A big thank you to all the families who have so generously given to the Woodridge Eagle Fund. With your generous donations we have raised $14,785! We are still working toward our goal to raise $25,000 this year, and there is still time to contribute. It's not too late, every little bit helps! Does your employer match donations to nonprofits? Be sure to submit your match request for your donation to the Woodridge Eagle Fund! We know many big employeers in our area offer matching. Everything we raise goes to our kids at our school!

Plastic Bags Needed
Give new life to your (clean) plastic grocery store bags!
We are short on plastic bags for the healthroom and would appreciate your donations.

General Instruction (Classroom Fund) Donations
Every Woodridge Elementary School student will be supplied with the instructional materials (e.g. textbooks, workbooks, paper, pencils, crayons, etc.) necessary for their academic success. We recognize children often like to bring their own supplies to supplement what we provide at school. Items you may choose to send with your child will be shared with the rest of the class to help us stretch school resources further.
This year, we are asking for optional monetary general donations from families who have room in their budgets to contribute. You will not receive school supply lists to purchase for your students. We have made this change because we want to eliminate pressure on family budgets in purchasing a list of school supplies for each student. Additionally, we can buy supplies at a lower cost in bulk. If you are able, please use the link below to donate money. A suggested donation amount per student is $15-25. For families who have additional room in their budgets, we encourage you to donate additional money to fund the additional students at our school.

Please be sure to select Woodridge as your school when donating.
Thank you so very much for your support!
