Woodbrook Elementary MLK Walk ACPS Team, I want to invite all of you to feel free to come on out to Woodbrook on Monday-January 16th for our 3rd Annual MLK Walk for a Cause. As a way of recognizing the sacrifices that Dr. King made in order to make our world a better and more peaceful place for all, we encourage our students and staff to sacrifice a little bit of their "free time" on their day off to walk for something important to them. It will take place from 12:00-5:00pm at the Woodbrook Track, behind the school. We love sharing this day with others, so we hope you and any of your staff can make it out. I have attached a link with the announcement that you can share with your staff. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EPk6bEHFHvGJlm0Q-5QJ3eAhxJ6AwpfNsyJW8t4zEkU/edit?usp=sharing Lisa Molinaro, Principal Woodbrook
