A Letter from Woodlynde's Assistant Head of School for Institutional Advancement
Dear Woodlynde School Community,
As we celebrate Woodlynde School’s 50th anniversary, we’re reflecting on the many ways our community has grown, evolved, and continued to thrive over the decades. This milestone year is not only a time to honor our history—it’s a time to celebrate the heart of who we are: a community where every student can discover their strengths, build confidence, and find belonging.
This year’s Community Celebration and Auction will support a space that embodies that spirit—the All-Purpose Room. It’s where our transformational work takes place every day. From our no-cut theater program to our inclusive athletics offerings, the APR is where students take the stage, join a team, and find opportunities that may not have been possible in larger schools. With your generosity, we can update and refresh this vital space so that it visually reflects the incredible growth, joy, and transformation that happens within it. Together, let’s make the All-Purpose Room shine as brightly as the students who bring it to life.
In gratitude,
Shauna Betof P'27
Assistant Head of School for Institutional Advancement
