A certified instructor recently taught some of our high school students how to perform CPR. The group was very interested in learning how to respond in emergency situations and to possibly save a life someday. This valuable and empowering experience will stay with them forever.

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.

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.
