Two months left of this school year! November and December are busy times with two holiday breaks, our first winter concert, and  some additional field trips for our Elementary students, too. You can find all these details on our website calendar!

Superintendent Matias Segura will join us Monday, 11/3 at 4:00pm in the library to discuss the plan for our school. The school board will be voting on a final consolidations plan and our turnaround plan on November 20. This is an emotional, uncertain time for our community, and I am here to support you, your students, and our staff in anyway I can.

As always, it is my joy to serve your family,

Ms. Bridget

Happy fall, Winn Montessori! We're so glad to have you all in this wonderful community with us.

Do you know a local business that could use some exposure and would like to help our school at the same time?  We could really use the help!  Read more about our business partners program in the program flyer to sign up.  If you have further questions, please reach out to Hannah, our fundraising chair, at fundraising@winnpta.org.

Can you donate to the Annual Fund to help us keep staff morale up in the form of snacks and treats AND support programs like the upcoming Book Fair and the spring Field Day?  Consider a recurring donation to help out for the rest of the school year.  100% of what we raise goes right back to supporting students and staff at our school and EVERY PENNY COUNTS!  Or consider sending a note to your student's favorite staff member OR a RAVE via the district website.  Anything you can do would be great and is all so appreciated!

Has your student outgrown their Winn Montessori shirt or are you looking for one for yourself?  You can buy one online (and maybe a sticker or two to go with it!) and we will deliver it to your student’s backpack.
