up fake campfires that students gather around before and after each lesson. Students also go on field trips every Friday. Opportunity Camp is provided at no cost to families, as it is dedicated to helping students combat learning loss and to advance their knowledge in reading and math. |
