Here are our updates for this week:

On Friday November 21, 2014, Woodland Park was the “School of the Day”, featured on the Waterloo Region DSB website!

“School of the Day” is an effort to highlight schools in the Waterloo Region, in order to share, engage and celebrate student and school successes with the community.  Every day is a new day of great news across Waterloo Region!

Woodland Park was pleased to have Ms. Riegle, one of our own, share her story at the Bears Quest assembly last week.  Please click on the following link to learn more about Woodland Park’s global impact.  We are so proud!
