Winston Preparatory School       November 19th, 2010

Greetings!

Students enjoyed a presentation on Wednesday from WPS CFO, Dan Degnan titled, "An Amateur's Guide to Writing". Students learned about various types of writing and strategies to become a more proficient writer. In addition, Dan reviewed the 'elements to a good sentence'. Students have been asked to submit a 'beautiful sentence' to Dan and he will choose the winning sentence.

As a reminder, there will be no school starting Wednesday, November 24th through Friday, November 26th in celebration of Thanksgiving Break. Classes will resume on Monday, November 29th.

We will be having our 4th Annual Faculty/Student Football Thanksgiving Kick-off on Tuesday during 8th period.  Parents are welcome to watch!

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Thanksgiving!

Warm Regards,
Monika Shah

'Helping Hands' Food Drive


We would like to say thank you to the WPS community for providing 218 pounds of food for the Stamford Food Bank! Ms. Baggott and students delivered and distributed yesterday. All are most appreciative with students noticing how low supplies are and planning another drive for next month. We'll also be sharing information about the Person to Person Clothing Srive and fundraiser for Safe House in Bridgeport. Details to follow! Thank you again for your generosity!
Winter Game Night &
Parent Social
 

Friday, December 3rd
7:00 pm
WPS Gym

We hope all students can attend as this is one event they don't want to miss!  Dave's Cast & Characters will be providing similar games as last year and our favorite DJ will be providing music and interactive activities.

In addition, parents are invited to attend a 'Parent Social' in Cat Hall.

In order to ensure student supervision in the gym and allow all parents to attend a portion of the 'Parent Social' in Cat Hall,
we really need your help!!!

We are asking for parent volunteers to chaperone
a 30 minute shift in the gym.

Please click on the link below to specify which time would work best for you. If you cannot chaperone, we are also taking food donations.
