Students were very curious about our special visitor today. With his plush red suit, long white beard, tall black boots, and jolly personality, Santa quickly attracted everyone’s attention. He listened closely to wishes and answered many clever questions. The sense of wonder and excitement that he created was magical. We wish all of you a very happy and safe holiday season!
Our winter concert left everyone feeling a little bit lighter today. The assortment of classic and modern songs was perfectly arranged and kept the audience entertained. Our singers and musicians kept the beat going strong as we clapped along. As a special treat, our principal made a cameo appearance and joined the show. It was an amazing display of talent that impressed everyone in the theater.
Our photography students recently visited a local historical site. This trip was a great way to begin focusing on architectural photography. One of their favorite assignments was to take a picture from a worm’s eye view.
Our first pep rally was awesome! Everyone was so excited to cheer for Windsor’s athletic teams. Soccer season just ended, we participated in a multi-school track meet, and we started a bowling program. Now we are looking forward to basketball season. Go Wildcats!
As expected, our four-legged friends have been stealing our hearts in each session of PAWS. Once they feel comfortable, the pups love following commands and doing tricks for treats. When the treats are all gone, it’s nice to relax and enjoy being together.
Students in art class were given an opportunity to say thank you to veterans this week. They made beautiful cards with heartfelt messages. We are currently selling paper flags in honor and in memory of veterans who hold a special place in our hearts. The money we collect will be used to buy gift cards and special treats for veterans who reside at the Lyons VA Hospital in Berkley Heights, NJ. We hope it will make them smile this holiday season to be reminded of how thankful we are for their service and bravery.
We spent the last few days getting ready for our annual Thanksgiving luncheon. It seemed like a big undertaking at first, but with everyone’s contributions, it ran very smoothly. We had fun making tasty pies, festive centerpieces, and delicious food that we will enjoy together. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Thanksgiving food drive! We delivered several large boxes of non-perishable food to the Center for Food Action today. Your generosity will enable many people to have a much nicer holiday this year. We are very proud of our student council for making beautiful posters, reminding each homeroom about it, checking for expiration dates, and packing up the food. It was a job well done!
Bowling is gaining popularity among our high school students. This new bi-monthly activity at Windsor School is a great opportunity for them to socialize with peers. Since prior bowling experience isn’t necessary, the list of interested students continues to grow each month.
Our first parent seminar of the school year was presented by Frank Picone, a certified, advanced trainer in the Nurtured Heart Approach® which was created by Howard Glasser, MA. He discussed the importance of creating healthy relationships and recognizing that everyone has inherent greatness. “When we recognize a child’s strengths and focus on positive, everyday occurrences, rather than energizing negativity, we are creating an environment in which children can thrive”. It was a very informative evening and we received positive feedback from those who attended.
