My name is Bradlee Dodds, and I am the PTO President at Woodland Heights. I just wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to the PTO Meetings. They are EVERY 2nd Thursday of the month from 11:00-12:00 in the Library. Snacks & drinks are provided but feel free to bring your sack lunch if you need to. The PTO is not a special club – ALL parents & guardians of students at Woodland Heights are members.

Everyone is welcome!

If you have any questions, please call or email me at any time. dodds811@msn.com or 643-3505.

I look forward to working with you this year!

Bradlee Dodds

Woodland ROCKS!

Rock star friday!

Today (Oct. 26th), students and staff dressed up like rock stars to celebrate the success of our PTO "Rock Woodland Heights" Fundraiser. The six students who sold the most rocks were treated like rock stars. They were taken to McDonald's in a limousine! Here are some candid shots of some of our rock stars.

Woodland Heights Rocks!
