Prom Was Out of This World! 🚀🌌

Last week’s prom truly launched us into another galaxy! With the theme “Out of This World,” students arrived ready to shine brighter than the stars. From a delicious dinner to a DJ spinning the hottest tracks, the night was packed with cosmic vibes and amazing memories.

The game truck and photo booth were major hits—and let’s not forget the stellar style everyone brought to the dance floor. A huge THANK YOU to the parents who helped with set up, student council for planning am amazing event, and the students and chaperones who attended. 🌠🪩✨

Dear Winston Students, Families, and Staff,

Next week is our final week of school, and I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you.

This year has been filled with growth, learning, and memorable moments. Our students have demonstrated resilience, curiosity, and kindness, making us all proud. Our dedicated teachers and staff have gone above and beyond to create a nurturing and inspiring environment, and our families have been steadfast partners in supporting student success.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our school. Together, we have built a strong, caring community where every child can thrive.

As we look forward to a well-deserved summer break, I encourage everyone to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with loved ones. We are thrilled to have many students joining us for summer school to continue building upon their foundational skills and stay connected with students and staff. We are also excited for the opportunities and adventures that the new school year will bring.

Wishing you all a safe, joyful, and restful summer!

With gratitude,

Kelsey Garrison

Principal
