Our children's futures are at stake in the 2023 School Board elections. On November 7, voters will choose new board members for South Washington County School District (ISD 833) and Stillwater Area School District (ISD 834) and decide on crucial bond referendums for ISD 833 and ISD 834. These critical choices deserve our attention. Stay informed and get involved by visiting our online voter guide.

Summer Skoolie Event 2023
Community Building
On Tuesday, August 8, Woodbury for Justice and Equality sponsored the Skoolie Bus at Newport Elementary. We brought dinner and dinnerware, including sub sandwiches, drinks, chips, and cookies. The kids were entertained with various activities, including yard games and temporary tattoos. We served around 60 dinners and enjoyed playing and visiting with the families that attended. It was a lovely summer night to connect with and support a community served by South Washington County Schools!
The Summer Skoolie program partners with SoWashCo CARES, Community Education, and our larger community. “Skoolie” is the name of the colorfully painted school bus that goes out into the community with sponsors like Woodbury for Equality and Justice to create community-building events like this one for people to connect.
