Dr. Jeffrey
Adams - Principal
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I
would like to take a moment to personally introduce myself
as the new Principal of the Walnut Street School. Although
this will be my first year taking on this new and exciting
responsibility, I have actually been with the district for
the past five years. During that time, I have made many connections
to students, staff, families and community members within the
city of Woodbury. I truly feel at home here: what a wonderful
place to work! Woodbury is a very special place indeed.
Woodbury is unique as a small yet diverse community-based school
system that offers a host of educational and extra-curricular
opportunities while at the same time strives to deliver a personalized
education to all of our students. This concept of a personalized
education developed through a partnership with the school,
students and community could be no truer then at Walnut Street
Elementary.
Walnut Street capitalizes on our small tight knit community
atmosphere and fosters a wonderful environment for children to
learn and grow. Our teachers and support staff are truly exceptional
individuals who know that the education of our students is their
number one priority. As a result, our students not only leave
here with a solid foundation of academic knowledge, but also
with the ethics and interpersonal skills necessary to become
responsible and productive members of the community. We achieve
this goal through the development of a collaborative partnership
with faculty, support staff, families, and the broader community
of Woodbury.
As
the 2007-2008 school year begins, we cordially invite you to become
active participants in your child’s educational
experience here at Walnut. Remember, the greatest indicator
of a child’s success in school is the value the parent
places on education. Walnut Street deeply believes in this
philosophy and encourages our parents to get involved in classroom
activities, school and district wide committees, the H.S.A.,
and the many exciting Walnut Street events and projects that
take place throughout the school year.
Furthermore,
ongoing communication between you and your child’s
teacher from the beginning of school is important to facilitate
a strong team-based approach to education. Together, through
our successful collaboration, we will increase your child’s
opportunities for developmental growth, learning, and success.
Dr. Jeff Adams

Doug Park
Walnut Street School
Since the 2003-04 school year, Mr. Park has been sharing his outstanding musical gifts with Woodbury elementary students. Whether he is at the piano leading children in song or helping a fifth grader fine tune their performance during an instrumental music lesson, Doug Park exudes high standards, positive energy and boundless enthusiasm. His specialty is differentiating instruction – meeting each learner where they are in terms of ability and skill, and moving them forward to mastery. Mr. Park’s light shines especially brightly at his spring and winter concerts, and during his yearly Family Night events.

Theresa
Richman
Walnut Street School
Congratulations
to a very special Woodbury kindergarten teacher who has
just been named Teacher of the Year from Walnut Street
School: Theresa Richman.
Perhaps
Robert Fulghum was thinking of this wonderful woman when
he wrote:
“Most
of what I really need to know about how to live, and
what to do, and how to be, I learned in Kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate school mountain,
but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
Take
a nap every afternoon.
When
you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands,
and stick together.
Be
aware of wonder. Remember the little seed in the plastic
cup? The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody
really knows how or why, but we are all like that…”
