🧼✨ Mrs. Ryberg’s kindergarten class had a special visit from our school nurse!
She talked with students about the importance of proper handwashing and how germs spread. Using the Glitterbug, students put “pretend germs” on their hands, saw them under the light, then washed up and checked how well they did.
A fun and hands-on way to learn about staying healthy! 💧👏





Greenfield Elementary has scheduled this year’s music programs! 🗓️

We are proud to highlight Kelsey (Ducklow) Brewer, a 2005 graduate of Baldwin-Woodville, who has been making an impact in her community since she returned to Baldwin-Woodville in January of 2012!
During her time as a student, Kelsey was a multi-sport athlete (volleyball, basketball, and softball), was onstage and behind-the-scenes in drama class productions, and was a class representative on student council. Kelsey now wears many hats in her role as Executive Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent, managing day-to-day operations and providing support to staff, students, and the broader community. Her dedication and love for Baldwin-Woodville shine through in everything she does. ❤️
Thank you, Kelsey, for your unwavering commitment to making Baldwin-Woodville a better place for all! We’re so fortunate to have alumni like you giving back and helping our district thrive. 🙌
