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.

1st Annual Educational Fair at Windsor

This year, we hosted an Educational Fair which encompassed all areas of the school curriculum. Staff and students from Windsor Learning Center and Windsor School worked collaboratively to produce interesting exhibits for this special event. Our hallways and gymnasium were adorned with beautiful displays that represented a wide array of topics. The interactive nature of each area provided visitors with many hands-on experiences as they toured the Windsor Museum. We were very excited to see so many parents and their feedback was incredible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Making Choices

In keeping with tradition, our high school students wrote and performed their own drama production this year.  This original play was called “Choices” and it revolved around some difficult situations that students often encounter in high school.  We are very proud of this endeavor which takes time and dedication.  Congratulations to everyone who helped to make it a success!

Preparing for the Future

With graduation only a few months away, our seniors have begun visiting local colleges. This experience is a very important part of the final year of high school and we want everyone to be aware of the exciting options that lie ahead. Our transition team works hard to ensure that students will feel prepared as they reach this special milestone in their lives.

The Social Aspect

We believe in the value of providing opportunities for our students to socialize. On Valentine’s Day, we celebrated by having a winter social. People danced, sang, played games, created art, and more. It was a great way to relax together before our winter break.
