Live.Dream.Be.

Posted on February 12, 2020 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

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!

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.

Cool Sounds of the Season

Our junior and senior choruses performed a variety of sensational songs at our annual winter concert. The audience was excited to see so many talented musicians and singers join together to kick off the holiday season. We are very proud of everyone who worked so hard to make it an incredible show.  We wish you all a very happy and healthy new year and look forward to seeing you in 2020!

Pompton Lakes Holiday Stroll

Posted on December 8, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

We had a candy cane raceway, a fun craft station, and so many enthusiastic visitors at the holiday stroll!  Mickey Mouse, Olaf, Buzz Light Year, and their friends marched alongside a talented marching band as they paraded down Wanaque Avenue. This annual tradition is such a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season with the Pompton Lakes community.

Special Drive Benefits Tomorrows Children’s Fund

Posted on November 28, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

We sponsored a cartoon band-aid and craft supply drive for the children at Hackensack Hospital. As an added twist, some staff members bravely volunteered to be pied by the Windsor Wildcat in support of this cause. With every donation, contributors had the chance to vote for whichever person they wished to see pied.  It was very exciting to watch the pile of boxes grow each day. Before Thanksgiving break, we held a school-wide assembly to celebrate the end of this successful drive and reveal the staff members who received the most votes. In total, the Windsor community collected 386 items!
