Dear Friends of the Woodville School,
We hope you were able to join us for an informative Juneteenth celebration that we co-sponsored with First United Baptist Church, and Circle Up Mid-Pen. Foundation Board members Bobby Ray and Wes Wilson gave excellent presentations on the history of the Woodville School and the history of Juneteenth. Next year, we hope to add new partners as the celebration continues to grow,
Many thanks to Bill Fulton for donating a period school desk and to Rick and Christy Crews for donating a flag with 48 stars.
We continue our work to identify the descendant community of Woodville and the other Rosenwald Schools in Gloucester. Board member LuAnn Nagel is researching the 1920 and 1930 Federal Census for Gloucester County to identify all the children who would have been eligible to attend the Woodville School and other Rosenwald Schools in the county. The census data can tell us a lot about the families and will be instrumental in finding their descendants who might be able to give us first hand accounts of the school and teachers.
