Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly

Hello Winter Hill,

We had another wonderful week at Winter Hill - the snow has melted and the warmer temperatures brought the first glimmers of spring. Please be sure to take the Conditions for Learning Survey (linked below) and check out the fun events the PTA has planned for this month. We look forward to seeing you this Thursday at conferences.

Sincerely,

Principal Gosselin

Are you passionate about our school community and want to make a difference?

The Winter Hill Community Innovation School's Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is looking for dedicated volunteers to step into leadership roles for the 2026/2027 school year.

If you are a PTA member, and would like to join the team of volunteers that make the PTA run, please consider joining the PTA board, no prior experience is needed! Our current team will provide guidance and support as you step into a volunteer role, and we will work with your availability and interests!

PTA leadership allows you to:

✔️ Have a Voice – Help shape decisions that impact students, teachers, and families.
✔️ Build Community – Connect with other engaged parents and school staff.
✔️ Make an Impact – Support programs and initiatives that benefit our school community

We have a few officer positions open and would love to find the right fit for interested volunteers. We are hoping to have a broad group of parents, teachers, and other community members so that you can work on events or areas that interest you, and we can continue to get stronger together.

If you’d like to learn more (with no pressure to commit!), reach out to Nominating Committee Chair & WHCIS parent, Bev Feldman, at nominations@winterhillpta.org by Wednesday, March 25.
