From Mrs. Hubbard, Principal

Diversity is the theme of the month for January at Governor Winslow School. Students have learned that people are different in many ways and that these differences make our school community special. Diversity is also about making sure that everyone feels welcome and included. Please keep this in mind as we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
