Congratulations to Woodland Elementary for raising $2,350 for the American Heart Association during their recent “Jump Rope for Heart” fundraiser. Over the past four years, the students and staff at the school have raised over $9,400 for the American Heart Association.

The top student fundraisers this year included Fatima Arriaga, Lorenzo Bolden, Allysson Contreras, Rafael Garcia, Reuben Garcia, Junior Gomez-Ramos, Emely Leon, and Dereon Matthews. To celebrate their accomplishments, students had a chance to “pie” some of the favorite teachers, including (front row, from left to right) Dereon Matthews, Junior Gomez-Ramos and Rafael Garcia with teachers Jordan Miller, Susan Ochs, and Jenae Prince.
