Peter Woodbury School News

break in December is always one filled with excitement and energy.  Peter Woodbury School started with an all school meeting this morning; allowing all the students and staff to come together to share in the festive feel.

Our fourth graders learned about different traditions and holidays that people celebrate around the world and how each culture is unique.
