Tech 2012

It has been a wonderful day at Tech 2012! 

Our Class to be Recognized at the Next School Board Meeting

The Woodstock School District #200 school board would like to congratulate our class on being selected as presenters at the Tech 2012 conference.  All of the students have worked so hard to prepare for the Tech 2012 conference.  Our class will be recognized and representatives from our room will be asked to accept the Board's congratulations on Tuesday, May 8th at 7:00pm at the Clay Professional Development Center at 112 Grove St. in Woodstock.  I hope all of you can make it for this very special recognition.

Today is the day the three chosen people go to TECH 2012! The people are A24, D7, and R16. These people are going to Tech 2012 in Springfield to tell the legislators of Illinois about our classroom's technology and how it changed our classroom.  Our class' technology are the Elmo, Mimio, projector, computers, the minis, and many websites that we have used to try to reduce the amount of paper we use. This is the day that can go down in Westwood history so hope for the best!

Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!  Thank you for all of your hard work and support during our aluminum can drive.  Unfortunately, our school was 10 lbs short of 1st place, however.....Behr recycling center was so overwhelmed by Westwood's hard work, enthusiasm, and spirit, that they granted us the $1,000 prize as well!!!  This money will go toward improving technology at Westwood.  Thank you so much for all of your support!!!

Our Class in the Northwest Herald Today!

We are working very hard to get ready for tech 2012. We have been divided into comittees and each comittee has their own important job like making the presentation or making blog posts. The presenters are anxious and nervous because it's a very big thing. We have to try and do a good job on this because this represents our school. 


We are also in the newspaper!!!! Click here to see the article that was in the paper today!
