As they learn how to cook simple meals for themselves, our students become more self-sufficient. Dicing tomatoes, browning ground beef, and shredding lettuce are just a few of the important steps they recently followed to complete a taco recipe. Besides being a step towards independence, cooking is fun and we truly enjoy it!
Some of our students recently helped to weed gardens and plant seeds for new flowers at Shepherd’s Haven, a local adult day center. This group was not afraid to get their hands dirty and work hard to help brighten the days of the senior citizens who go there on a regular basis. It was a wonderful way to help our friends and enjoy the sunshine.
We believe in the value of providing opportunities for our students to socialize. On Valentine’s Day, we celebrated by having a winter social. People danced, sang, played games, created art, and more. It was a great way to relax together before our winter break.
We challenged our students and staff to show their school spirit by wearing a specific color to represent their grade. Congratulations to our senior class for showing the most spirit with 100% participation. We are excited to see who it will be next month!
The science of thermal energy was brought to life at Windsor by a company called Wondergy. Two scientists demonstrated different ways that energy is used and explained how and why it all works. We were on the edge of our seats during the whole colorful and exciting assembly.
Our student council worked together to make everything run smoothly at our annual pancake breakfast. They set the tables, served warm pancakes, and made everyone feel welcome. No task was too difficult for our eager crew as they worked in shifts to provide our hungry guests with a great experience.
After brainstorming about ideas that excite them, students have to come up with a game plan to make it all happen. Once they figure out what materials are required and they gather everything, it’s time for the next step. During the weekly sessions that follow, our entrepreneurs make their products. This is all in preparation for our annual marketplace where they have an opportunity to sell them. It’s a very exciting process that we look forward to each year!
Students were very curious about our special visitor today. With his plush red suit, long white beard, tall black boots, and jolly personality, Santa quickly attracted everyone’s attention. He listened closely to wishes and answered many clever questions. The sense of wonder and excitement that he created was magical. We wish all of you a very happy and safe holiday season!
We all enjoyed listening to our junior and senior choral groups perform at the winter concert. The music department has worked hard this year and it certainly showed as music filled the room. The various group numbers and individual acts were a great way to celebrate the new season.
Our photography students recently visited a local historical site. This trip was a great way to begin focusing on architectural photography. One of their favorite assignments was to take a picture from a worm’s eye view.
