Many of you may have heard that Laurel Woods is turning 40 this year. And what an amazing transformation the school has had over the course of these years. From originally being named Whiskey Bottom Road Elementary School to the name change in the 90’s to Laurel Woods. While the neighborhood has changed and continues to change, showing the deep diversity of Howard County, Laurel Woods has academically improved with each given year.  Yes, Laurel Woods continues to evolve into a first-rate elementary school with first-rate administrators, teachers, academic programs and of course, students.

The PTA is sponsoring a number of events to coincide with this anniversary and we need your help. Committees are forming and will form for celebratory events, programs and activities. If you are interested in helping, please contact us at lwespta@gmail.com.

We would also like to hear your thoughts and/or ideas on Laurel Woods turning the big 4-0! Are you a parent who attended Laurel Woods or former teacher? Have you had children to transition from Laurel Woods to middle school or still have children attending? If so, we want to hear your most fond memories of the school. Also, if you have any ideas on how we can celebrate the school, feel free to leave those thoughts as well.  Please leave your comments.

Cheers to Laurel Woods for

40 years of Academic Excellence in bridging the past to our future!
