We celebrated the 100th Day of School this week with a special visit from Whiskers the Wildcat. The hallways are adorned with creative posters and projects made by the students. As many of them said, the time has flown by!

Warming Up at the Hot Cocoa Social
Sipping some hot cocoa and enjoying time together was a great way to welcome the holidays. Whiskers showed off his dance moves and took photos with everyone as we shared the excitement of the days ahead.
Let it Grow!
We held our second Movember campaign to raise awareness of the biggest health issues facing men today: Mental Health & Suicide Prevention, Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes
It was a collaborative effort to support our fathers, brothers, uncles, sons, and friends!
- Male staff members were encouraged to grow a mustache or beard and hopefully start a conversation about men’s health. Thanks to over 20 men who joined our challenge!
- Blood Pressure Screenings were offered to staff.
- Everyone was encouraged to get moving each day to stay mentally healthy and to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
- Art teachers included mustaches in their lessons to start a conversation about the importance of healthy living.
- Counselors ran mustache muse contests each week.
- Blue ribbons were sold to benefit the Movember Foundation.
Thanks so much to everyone who supported Movember!
Milestone for PAWS Program at Windsor
Our partnership with PAWS IN HAND is still going strong after 12 years! Learning on both ends of the leash is a simple philosophy that has brought joy to many students and rescued dogs over the years. Whether students are very comfortable with dogs already or they are unsure about how to approach them, attending a PAWS session is a meaningful experience. We are so grateful to the dedicated volunteers for their commitment to this important mission.
A Marvelous Masquerade Party!
Our annual masquerade party was a huge hit! Some fantastic superheros, beautiful princesses, and characters of all sorts had a great time playing games, dancing, and socializing. They created some special memories and left with a bag of goodies!
Annual Pink Out!
Windsor held a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign to honor everyone who has been impacted in one way or another by this terrible disease. We proudly wore pink and sold ribbons in support of The Collins Pavilion, located in Pompton Plains, New Jersey. This facility is home to outpatient breast health, cancer care, and pediatric services. Thanks to everyone for your support!
T.E.A.M. DAY!
Together Everyone Achieves More! We certainly proved that at Windsor’s first T.E.A.M. Day. It was an opportunity to lean on each other and reach common goals. Many people surprised themselves and participated in activities that brought smiles and laughter to everyone. We learned a lot and look forward to doing it again next year.
Bricks 4 Kidz
Spin art is always fun, but building a machine that makes spin art is awesome! Students had a blast using Legos to make motorized machines this summer.
Field Day Fun
Spending a day at the park was a great way to celebrate the end of the school year. The fresh air and freedom to run around were exactly what everyone needed. Some played board games and made jewelry while others opted for sports. It was nice to see everyone out and about on this beautiful day.
Team Building Triumphs
Working together to solve problems can be challenging, yet rewarding. It’s always interesting to see how different groups approach the task at hand. They sometimes need to compromise to reach the ultimate goal but in the end, everyone learns something from the experience.
