We all look forward to a great game of basketball, especially when it’s students vs. staff! The competition was tough and both teams fought hard. Fans cheered loudly as each team took turns pulling ahead. It was a great way to get some exercise as we ended the second week of our summer program.
Using a digital sampling keyboard workstation, a blend of high energy music, audience participation, and humor, Brent Daniels presented us with an exciting and informative assembly. An award-winning composer, producer, sound designer, and recording artist, Mr. Daniels uses the latest in music technology to sculpt sound and create music. Many people left the assembly feeling inspired to try something new and use their imagination.
We are having an awesome summer here at Windsor! The Brain Challenge assembly was fantastic and we loved learning how to create music using sound design technology. Our stomp rockets and pine derby cars are turning out great and we are looking forward to using them both at field day. Learning to cook nutritious meals, and enjoying time together at local restaurants has been wonderful. It’s going by so fast and we are trying to make the most of every day!
Students had the chance to learn about the salt marshes and act as field biologists during the first week of our extended school year program. Armed with long nets, they eagerly searched for the wide variety of creatures that inhabit the Meadowlands. Many were happy to report that they were successful in collecting specimens.
We jumped into action and helped our friends at the Weis Center last week. They had a fence that needed to be stained and we were there to get it done. For the past several months, we have been working on all types of special projects. It’s been a great way for our students to learn skills and share their abilities while providing a service for an incredible organization.
Have you ever tried using pasta to create words? It’s not easy! We asked groups of students to form words with different types of pasta. It was a fun team building activity that required patience and thought. They enjoyed figuring out which noodles worked best for each letter.
We are so proud of the Class of 2019! While many of them have been part of the Windsor family since kindergarten, others joined us for the first time, this year. This group of young adults has such a wide variety of interests, talents, and dreams. We have high hopes for what they are going to accomplish and wish them success and happiness as they begin this new chapter of their lives.
Congratulations to our 8th-grade graduates as they move on to high school! While at Windsor, they had many opportunities to learn, form friendships, make lasting memories, and grow, both emotionally and socially. We hope that these experiences will inspire the class of 2019 to follow their dreams and make a positive difference in the world.
We celebrated the end of the school year with a barbeque. Delicious food, music provided by our own DJ, and breezy weather all added up to a perfect gathering. It was a nice way to relax and reflect upon a wonderful year together.
