Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly

Happy December Winter Hill,

What a wonderful day for two amazing concerts! Our K - 8 students performed in two concerts, that highlighted all of the amazing work that Ms. Stier has been doing with them throughout the year.

The colder weather is here! Please ensure that your child has a coat, hat, and gloves as we do outside until the "feels like" temperature drops below 17 degrees.

Our last day of school before the winter break is Tuesday, December 23rd. Students in K - 8 are dismissed at 12 and PK is dismissed at 11:30. For spirit week:

Monday, December 22nd - Have fun and wear festive socks

Tuesday, December 23rd - Get comfy and cozy and wear pajamas / comfy clothes and bring a stuffy

On behalf of the entire Winter Hill community, I want to thank our amazing PTA for all of the support they have provided to us. From snacks on parent-teacher conference night to donations of tissue, paper towels, and sanitizing wipes, we appreciate all that you!

Sincerely,

Principal Gosselin

Thank you to all the teachers who made the trivia night happen!

What a big win for the fundraiser! Huge thanks to our entire Wildcat community for showing up, spreading the word, and supporting the Winter Hill PTA in our Celtics basketball raffle. Every ticket purchased, every share, and every cheer helped make this a big win for our students.

And the best part? We hit 103% of our fundraising goal! 🎉

Because of you, we’re able to bring more joy, resources, and opportunities to our Wildcats and we couldn’t do it without this incredible community. Thank you for your generosity, your spirit, and your Wildcat pride!

On Tuesday night, some of our Winter Hill teachers took over Aeronaut Trivia with a Back to School theme. Since they already love playing trivia there, they turned their favorite weekly outing into a fun way to raise money for the school, and it was a wonderful success! The PTA jumped in to support the night and collected donations.

Thank you to the trivia community who donated and to our teachers for their creativity and commitment. We are grateful for this community and the joy you bring to our Wildcats!

We’re sad to share that Daddy Jones, the beloved Greek restaurant in Magoun Square, will be closing on December 20th after 13 wonderful years. Over the years, Daddy Jones has been an incredibly generous supporter of Winter Hill, showing up for our school by hosting fundraisers like Musical Bingo and Wednesday PTA Nights.

Their warmth, great food, and unwavering commitment to community have touched so many Winter Hill families. As they close this chapter, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for all the joy, support, and community spirit they’ve shared with our students, families, and PTA.
