Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly
October 31, 2025
Hello Winter Hill families,
I want to give a huge Wildcat ROAR to our amazing PTA for the wonderful International Potluck dinner on Tuesday evening. Our community came together to share dishes from around the world, share each other's cultures, and win some great prizes. It was truly a wonderful event! See below for lots of pictures.
The week of November 17th, we will be conducting a Lockdown Safety drill that involves all students and staff members at our school. We will be working in collaboration with the Somerville Police Department and the Somerville Fire Department, and anticipate the drill will take no more than 20 minutes. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the building during this drill. We will send out another reminder as the date gets closer, but please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
For those of you who celebrate Halloween, I hope you have a safe and fun evening tonight. Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Principal Gosselin
