Dear Windsong Ranch Families,
Join us as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week this week! Throughout the week, we will highlight the importance of making healthy choices, staying drug-free, and taking care of our minds and bodies. Check out the dress up days!
Mark your calendars! Our annual Trunk or Treat will take place in the parking lot next to the Windsong Park (big playground) this Thursday, 10/29, from 5 - 6:30pm. Bring the family for decorated trunks, treats, and fun!
Please note that costumes are not permitted at school during regular school hours. We ask that students save their costumes for our evening Trunk or Treat event or celebrations at home. Thank you for your cooperation in keeping school days focused on learning!

Veterans Day Celebration
We are excited to welcome our local heroes for our annual Veterans Day Parade. We know many of our families wish to attend the event at Rushing, which is scheduled for 8:30 AM, so we have pushed our parade start time back to 9:30 AM to allow everyone the chance to participate in both celebrations. If you are planning to walk in the parade, please sign up using this Verkada link.
We will also be creating a slideshow to celebrate our Veterans. Please send a photo of your service member to Holly Gadberry by Friday, November 6th and include the following:
- name, branch, and rank of service member
- student's name and relation
- teacher's name
If you submitted your photo last year, please confirm with Ms. Holly that we have it and can use that one again this year.
