Woodlawn K-5 School

Hi, I’m Paige! As Woodlawn’s Family and Community Engagement Coordinator, I strive to serve our Wildcat students and families to the best of my ability through a variety of events and partnerships. I work alongside Portland Backpack, SEI, Woodlawn PTA, and others to provide our community with access to food, clothing, school supplies, financial assistance, and so much more. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if your student or family needs support. During my time away from school I run a photography business and I enjoy spending time with my family and my dog. As always, go Wildcats!
