Winona News – Dec 17

As we head into the two-week winter break, we would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.  For those families celebrating Christmas, Orthodox Christmas and Kawanza as well as recognizing Zarathosht-no-diso, we wish you a safe and enjoyable recognition and celebration.  A big thank you to families for your ongoing dedication to our school.  Our staff is always appreciative of how supportive families are in terms of working with our school and educators.

Imaginarium: We are excited to announce our plans to create a makerspace in our school library which we will call the Imaginarium. A makerspace fosters innovation through play, hands-on experimentation and open-ended learning. Classes will have the opportunity to drop in at scheduled times to use the Imaginarium. At this time, we are looking for donations of the following items; Lego, Snap Circuits, Cricut Machines, 3D Printers, Robots (Dash, Dot, Sphero, Coding Mouse), and Hair Dressing Tools (mannequin heads, brushes, hair accessories). If you have any of the above items in good working condition that you are willing to donate, please drop them off to the school office. If you have questions about items that can be donated, please contact Mrs. Morningstar ([email protected]), Mrs. Frid ([email protected]), or Mr. Ahmad ([email protected]).
