🌱🌸 What a Week at Woodfin Elementary School Garden Club! 🌸🌱

Our Woodfin Wolverines had a wonderful week at Garden Club! Students worked together to explore nature, learn about how plants grow, and make our school grounds beautiful.

¡No olvides que la casa abierta de la Escuela Primaria Woodfin es esta noche de 5 a 6! ¡Ven por bocadillos y libros gratis para tu familia!

Don't forget Woodfin Elementary School open house is tonight from 5-6! Come get some free snacks and books for your family!

This week's Woodfin word of the week is “Analyze,” which means to look at something carefully.

In the Media Center, students are practicing this skill in fun ways:
🧱 Building with blocks and LEGOs — thinking carefully about how pieces fit together.
📚 Learning the parts of a book with hand motions — paying close attention to each section.

💬 Ask your student: “What is something at school you looked at very carefully today?”

Our kindergarteners had a blast this morning using shaving cream to practice their letter formation. They have learned t,b,f,m and n already. It was definitely a fun and eventful Friday!

Don't forget, Woodfin Wolverine picture day is Monday 9/15!

We are so proud of our Wolverines and proud to be Erwin Warriors! Together, we can climb any mountain and achieve great things side by side.

Today, we take a moment to remember September 11th — a day that forever changed our nation. We honor the memory of those we lost and extend our deepest gratitude to the heroes who stepped forward with courage and selflessness.

As we reflect, we also want to lift up our own hometown heroes who keep our community safe each and every day. A heartfelt thank you to Officer Holden , the Woodfin Police Department, and the Woodfin Fire Department for the sacrifices you make and the care you show to all of us.

We remember. We honor. We are grateful.

Woodfin Elementary School wolverines had a wonderful week one of the school year! We hope everyone enjoys the long weekend!

All Buncombe County Schools will be closed on Monday, Sept. 1, 2025 in observance of Labor Day.

Woodfin Wolverines are thrilled to be back to school today! UNCA Baseball and Woodfin Police joined us to cheer students into the building!

Our Wolverine family would like to Welcome Patrick McMurry our new music teacher.

I am going into my 24th year of teaching music. I have a Bachelors in Music from Appalachian State and Masters of Music Education from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. I have taught at each of the grade levels during my time, from high school to elementary school. I came to Buncombe County in the Fall of last year, returning to the elementary music classroom after three years at Waynesville Middle in Haywood County. I feel that each student has the right and needs a well rounded education that includes the arts. Music is an essential gateway to all other subjects.

My wife, Sharon, and I live in Arden. We have one son, Noah, who is currently doing his residency for emergency medicine. I love to travel, read, and am an avid fan of college football, basketball, and baseball. I sing in my church choir, play tuba in a brass ensemble, and enjoy keeping up with the latest in all genres of music.

Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of vibrant community at Woodfin Elementary.

A huge Wolverine welcome to our new physical education teacher Laura Correll.
Hello, my name is Laura Correll. I will be starting my 19th year with Buncombe County Schools. I have been at Johnston Elementary School the last two years and look forward to also be working with the wonderful staff and students at Woodfin Elementary School. I am from Asheville NC, I have three kids, and a grandson! I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, and going to the lake. I look forward to having an amazing school year!
