District highlights food-service award, poet laureate visit and upcoming STEAM events
Summary
Superintendent/staff highlighted the district’s Child Hunger Hero recognition for food service, a poet laureate visit, VEX STEAM Night and an Edgewood STEAM Academy open house scheduled Oct. 30.
District staff used the Oct. 15 Woodland Hills School District board meeting to highlight recent awards and upcoming events.
Staff announced the district’s food service team received a 2025 Child Hunger Hero Award; the speaker said 47 districts applied to the program and noted the district placed among the gold winners. The board publicly thanked the food service staff and the teams who support school nutrition.
Staff also reported that Ashley Jones, Alabama’s poet laureate, visited creative writing classes and conducted a workshop; the speaker noted she is the youngest and first person of color to hold that post in Alabama.
Upcoming events announced included the third annual K–8 VEX STEAM Night on Oct. 25 at the Impact Center (theme: Night of Mix and Match) and an Edgewood STEAM Academy open house scheduled Oct. 30 from 6–8 p.m.
Why it matters: These announcements recognize food-service achievements, expose students to visiting writers and promote family engagement through district STEAM events.
Follow-up: Staff will continue outreach and programming; details and times were given for several events and staff indicated further information would be distributed.
