Pi Day came early at Winsor! 🥧
Since March 14 falls during spring break, Chef Heather and her team bring the tradition to Winsor a little early each year. Students enjoyed an assortment of pies, from blueberry and apple-cranberry to lemon meringue and cookies and cream. A big thank you to Chef Heather, her team, and our Parents’ Association volunteers for making this sweet tradition possible!

The votes are in, so what comes next? 🗳️ On Friday, Classes III–VIII gathered at assembly for a special current events panel on the midterm elections.
Harvard government professor Eric Beerbohm, Emmy Award–winning WCVB reporter Arielle Mitropoulos ‘15, and South Dakota State Representative and former Winsor Science Faculty Nicole Uhre-Balk each brought a different perspective. They talked about what voters cared about, how the media shapes our view of elections, and what the results could mean for the work ahead. Thank you to our panelists for a great conversation, and welcome back, Arielle and Nicole!

Our astronomy students got an up-close look at the sun last week! ☀️🔭
In Mr. Brooks Hedstrom’s class, they compared telescope eyepieces to see how magnification changes the view, from the whole sun to a close-up of the details. A special H-alpha filter also let them spot solar prominences, giant loops of glowing gas rising off the sun’s edge.
