Woerner Wildcat’s Roar for Reading in the Woerner “PAWS” for Reading Program.
Woerner students get their reading on through their Renaissance MyOn app on their iPads. Each student has a weekly reading goal of 25 minutes in MyOn. When they reach that goal along with every 25 minutes of reading each week, they receive a reading “PAWS” for reading. Classrooms reaching their reading goal receive a Super Paw award and are entered into a drawing held at our monthly Character Education Program. That class receives the PAWS for Reading banner and a reading party. Principal Matthews, Assistant Principal Guinn and Academic Instructional Coach Strand will read to the winning class during their special reading party.

Welcome to Woerner Principal's Corner
Hello! My name is Ms. Kathy Matthews, and I am the principal here at Woerner School. I have been working at Woerner since 2010, first as an Academic Instructional Coach, then as Assistant Principal, and now as Principal. Woerner School is a neighborhood elementary school that serves students in preschool through 5th grade. The staff at Woerner School is committed to ensuring the success of all of our students both academically and socially. We have strong academic and character education programs that help develop the whole child. Woerner is a top choice for many families in our surrounding neighborhood. We recently received both the Missouri State School of Character Award and the coveted National School of Character Award. If you are interested in joining Woerner as a school family, a community partner, or volunteer, please contact us at 314-481-8585.
I am so excited to have everyone back.
Warm wishes,
