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.
As they learn how to cook simple meals for themselves, our students become more self-sufficient. Dicing tomatoes, browning ground beef, and shredding lettuce are just a few of the important steps they recently followed to complete a taco recipe. Besides being a step towards independence, cooking is fun and we truly enjoy it!
Our photography students are using forced perspectives to create an optical illusion. Using an assortment of toy cars, their goal is to trick the viewer into thinking the cars are real. They’ve been having a great time with this assignment and the results are quite impressive.
Along with cooler temperatures and falling leaves, September brings with it a feeling of excitement as everyone heads back to school. At Windsor, we are all looking forward to an amazing year filled with growth and new opportunities for our students.
Our friends from PAWS visited us twice this summer! It was so nice to see them and to meet their furry companions. This invaluable experience helps our students learn how to approach dogs cautiously and increases the sense of trust that the dogs have for people. We are so grateful to all of the amazing volunteers at PAWS who make this special program possible.
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.
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.
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.
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.
