Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly
January 16, 2026
Principal's Message
Hello Winter Hill,
I want to give a huge Wildcat ROAR to all of our amazing students who showcased their wonderful talents at the Talent Show last night. Students sang, danced, did magic tricks, lipsynced, and made us laugh throughout the entire show. A special Wildcat ROAR to Ms. Jenn and Ms. Melissa for bringing this tradition back to our community.
Please see below for an invitation to a coffee hour with Superintendent Carmona and Mayor Wilson to discuss the new building project.
Reminder: There is no school on Monday in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Have a great, long weekend!
Sincerely,
Principal Gosselin
Coffee Hour
You are invited to join Mayor Jake Wilson, Superintendent Rubén Carmona, and City of Somerville staff in the Winter Hill at Edgerly cafeteria on Tuesday, February 3 at 8:20am for a special Coffee Hour and discussion on the New School Building Project.
This gathering will provide an overview of progress and next steps towards the creation of a new school building for the Winter Hill Community Innovation School. You will also have opportunities to share your perspectives, ask questions, and offer feedback on the project and priorities for our schools.
Please join us for coffee, pastries, and conversation. For those unable to attend, future meetings including virtual and evening sessions, are in the works and will be announced as they are scheduled.
We look forward to seeing you on February 3.
