Windsor Families,
Just a reminder every year, Windsor Staff partners with Windsor Cares PTA committee to collect gift cards for Windsor families in need. This year, we are collecting until December 16th. The giving globe is set up in the office and students can bring in $10 or $20 gift cards to Marianos, Jewel, Aldi, Target, or Walmart to add to the collection box. Students will also add a sticker to the giving globe. We look forward to filling our giving globe and being able to provide families in need with a little extra this holiday season.
To meet the ABC25 membership goal, Windsor still needs several more families to join. If you are able to, please click this link to join: abc25.org/donate
Just a reminder that we go outside for recess if the air temperature is zero or above, please be sure to send your child(ren) to school with the proper cold weather gear. If your child is missing any of their winter items, be sure to come in and check out the lost and found.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs. Anastacio and Mrs. Soprano

I just celebrated my 20th year here at Windsor School! In the past 20 years, I have taught Kindergarten, 2nd grade, and this is my 8th year in 3rd grade. I love being a Wildcat!
When I was a kid, my dream was to be a writer and a teacher. I feel so lucky that I have fulfilled my dreams, and I share this with my students so they can reach their full potential, too. Many years ago, I graduated from the University of Illinois in Champaign with a degree in Journalism. I worked at PBS, where I wrote, produced, and edited live shows and documentaries. Then I went on to write and edit children’s stories for a publisher in the Chicagoland area. I realized my dream of being a teacher 23 years ago when I earned my Masters in Teaching from National-Louis University. Teaching young children is by far the most rewarding job!
Currently, I live in Mount Prospect with my 3 daughters. My oldest attends UIUC now, and my younger daughters attend Prospect. In my free time, I love to read and spend time with my daughters. I enjoy attending Prospect football games with them, listening to orchestra concerts, cheering during tennis matches, and watching dance performances. I feel so fortunate to be a part of the Windsor community and family!
