Land O’ Lakes, FL – (October 20, 2014) – For the fourth year, Woodland Elementary School will take more than 500 students in grades 2 through 5 to tour four college campuses, as follows:
2nd Grade – Saint Leo University – November 5 (10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)
3rd Grade – University of South Florida – November 6 (10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.)
4th Grade – University of Central Florida – November 14 (noon to 3 p.m.)
5th Grade – University of Florida – November 7 (noon to 3 p.m.)
Woodland Elementary promotes a goal-oriented mindset through their motto and vision of “Planning ahead, aiming high, college bound!” This theme is visible throughout the Woodland campus and school culture.
At Woodland, they believe that all students can achieve great things in life, including attending college and securing a successful career. Even though most of the school’s 900 students come from impoverished homes, their possibilities are endless if they decide to dedicate themselves to their education in elementary school.
Visiting these college campuses gives students a first-hand glimpse into what is possible in their future. The goal is to continue these trips each year so that eventually, every Woodland student will visit four college campuses before leaving for middle school at the end of fifth grade. This year’s fifth grade class is the first to have visited all four campuses.
For more information, or if you would like to cover one or more of these trips, contact Woodland Principal Kimberly Poe at 813-794-6400, or at kpoe@pasco.k12.fl.us.
