Winston Families, Students, and Staff,  

As we approach the final week and a half of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on what an incredible year it has been for our school community. Together, we have celebrated growth, perseverance, and so many meaningful accomplishments.

This last stretch of the year is an important one. Attendance continues to matter as students wrap up final projects, participate in culminating activities, and build lasting memories with their peers and teachers. Every day counts, and we encourage all students to finish strong.

We’ve already begun to see some of the joy that makes this time of year so special. Our recent talent show was a wonderful celebration of creativity and courage. Our students truly shined on stage, and it was a reminder of the many gifts they bring to our community. We’re also proud of our softball team as they played their final game of the season. Their teamwork, dedication, and school spirit have been inspiring to watch.

As we close out this school year, we are filled with gratitude for our students, families, and staff who make this community so special. We are excited for the summer ahead, with time to rest, recharge, and enjoy well-deserved breaks. At the same time, we are already looking forward to the fall and all the new opportunities it will bring.

Thank you for being such an important part of this school community. Let’s make these final days meaningful and memorable.

Warmly,



Kelsey Garrison

Principal

A heartfelt thank you to our incredible Parent Association for making last week's Staff Appreciation Week so special! From the delicious breakfasts and lunches to the sweet treats, thoughtful gift cards, relaxing massages, and amazing swag bags—you truly went above and beyond. We are so grateful for your generosity and support!

Today we cheered on our athletes at their final softball game of the season! This special matchup was more than just a game—it was a celebration of dedication, teamwork, and an incredible group of graduating seniors who have left their mark on our program. We’re so proud of their hard work, leadership, and lasting contributions to the team. Go Bulldogs! 🥎
