Hello Winter Hill,


This Thursday, we had our whole school event - the Winter Hill Steppers performed followed by the staff-student volleyball game. Congratulations to the students who won this year! See below for great pictures from the event.


Reminder that next week is April vacation. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, April 27th!


Sincerely,

Principal Gosselin

Help Bring the Wildcat Murals to Life 🐾

This spring, our 8th grade students are leading a civics and arts project to bring pride and identity to the Edgerly building through student-designed murals, handprint walls with younger grades, and a “Home of the Wildcats” presence throughout the school.

We received some grant funding, though less than requested, so we are moving forward with a focused plan and relying on community support to make it happen.

We are looking for volunteers to help with painting on a few Wednesdays in late April and May, likely from 9:15 to 10:35 am. We will also need help with setup, coordination, and catering for the May 21 unveiling event.


If you are able to help, please email the PTA at winterhillpta@gmail.com. This is a great opportunity to support our students and help make Edgerly feel like home.
