Message from Ms. Bridget

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

All current families should complete their enrollment application for next school year starting Wednesday, November 6. Zoned students will be guaranteed a seat, but transfer students will only be confirmed a seat if they complete their Intent to Enroll during priority registration. Please call the front office if you need support!

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

Ms. Bridget

Hello, Winn Montessori families! We are having the best time connecting with all of you at our fall events. Thank you to everyone who attended movie night and continues to come to our monthly playdates and garden days. We love building a strong community with you at Winn.

We are still working hard to raise money to fund the great programs at our school via our Annual Fund. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider doing so (and making it recurring!). We are just over 20% to our goal for the year and have a ways to go to be able to make some big purchases like t-shirts for all students ($3500) and the holiday Book Gift-Away ($1500). We can’t move forward with those programs without your help. You can donate online OR with cash/check in the front office. And be sure to send the link to your family members as a great way to support your student’s experience at Winn! If you have any questions, please reach out to president@winnpta.org. Every penny counts!

To learn more about who PTA is and what we do at Winn Montessori, check out our webpage. Consider joining the PTA and donating to the Annual Fund to support great events and programs that benefit the students and staff at our school. We can’t do what we do without your support. Every penny counts!

And as always, keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram accounts for more from the PTA.
