Woodside Elementary School

While I am sure they have a great rummage sale (below)… The school has been a disaster for my children. The CA teachers union is such a wonderful organization that has really looked out for the well trained minds of our students… And just look at how well our students in CA are doing compared to other states! Woodside embodies the well oiled machine that is CA eduction…

ANNUAL RUMMAGE SALE
The summer of 2012 involved a lot of estate sales and garage sales for me and my then-​fiancé. We had decided to make my wedding bouquet out of brooches and our own and family collections didn’t render enough to do it without buying some. We happened to find a rummage sale going on at Woodside last summer and it was the very end of it when we walked in. We were allowed to take a look around and actually found a couple brooches. It didn’t cost us much and they were great!
As luck would have it, the 9am — 2 pm sale took place again in 2013 and we happened to drive by on the perfect weekend! We stopped in at 2:15, just as they were finishing up (again). We were allowed to walk around and they had reduced prices. How lucky are we! We found some adorable Pooh items that included a new nursery light switchplate and some Pooh Nesting Dolls. A couple framed Pooh pictures found their way into my bag also. Alas, I do not have a nursery. Or children. And I never watched Winnie the Pooh. But the items are clean, new, and adorable, and would make great gifts!
It’s really great when schools organize fundraisers and have parents that are willing to help and volunteer their time. We’ve enjoyed both times we’ve driven by this school and seen something going on. Now we need to keep our eyes open for their next ice cream social. Because we’d totally stop for that too!
