Special Drive Benefits Tomorrows Children’s Fund

Posted on November 28, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

We sponsored a cartoon band-aid and craft supply drive for the children at Hackensack Hospital. As an added twist, some staff members bravely volunteered to be pied by the Windsor Wildcat in support of this cause. With every donation, contributors had the chance to vote for whichever person they wished to see pied.  It was very exciting to watch the pile of boxes grow each day. Before Thanksgiving break, we held a school-wide assembly to celebrate the end of this successful drive and reveal the staff members who received the most votes. In total, the Windsor community collected 386 items!

Helping a Friend in Need

Posted on November 4, 2019 by - Windsor School

Our friends at Shepherd’s Haven said they could use some help cleaning up their lawn.  We gathered a group of service-minded students, grabbed a pile of rakes and gloves and headed on over.  It was a beautiful day to get together and come to the aid of a very special group of people.

Learning Life Saving Skills

Posted on November 1, 2019 by - Windsor School

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.

Developing Trust and Communication

Posted on October 18, 2019 by - Windsor School

Finding the courage to believe in yourself and to trust someone else is not easy.  During a recent trip to the New Weis Center, we participated in team building activities, walked in the woods,  and searched for tiny creatures. It was a day full of wonderful discoveries.

Focusing on Respect

Posted on October 7, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

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.

A Taste of Independence

Posted on September 26, 2019 by - Uncategorized, Windsor School

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!

A New Perspective in Photography

Posted on September 23, 2019 by - Windsor School

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.

A New Year and a Fresh Start

Posted on September 5, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

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.

Dog Days of Summer

Posted on August 13, 2019 by - Windsor Learning Center, Windsor School

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.
