Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly
December 19, 2025
Happy Holidays Winter Hill,
It is hard to believe that we just finished our last full week of school of 2025! Our last day of school before the winter break is Tuesday, December 23rd.
On Tuesday, 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
I wish our entire community a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. We all look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, January 5th.
Sincerely,
Principal Gosselin
