This organization is an educational incentive program where participants earn points for healthy behaviors. These points can be redeemed at the Stork’s Nest for needed baby items.

Woodside Flag Presentation

On April 6, Saydel parent Mr. Amos Dyer gave a presentation to all fifth graders about flag etiquette. Mr. Dyer is a First Sergeant with the Army National Guard in Michigan. He spoke with students about his work in the army and answered questions from students about about his experiences and responsibilities. Each student was awarded a certificate of patriotism and a mini flag to take home, and each classroom teacher was given an American flag and a copy of The American Patriot’s Alamanac. Mr. Dyer is pictured here with teachers Marsha George and Katie Mary.
