This Week at Windsor...

June 2026

Windsor Families,

It was a great year at Windsor School!

What a wonderful and eventful week! From K–2 Fun in the Sun and the 3–5 trip to Camelot Park to our special 5th Grade Breakfast, students enjoyed many memorable end-of-year celebrations.

Today, our teachers took center stage by presenting the morning announcements live during our End-of-the-Year Assembly! Students had a blast watching their teachers compete in cup stacking challenges, participate in a singing competition, and show off their dancing skills.

Students also participated in yearbook signing and the 5th Grade Parade. We are so proud of our 5th graders and wish them nothing but success as they begin their middle school journey. Remember, once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat! We can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish. Be sure to come back and visit! Also, a big thank you to the 5th grade class for their gift of a bench to be put in our courtyard!

Be sure to be on the lookout for back to school information in August!

Have a wonderful summer,

Mrs. Anastacio and Mrs. Soprano
