Poetry Out Loud, a poetry recitation competition through the Arts Council, was held at Woodland High School for the first time in early January. With the guidance of WHS English teacher, Mrs. Stegeman, thirteen WHS students participated in the competition. The winner, Harlie Hinkle, will compete at regionals in Cape Girardeau this February with a chance to advance to the state level in Jefferson City. Congratulations to Harlie, Katelynn Hahs (2nd place), Skyler Hinkle (3rd place), and all of the participants for a job well done! #CardinalPride

Congratulations to the WMS November Leaders of the Month!
The Woodland School District buses encountered icy conditions on our bus routes this morning. We experienced two incidents with our buses:
Bus #9 encountered ice at the intersection of County Road 314 and County Road 312. The bus attempted to make the turn and had to utilize the shoulder to come to a stop. The bus driver was able to back up the bus and continue the route.
Bus # 4 encountered a stranded vehicle on an icy hill on County Road 306. The bus driver had to reverse course and reroute the bus route to pickup the remaining students.
We will continue to monitor road conditions and make every effort to provide safe transportation for the students of the district.
HSGB game for tonight vs Puxico has been postponed. The make-up date will be posted when secured.
Good evening Woodland School District. The Woodland School District will be closed on Monday, January 22, due to impending weather. Again, we hope to be in session on Tuesday.

Woodland School District grieves the passing of Board of Education Member
Doug Lindley
Statement from the Woodland R-IV Board of Education
Doug Lindley was a selfless leader whose guidance and camaraderie will be dearly missed. As we mourn the loss of our fellow board member, advocate, and friend, our hearts go out to Doug’s family.
Mr. Lindley has longstanding roots in the Woodland community, having attended Woodland School District and graduating in 1977. After honorably serving in the Marines, he moved back to the Bollinger County area.
As an advocate for the district, Mr. Lindley has served on the Woodland Board of Education in the 1990’s and again from 2016-present. He served as an active member and was elected Board President for several years. The building expansion of the elementary wing, launching the track program and facilities, as well as securing the funding for the new FEMA Safe Room benefited the district.
“Doug’s leadership and ‘big picture’ perspective will be missed,” said Dr. Adrian Eftink, superintendent of schools. “His unwavering commitment to the children of the Woodland community enabled the Board of Education to prioritize many important district initiatives.”
Doug was a fixture at school events and activities. He enjoyed taking pictures at various athletic events but most of all, he loved seeing students excel in academics.
Our deepest condolences go out to Doug’s wife Pam, and all of Doug’s family members and friends and one honorary school board member, his dog Bugg.
Good afternoon Woodland School District. The Woodland School District will be closed on Thursday, January 18. Thank you and have a good evening.
