On Friday, May 2, 2025, the Cairo School District held a touching balloon release in memory of Joe L. Woodson, a cherished and longtime member of the school staff.
Mr. Woodson served the district with dedication and heart for over 25 years. Known for his warm smile and generous spirit, Joe was a friend to all—students, faculty, and visitors alike. He never met a stranger and was always quick to offer a helping hand or a word of encouragement.
The event brought together family, friends, and members of the community to celebrate Joe’s life and legacy. His wife, children, siblings, and extended family stood alongside students and colleagues during the ceremony, honoring a man who meant so much to so many.
Though his passing leaves a profound void, Joe L. Woodson will always be remembered for the kindness and joy he shared every day. His legacy will continue to inspire all who walk the halls of Cairo’s schools.
