We are pleased to announce that Woodland Elementary has been selected as a "GRAMMY Signature Elementary School" by the GRAMMY Foundation, part of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences.  The GRAMMY Signature Program recognizes schools that promote and preserve music education as a key part of their curriculum.  The selection process included information about the school's music curriculum, performing repertoire, concert programs, music budget, and other documentation regarding our school. The GRAMMY Foundation selected 100 schools for this honor out of nearly 3,000 schools that applied.  We are very proud to receive this recognition for our music program.

K-9 Kids Project

Canine Assistants Organization partners with Woodland Elementary Charter School in a program which service dogs help at -risk first grade students develop their reading skills. The service dogs come to Woodland every Friday for two hours to listen to the students read.

Children who are uncomfortable reading in front of peers or teachers, fearing that they might make a mistake, are quite at ease reading in front of a dog. Scientific and anecdotal evidence has demonstrated that dogs can be instrumental in enhancing not only emotional well-being but academic achievement as well. Under the K-9 Kids Reading Program, Canine Assistants service dogs are both supportive and nurturing and give children the confidence and desire to overcome their reading challenges.

The Canine Assistants Program has been featured on the local Atlanta news, NBC with Tom Brokaw and also CNN News.
