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.
A New Perspective

Pep Rally Raises Spirits
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!
A Measure of Trust
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.
A Special Thank You to All Veterans
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.
Preparing for a Feast
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!
Every Can Counts
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!
A Whole New Ball Game
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.
The Nurtured Heart Approach® – A Parent Seminar
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.
Windsor Wears Pink
Windsor staff and students wore pink and held a dress down day in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October. This annual, international health campaign helps to educate people about the importance of early screening and raises funds for research into the cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and cure of breast cancer. Thank you so much to everyone who participated!
Monster Bash is a Huge Success
Our first monster bash was awesome! Creative costumes, yummy treats, pumpkin painting, a mummy wrapping contest, and dancing kept everyone entertained. The team of student and staff party planners thought of everything and made it a fun event for all.
