We had fun showing our grinchy side during Holiday Spirit Week! It was awesome to see so much excitement and creativity among students and staff during this special time.

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!
College and Career Fair
Students had an opportunity to speak with representatives from a variety of organizations today. They were encouraged to discover different career paths and learn about the options that lie ahead. Windsor School is dedicated to helping each student reach their full potential as they navigate this exciting time!
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.
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!
Circus Skills Workshops!
We all had a chance to learn circus skills from a professional performer. It was great to see people so focused and excited to accomplish something new. Staff and students had fun and enjoyed this interactive experience.
The Phantom Tollbooth Comes Alive
Congratulations to the cast of our annual drama production! The Phantom Tollbooth follows the story of a young boy named Milo who embarks on a wild journey to restore the Kingdom of Wisdom. He learns valuable lessons about the importance of curiosity and imagination and meets quirky characters along the way. It was a wonderful performance and we so proud of everyone who made it happen.
2nd Annual Career Fair at Windsor
We had a great turnout this year! Our students met entrepreneurs from a wide variety of backgrounds and had a chance to engage in meaningful conversations. Representatives from several colleges and career paths distributed important information and hopefully inspired some of our young adults to think about the possibilities that lie ahead.
Making Valuable Connections
Equine therapy fosters independence in our students. It helps them to focus and grow stronger with each encounter.
Still in Demand After a Decade
The PAWS program at Windsor is going strong! Students and dogs are always eager to meet one another and have some fun. On the surface, it may seem like all cuddles and treats but the benefits go way beyond that and have a positive impact on everyone involved. We are so grateful to the incredible volunteers at PAWS in HAND who continue to make it all possible.
