End of year reminders

I just want to start out by giving everyone a huge thank you for making this such a great year at WFP! Families, students, staff, and everyone else that had a hand in everything we’ve done this year, thank you so much for your continued support. We wouldn’t be WFP without you all <3

School pictures: Another big thank you to Chelsea Macor for coming in and giving us such a great picture day experience. Picture galleries are up and ready to go, prints and digital download options are available for purchase.

Yearbooks: Last day for yearbook orders is May 5^th (check Susan’s weekly update for more info).

Pre-K graduates: Congrats and good luck to our graduating families! We wish you all the best and will miss seeing you in class. 

Are you in the mood for some fresh produce, boutique baked goods, artisanal sauces, cider, and other delightful treats? Look no further than the Woodinville Farmers Market! Since 1993, the Woodinville Farmers Market has been serving up more than just groceries. It’s grown into a vibrant community hub, complete with entertainment, educational demos, and plenty of opportunities to connect with fellow foodies. It’s now a vibrant festival that brings the Woodinville community and visitors from near and far together for entertainment, music, and educational demonstrations.
