WP Newsletter 10/13/26

Dear WP Families,

Every day at Winchester-Potters, we see moments worth celebrating: students working through a challenge, showing kindness to a classmate, asking thoughtful questions, and taking pride in something they’ve learned. It’s a joy to watch their confidence grow and see the many ways they contribute to our school community.

Our teachers and staff put so much care and creativity into helping children learn and feel connected. From engaging classroom lessons to the encouragement offered along the way, their dedication shines through every day.

We are proud of our students and grateful for the partnership of our families. Thank you for sharing your children with us and supporting the learning, growth, and moments of joy happening at Win-Pott!

Warmly,
Nicole Ganshaw
Assistant Principal

Does your family need help during the holidays?

As the holiday season approaches, the district is preparing for the Annual Holiday Drive, an initiative designed to support families in our community who may need assistance with food, clothing, gifts, or other essentials during the holidays. If your family would like to receive support, please fill out the Holiday Giving Needs Application by the end of the day Saturday, November 7, 2026. The survey is completely confidential and will only be used to inform the planning team to ensure there is meaningful and appropriate support. Your responses will help determine how best to allocate resources and reach families who could benefit from support.

Please Note: Completing the survey helps us understand your family's needs, but it does not

guarantee that we will be able to provide assistance for every request. We will do our best to

support as many families as our resources allow.

Is your organization looking to donate? Please contact Melissa BrindAmour at mbrindamour@wscschools.org

Complete the Holiday Giving Needs Application by Nov. 7, 2026.
