Ms. Murphy recently found a wonderful way for our students to help other children! They made colorful pillowcases for kids undergoing treatment in the hospital. Their beautiful creations will be sent to an organization dedicated to helping kids feel better to heal better. Volunteers deliver more than 200,000 bright, cheerful pillowcases each year to children and their families in over 330 hospitals.

This winter, we partnered with the Pompton Lakes Rotary Club to help those in need of food, clothing, and toys. We were grateful for the opportunity to help brighten the season for as many families as possible.
The rain didn’t keep us from having a great day! We painted pumpkins, dyed t-shirts, made slime, challenged ourselves in an escape room, and tried some Minute to Win It games. It was nice way to celebrate the season together.
We invited our homerooms to decorate their rooms for Halloween. Each group used a different approach and the results were awesome. Awards were presented for the most creative, funniest, creepiest, and best overall designs.
Windsor held a Breast Cancer Awareness campaign to honor everyone who has been impacted by this 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!
Windsor joined schools across the nation during the Week of Respect to take a stand against bullying. We emphasized the importance of celebrating our differences and accepting everyone for who they are. It was great to see so many people “teaming up” for this special cause.
We welcomed autumn with a flower sale this year. Students decorated simple flower pots with colorful fabric and tied them up with pretty ribbon. These beautiful mums will help to brighten many doorsteps, windowsills, and tables.
Our students are learning about the techniques of Alma Thomas, an expressionist painter, a devoted art educator, and the first African American woman to have a solo exhibit at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Thomas, who started painting seriously at age 69, was known for her powerful color choices.
We decided to redesign our flower garden this year. Teamwork is very important when it comes to these projects and everyone is enthusiastic about digging in and doing their part. It will take some time and hard work, but we are all looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
It was a such beautiful day to have gym class outside. After doing a series of warm-up exercises, students tried to see how far they could jump. Maybe some of them will be inspired to join track one day!
