Dear Friends ,

WOODLAND HILLS SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS SPONSORED BY

In Woodland Hills , we know that Where There ’ s a Will … There ’ s a Wolverine ! That is why I am so pleased to announce the 2022 Wolverine Way Challenge : Battle of the Decades !

What is the Challenge ? We are pitting each alumni decade ( the 80s , 90s , 00s , and 10s ) as well as the Village of Woodland Hills — against each other to see who can raise the most in support of the Woodland Hills Foundation !
WHY GIVE ? Because of support from Wolverines like you , in 2022 the Woodland Hills Foundation will :
4 Award $ 16,700 in scholarships to Woodland Hills Seniors : We also introduced our new Education Series , offering expert assistance and advice to seniors applying to college as well as scholarships , student loans and more !
4 Offer safe , fun and free ( or lowcost ) family-fun and community outreach events to families in Woodland Hills ! From Trunk or Treat to the Harlem Wizards to in-classroom support for teachers , H . U . G . S . support lets our children know that their community is invested in their potential
4 Provide tools and grants for teachers and classrooms in Woodland Hills : Our Dream Book and Mini Grant programs offer support for teachers ’ innovative ideas when there isn ’ t money available in the District ’ s budget . Without this funding , some of our students and families ’ favorite programs might not exist .
4 Provide much-needed support for special projects in the District : We pride ourselves on “ answering the call ” when needed ! When principals , staff and teachers have an immediate fundraising or volunteer need , or need for social media support , the Foundation is here to help , even when the need doesn ’ t fit into our typical programming . We
assist the District in countless ways throughout the year .
Everything we do is made possible only through the generosity of our friends and donors . And The Alums we connect with tend to look back on their time in the district with fondness and attribute much of the understanding of the world and their successes , both personally and professionally , to their experience in the district . And as a foundation that supports the district , we know that a strong alumni base is essential to ensure the success of our future students .
We are confident that you , our alumni and our community — those who know first-hand all of the great things happening in Woodland Hills and who share common roots with our
students — understand how vital your support is to the success of our students . Your generosity not only helps to ensure that every student in the Woodland Hills School District is awarded with the same opportunities for success as their peers in other schools — it also demonstrates to every student , every teacher , every coach and staff member , parent , and family , that your time in Woodland Hills made a difference in your life . And that today , their success matters to you . Will you accept the challenge ? Sincerely ,
Jessica Reed President , Woodland Hills Foundation Learn more at : woodlandhillsfoundation . com / wolverineway
