Jumping for a Cause

This Valentine’s Day, in support of the American Heart Association, we held our annual Jump Rope for Heart. Fun physical activities, music, and healthy snacks were available for everyone.  Many people also enjoyed making beautiful cards for someone special in their lives.  Thank you to all who supported this heart-healthy fundraiser!

Windsor’s Got Talent!

The stars shined brightly at our annual talent show.  We had comedians, musicians, dancers, singers and more. It was a great opportunity for kids of all ages to share their talents and ambitions with everyone.  Although performing in front of an audience can sometimes be intimidating, the wonderful support of family members, friends, teachers, and classmates helps our students to overcome their fears.

Live.Dream.Be.

Live your Dream and Be yourself.  This simple philosophy was recently presented to us by Ray “Digmi” Navarette, a former professional baseball player and current successful entrepreneur.  After sharing with us some of his personal struggles and triumphs, Ray encouraged everyone in the audience to outlast obstacles and chase their dreams.  His wonderful personality and motivational words inspired students to stand up and share their dreams.  We hope that Ray’s story will persuade people of all ages to believe in themselves and pursue their goals.

A Simple Idea and a Snowfall of Fun

Our first winter festival was a huge success!  Proudly wearing their student council t-shirts, workers were excited to see all of their decorations, games, and snacks being enjoyed by the visitors.  It was a day filled with great learning opportunities, social interactions, and pure fun.  With spring just around the corner, they are already thinking about what to do next.

Service Above Self

Members of the Pompton Lakes Rotary Club delivered an important message to our third graders this month. They explained the importance of helping others and finding ways to make the world a better place.  Simple acts of kindness and good deeds are things that people can do at almost any age.  The guest speakers encouraged our young students to get involved with their communities.  As part of their annual tradition, the Rotarians brought us some special gifts. Each student received a new dictionary along with an inspirational journal so that they could jot down their ideas.  We are so thankful to the Rotary Club for all that they do around the globe and for taking the time to talk with our students each year.

A Flurry of Excitement

Student Council is going to host WLC’s first indoor Winter Festival at the end of January!  A few weeks ago, members brainstormed about games, decorations, and crafts that would be fun for the whole school community.  Since then, they have been working together to bring these ideas to life.  Student Council members can’t wait to welcome visiting homerooms and help their peers enjoy the many activities that will be available throughout the day.

Help on Both Ends of the Leash

Over the past eight years, many special puppies and dogs have taken part in PAWS. This little one stole our hearts from the moment we met him.  Baby T, a very sweet five-year-old, was timid at first but eventually met everyone and happily accepted treats.  Learning how to put dogs at ease and show them kindness is a wonderful experience for our students.  We are very grateful to the volunteers who continue to bring the PAWS program to Windsor.

Go Wildcats!

We recently had our first basketball game of the year.  It was great to see our players in action as they hustled up and down the court.  It’s going to be another awesome season!

Spreading Holiday Cheer

Our friends at Shepherd’s Haven gave us a warm welcome today. We sang songs, made beautiful snowflakes, and played games. It was nice to spend time together and enjoy the holidays.
