Tales of Transformation

Christopher Agostino, a popular storyteller, illustrated traditional folktales and fascinating original stories for us. We learned about many world cultures and were captivated by the details of each wonderful story as they came to life on the faces of our eager volunteers.

Shooting Hoops

We all look forward to a great game of basketball, especially when it’s students vs. staff!  The competition was tough and both teams fought hard. Fans cheered loudly as each team took turns pulling ahead. It was a great way to get some exercise as we ended the second week of our summer program.

Inspired by Music Technology

Using a digital sampling keyboard workstation,  a blend of high energy music, audience participation, and humor, Brent Daniels presented us with an exciting and informative assembly. An award-winning composer, producer, sound designer, and recording artist, Mr. Daniels uses the latest in music technology to sculpt sound and create music. Many people left the assembly feeling inspired to try something new and use their imagination.

Answering the Call

We jumped into action and helped our friends at the Weis Center last week. They had a fence that needed to be stained and we were there to get it done. For the past several months, we have been working on all types of special projects. It’s been a great way for our students to learn skills and share their abilities while providing a service for an incredible organization.

Congratulations, Windsor Graduates!

We are so proud of the Class of 2019! While many of them have been part of the Windsor family since kindergarten, others joined us for the first time, this year.  This group of young adults has such a wide variety of interests, talents, and dreams. We have high hopes for what they are going to accomplish and wish them success and happiness as they begin this new chapter of their lives.

Food, Friends, & Fun

We celebrated the end of the school year with a barbeque. Delicious food, music provided by our own DJ, and breezy weather all added up to a perfect gathering. It was a nice way to relax and reflect upon a wonderful year together.

A Group Effort for a Good Cause

This spring, Windsor Schools teamed up with Pompton Lakes High School and Rotary Club to help CUMAC, a food bank located in Paterson, NJ whose mission is to feed people and change lives. As a group, we donated 313 pounds of food with recipes and all of the ingredients needed to cook specific meals, $500 in checks, and $200 in ShopRite gift cards. It was an amazing experience that allowed our students to see how much can be accomplished when people work together.

Spreading Kindness

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.

A NYC Themed Spring Celebration

When asked to vote for a theme for the Spring Bash this year, our students chose New York City.  What a great choice!  We dined on steaming hotdogs, pizza, and Italian ices and danced under the city lights. Some enjoyed karaoke while others played basketball or tried on some funky clothes in the photo booth. It was a great party that provided everyone with a chance to socialize.

Serving Others Feels Good

We brought a group of hard-working students and staff to Eva’s Kitchen this month.  Our team was responsible for setting tables, serving lunch, and cleaning up. Once the guests were finished eating, we started to get ready for the next group of hungry people. It was very important for us to follow directions and pay attention to the details. This was a great learning experience for everyone involved and we are looking forward to our next community service trip.
