History: Super Goober Day is a tradition that dates back to the Georgia Military Academy days. It began as a parade for the younger students who were referred to as “Little Goobers” by the older cadets. Today, it is a Woodward Academy Parents Club event that has evolved into a huge fall festival for all Woodward students and families, through 6th grade. (This is not a fund raiser for the school. It is a fun event for the whole family, but please no pets!)

We strongly encourage you to wear this year’s Super Goober Day t-shirt, but this isn’t required to come out-of-uniform. Please check the weather reports for Super Goober Day and make certain that you send your student to school in appropriate, conservative pants or shorts and comfortable foot- wear.
Thank You:
We would like to thank those parents for volunteering to work a shift, donating a cake or baked good and being a sponsor for Super Goober Day. This event is ENTIRELY run by parent volunteers and it would not be possible without each one of you!
We are looking forward to a SUPER, SUPER GOOBER DAY!
