Thursday Thoughts with Dr. Bedell - May 28, 2026

It's that time of year again: clear out your wardrobes and get rid of any items that no longer fit. Let's recycle them so that someone else can use them. We are accepting clean clothing for infants, toddlers, children, women and men. You can drop items off between Monday 1 June and Friday 5 June during school hours (7:30–15:30). The clothing, accessories and shoes giveaway will take place on Monday 8 June and Wednesday 10 June from 8:30am in the community school room. On Tuesday 9 June from noon until 6 pm. Volunteers are needed any day and at any time – please consider helping out! For information, to offer help or to volunteer, please contact Mrs Colleton-Pearsell at mcolletonpearsell@aacps.org or on 410-570-2396.

We are excited to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week from May 4–May 8! This is a special time for us to recognize and thank our amazing teachers for all they do each and every day.

Woodside Students help us celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week with a Fun Filled SPIRIT WEEK

Monday (5/4): Twin Day – Find a friend and dress alike
Tuesday (5/5): Power Up in PJ’s Day – Wear your pajamas
Wednesday (5/6): Woodside Wednesday – Wear green and yellow
Thursday (5/7): Mix Match Day – Wear fun, mixed patterns and colors
Friday (5/8): Favorite Hero Day – Dress as your favorite hero (no masks, please)

Tuesday is Power Up in PJ's, and we would love donations of donuts or danishes!
Thursday is Sweets Day, and we would love donations of sweet treats for our staff to enjoy!

We are also looking for volunteers to help decorate the teachers’ lounge on Friday evening alongside our PTA President, Soco & Mrs. Sosa. Your help would be greatly appreciated in creating a warm and festive space for our teachers. A simple theme (your “Woodside Heroes” is perfect!) with banners, balloons, and bright tablecloths
Add a welcome sign like “Relax, Recharge, You’re Our Heroes!” Handwritten thank-you notes or posters from students or families posted around the room. A “shout-out board” where staff can leave kind notes for each other
