Thank you to everyone who donated to our Thanksgiving food drive! We delivered several large boxes of non-perishable food to the Center for Food Action today. Your generosity will enable many people to have a much nicer holiday this year. We are very proud of our student council for making beautiful posters, reminding each homeroom about it, checking for expiration dates, and packing up the food. It was a job well done!
We are so thankful to the Pompton Lakes Rotary Club for making their annual delivery of dictionaries to our third graders. Our students were very excited to hear about how much fascinating information they can find in this special gift. They learned about the many wonderful things that the rotary club does to help people around the world. We hope that they will be inspired to put service above self in their own lives.
Bowling is gaining popularity among our high school students. This new bi-monthly activity at Windsor School is a great opportunity for them to socialize with peers. Since prior bowling experience isn’t necessary, the list of interested students continues to grow each month.
The experience of learning how to ride, feed, and groom horses at Starlight Farm is something that our students will never forget. They discover how to trust the horses and gain confidence in themselves with every trip to the farm.
Our first parent seminar of the school year was presented by Frank Picone, a certified, advanced trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach® which was created by Howard Glasser, MA. He discussed the importance of creating healthy relationships and recognizing that everyone has inherent greatness. “When we recognize a child’s strengths and focus on positive, everyday occurrences, rather than energizing negativity, we are creating an environment in which children can thrive”. It was a very informative evening and we received positive feedback from those who attended.
The skills and strategies that our students learn in speech, counseling, and occupational therapy impact their lives in so many ways. It takes time, patience, and perseverance, but it’s well worth the effort.
Everyone joined in the fun this Halloween. We had a walking lemonade stand, living storybook characters, superheroes of all sizes, a famous artist and many more. It was a great day for a parade and classroom celebrations. Happy Halloween!
Windsor staff and students wore pink and held a dress down day in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

Thank you so much to everyone who participated!
Our first monster bash was awesome! Creative costumes, yummy treats, pumpkin painting, a mummy wrapping contest, and dancing kept everyone entertained. The team of student and staff party planners thought of everything and made it a fun event for all.
