We asked students and staff to send us pictures of their beloved pets. The response was incredible. Windsor certainly loves animals! Click below to see a cute video…
School Spirit at Windsor!

Warming Up at the Winter Social
Each season, we take a break from our regular schedules and enjoy an afternoon of food, music, and fun. This is especially important during the winter months which can be long and dreary. Socializing, playing, laughing, and relaxing are the main goal of these special events.
Live.Dream.Be.
Live your Dream and Be yourself. This simple philosophy was recently presented to us by Ray “Digmi” Navarette, a former professional baseball player and current successful entrepreneur. After sharing with us some of his personal struggles and triumphs, Ray encouraged everyone in the audience to outlast obstacles and chase their dreams. His wonderful personality and motivational words inspired students to stand up and share their dreams. We hope that Ray’s story will persuade people of all ages to believe in themselves and pursue their goals.
An Opportunity for Growth
Entering the workforce for the first time is a very exciting milestone. Our post-graduates are given the chance to work in many different environments throughout the school year. We greatly appreciate the many local businesses that partner with us and provide our students with this incredible experience.
Lending a Hand to Some Furry Friends
We had a wonderful experience volunteering at the Alan Purcell Wayne Animal Shelter. After the staff showed us what needed to be done, we split up into teams to wash dishes, wipe counters, fold laundry and clean crates. The cats watched curiously as we swept and mopped the floors. While we were there, other volunteers fed the animals and cleaned their litter boxes. It was very exciting to meet a few of the dogs and take them on a long walk. They were very energetic and eager to get some fresh air and exercise. Everyone on the trip agreed that it felt great to help animals who were waiting to find their forever homes. Thank you so much to the directors of the PAWS program for making this experience possible for us. We hope to go back again soon!
Cookie Basics
Whether you are making them from scratch or using ready-made dough, cookies are fun to bake. Unless the goal is to make one big cookie, you need to how far apart to space them and how many can fit in a row on the cookie sheet. The importance of using gloves, setting the correct oven temperature, wearing oven mitts, and allowing the cookies time to cool are just some of the lessons to be learned in the kitchen. The smell of freshly baked cookies will surely attract many people, so make sure that you have enough to share!
Feeding People and Fostering Compassion
Eva’s Kitchen, located in Paterson, NJ, was founded in 1982 to feed the hungry and working poor. In addition to serving meals to guests in the kitchen, chefs prepare meals for men, women, and children who reside in the recovery and sheltering programs at Eva’s Village. This adds up to 1,300 meals per day. We brought a group of service-minded students and staff to help set tables, serve coffee, and deliver nutritious meals to a large group of people in need. It was a great opportunity for us to begin the New Year with an act of kindness.
Help on Both Ends of the Leash
Over the past eight years, many special puppies and dogs have taken part in PAWS. This little one stole our hearts from the moment we met him. Baby T, a very sweet five-year-old, was timid at first but eventually met everyone and happily accepted treats. Learning how to put dogs at ease and show them kindness is a wonderful experience for our students. We are very grateful to the volunteers who continue to bring the PAWS program to Windsor.
Rockin’ Around the Holidays
We welcomed the holiday season with some amazing talent at the Windsor Arts Center. It was a perfect mix of oldies and contemporary songs that had everyone in the audience tapping their feet and singing along.
Pompton Lakes Holiday Stroll
We had a candy cane raceway, a fun craft station, and so many enthusiastic visitors at the holiday stroll! Mickey Mouse, Olaf, Buzz Light Year, and their friends marched alongside a talented marching band as they paraded down Wanaque Avenue. This annual tradition is such a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season with the Pompton Lakes community.
