From The President of the WEA

Even though I have been trying, I realize that it will be impossible for me to meet with each one of you individually before we start our winter break, therefore I will use the next best thing, the Woodbury Education website to post this end of year message. I want to thank you ALL for your constant support and words of encouragement, they made my period of transition to president an easier one. Special thanks go to the Executive committee, the Negotiations committee, and the Action committee, these members have given countless hours in the past year working toward what we hope will ultimately be a fruitful contract settlement. To all Association Representatives, Sunshine, and Pride committees to name a few others, thank you for all you do behind the scenes, your efforts do not go unnoticed. And again to all the members who I have met and hope to meet in the upcoming year I wish you and your families a healthy, prosperous, and joyous New Year.
Sincerely,
Michele Sokolovic

Statement of Purpose

The Woodbury Education Association (WEA) is a professional organization uniting the Professional, Secretarial/Clerk and Maintenance/Custodial Support Personnel. Our goal is to provide for the students in the Woodbury Public Schools the most complete and relevant education possible in order for these students to be successful in all of their future endeavors.

News of WEA

Here is the Gloucester County Times article reporting on the demonstration by WEA members at the October 20, 2009 Board of Education Meeting concerning faithful negotiations. We would like to give a BIG THANK YOU to the Deptford Township Education Association and the Gloucester County Education Association for their support at the demonstration. Below you will find some pictures of that evening.

16 members of the Class of 2007 were members of the National Honor Society.
TheClass of 2007 was offered more than $2,000,000.00 in scholarships and grants.
The WEA is active in the community supporting a Tee Ball Team (The Teachers’ Pets), offering a free senior citizen luncheon along with free tickets to the High School Musical, encourage community members to become active in our schools, along with many other activities.
Our students go on to lead successful professional lives. Many come back to Woodbury as members of the faculty.
