Seventh graders learn the Merengue
Seventh grade students in Señora Leibly's Spanish 1B enjoyed learning the basic steps of the merengue.
They also learned that the merengue, a style of music with a fast tempo, is the national dance of the Dominican Republic. After a few practice moves, students enjoyed swinging their hips to a few songs by Juan Luís Guerra and Elvis Crespo, two well known merengueros.

Native Plant Sale at WUHSMS
"The Woodstock Union High School Agriculture Department will be hosting their first ever Native Plant Sale this fall! The sale will run from 9am to 5pm Wednesday, September 25th and 9am - 3pm Thursday September 26th to Saturday, September 28th.
We have 30 different species and over 1300 individual plants! Plants will be $3 for small pots (~4”) and $5 for large pots (~6”). All proceeds directly benefit the Woodstock Union Agriculture Department. Your support helps to ensure that our greenhouse and gardens are thriving spaces where we can continue to teach and learn about agriculture, stewardship, sustainability, and systems thinking through experiential learning. For a list of plants, visit our website.
Students in the agriculture classes collected seeds for these plants last fall, planted them in pots to cold stratify over the winter, and cared for and divided them over the spring and summer. Now they are ready to be planted into your garden! Fall is a great time to plant native plants because the soil and temperature in the fall provide ideal conditions for new growth. Next spring, the plant will come back strong and ready to bloom.
Check out this article for more information about why native plants matter."
