Parent Connection
Parents connecting with other parents through a series of workshops on Main campus and Woodward North with Stacey Dewitt CEO of Connect with Kids. Ms. Dewitt brings years of experience in helping parents gather information for raising kids in today's culture. Plus, the Parents Club will oversee social lunches for parents beginning with seventh grade, several times a year. Just another way to get to know other parents as well as your children's classmates!

Concessions
Parents have the opportunity to help out in the concession stand before and during the Academy’s home football and other sport games. It is a fun job and a great way to meet other parents. (Note: other teams handle their concessions through team parents during their season.)
To volunteer, please contact Karen and Mike Corbin at thecorbinfam@aol.com or Valerie and Dennis Smith at vamgs@aol.com.
Super Goober Day
This action-packed festival is held in the fall. This year Super Goober Day will be October 24, 2008, at the Academy’s Main Campus. Families of pre-kindergarteners to 6th graders will gather for an afternoon full of fun. Many volunteers are needed to make this day a success. More...

The 2007-08 Thank You and Disbursements:
Dear Woodward Academy Parents:
We wanted to thank you for all of your support during the 2007-2008 school year. Through your efforts and hard work many wonderful events occurred, friendships were made, and the students’ lives were enriched.
The Parents Club raised funds for the Woodward Academy thanks to the tireless efforts of our committee volunteers for the Consignment Shop, Super Goober Day, Spirit Committee and the Woodward Raffle. The Parents Club is please to announce that $110,000 was raised to give back to the Academy.
The Executive Committee of the Parents Club approved the following disbursements:
| Annual Giving Match | $25,000 |
| Athletic Department | $5,000 |
| Student Life/Prom for the Upper School | $10,000 |
| The Capital Campaign ($20,000 in memory of Dr. Hank Payne) |
$70,000 |
| Total 2008 Gifts to Woodward Academy | $110,000 |
This year the Parents Club Executive Committee focused its giving on the Capital Campaign. The Executive Committee believes that by providing financial support for the Capital Campaign our mission to enhance the Woodward Academy students would be achieved. We are proud to provide a Physics Lab for the new Science and Math building which is set to open in the fall.
A special thank you to all of the members of the executive committee, the school chairs, the committee chairs, the room parents, the consignment shop volunteers, the raffle chair and volunteers, the concession volunteers and to everyone else that work so hard on behalf of our students.
We would also like take the time to thank the Administration and the faculty of the Academy for all of its support during the school year. Being involved with the Parents Club is a wonderful opportunity for the parents to get to know the faculty, other parents and the Administration at Woodward Academy. We encourage everyone to participate to get to know this wonderful group of individuals. It has been a privilege for us to serve as Presidents of the Parents Club and we look forward to seeing everyone next year.
Sincerely yours,
Becky and Chip Burns
