The Woodward Parkway Student Council organized a food drive for the school's Week of Thanks. Students created "Thanksgiving Meals To Go" using"donations from each classroom. These Thanksgiving bags and gift cards from Stew Leonards are distributed to local families in need. The council comprised committed students who worked diligently to ensure the event's success. Their collaboration and dedication to community service were evident in every aspect of the food drive. Each student contributed significantly, from setting up collection points to sorting and packing the meals.

The Week of Thanks evolved into a cherished tradition that students, teachers, and families eagerly anticipated each year, celebrating the spirit of giving and gratitude.

The Woodward Parkway Student Council meets twice a month throughout the school year.
