Excellent performance tonight by our 6th grade Band and Chorus students!!Special Thanks to Mr. McConnell, Band director and Ms. Boggs, Chorus director for preparing our students for Fall Concert. Way to rock the stage Eagles!!!
🎨🏺 Arts in Education Week Spotlight: Woodlawn Middle students are molding their talents as part of the North Carolina Museum of Art Artist Innovation Mentorship (AIM) program! Under art teacher John Dodson's guidance, they've explored pottery and batik with guest artist Laura Daughtry, pottery instructor from Eastern Alamance High School. Their creative works even graced a summer exhibition at the Mebane Arts Center! Mr. Dodson shares, "This program is a fantastic way to expose students to the wider world of art. Students get to meet local artists that have continued to make art past their school years, some as a hobby and some as a career."
As we celebrate Arts in Education Week, programs like NCMA AIM showcase the power of creativity in schools. In its first year, AIM reached over 100 students and 5,000 community members across seven NC counties. Woodlawn Middle eagerly continues this journey, planning more artistic explorations with more guest artists and a potential school beautification project.

Additionally, nine visual artists showcased their talents at the prestigious Alamance Arts Center.
The bottom line? Woodlawn cultivates well-rounded individuals destined for greatness. With a nurturing environment that unleashes potential in every arena, these Eagles are prepared to leave their mark. The academic achievers, talented artists, and winning athletes all soar thanks to an unmatched experience that allows students to spread their wings. The sky is truly the limit at Woodlawn Middle!
