“Everything that we do has a strong emphasis on community, a strong emphasis on family, and we understand that everything starts with
our young scholars,” Woodside on the Move Executive Director William Jourdain said. “And so the idea of these types of events, such as the spring carnival, is to not just be impactful, but to provide a space where community, family and neighbors can come together.”
