Happy March WBE Families!

It has been a fun filled February!  Woodbrook parents had a night out at Mane Bash, the Woodbrook PTO held their annual President's skating party and we celebrated our School Counselor and SRO this month!  We are very busy planning many fun events for the spring!  Please take a moment to mark your calendars for all the events we have planned. We look forward to seeing your families soon! 


Best Wishes,

Slapfish Dine to Donate - 3/7


Tuesday, March 7, 5-8pm.

15009 Gray Road, Noblesville, IN 46062 

(while the address is in Noblesville, I promise it's less than 10 minutes away from most of us, straight up Gray Road!)

Dine in and Carry out!

This Slapfish is owned by a Woodbrook family and they will give back 50% to the school!  WOW - let's make this a big one, WBE!  

Mane Bash Thank You's!!!

Yet again, the Mane Bash was an enormous success this year.  Thank you to the committee for organizing and running such an amazing event for our school and to all the volunteers and attendees that made this night such a special event.  A special thanks to Melissa Elliot and Jen Lavender Thompson (pictured above) for leading this successful fundraiser for so many years!  And now they both are "retiring" and have passed the torch onto another wonderful group of parents.  A lot of hard work goes into planning this event and we're thankful to have such dedicated parents working for our school. We can't wait for next year!  Save the date for February 10, 2024!!!

Mane Bash Basket Competition

The grade winner for the Mane Bash Basket Competition this year was . . . THIRD GRADE!!!!  They will get treated to a movie and popcorn party and their teachers get a special lunch.  Nice work, third grade parents and students!  Thank you to everyone who contributed to these fun baskets for all grades this year.  

Mane Bash Photos Needed Please!

We saw everyone with their cameras out at Mane Bash taking pics of the amazing decorations and costumes.  Please send us your best photos from the night.  We're using them for marketing for next year's bash!  

Please send them to tarachambers22@gmail.com with "Mane Bash Photos 2023" in the subject line.  Thank you very much!!!!

Welcome Back Officer Commodore!

We are so happy to welcome back from maternity leave our amazing SRO, Officer Commodore!  We recognized her and thanked her for all she does to keep our school safe.  And, on top of that, she is such a warm light at the school making connections with our students daily.  We are so lucky to have her at Woodbrook!  


A special thanks also to all the amazing officers who filled in for Officer Commodore while she was out.....Officer Harris, Officer Garcia, Officer Navarrete.  Thank you!

School Counselor Week

We celebrated Mrs. Wischmeyer in February and thanked her for all she does for our children and our school.  We are grateful to have such an amazing team here at Woodbrook Elementary.  Thank you, Mrs. Wischmeyer!

ATTENTION 5th GRADE PARENTS!

Please be on the lookout for emails with details of upcoming 5th Grade specific events!!!

Spring is coming, but the winter hats and gloves are still hanging out at Woodbrook lost and found.  The lost and found is full of hats, gloves, coats, jackets, etc. with no names on them.  Please remind your children to check the lost and found on their way to and from the cafeteria or the grade level one in their pod. Also, please add names to everything that comes to school so it can easily be returned to your student.  Thank you so much!!!
