Taco Tuesday
October is National Principal Appreciation Month and to show his gratitude, Superintendent Dr. Mills provided lunch for our 26 Rock Star Principals at their monthly meeting on Oct. 23. The principals were grateful to Dr. Mills and enjoyed
their meal on Taco Tuesday from one of our local food trucks - Taqueria El Primo.
Early Christmas
Shout Out! to Vance Charter School for its donation to Winstead ES! A teacher at Vance Charter, Ms. Pegram, is friends with Winstead Third-grade Teacher Ms. Parker and wanted to support her in her first year of teaching. Ms. Pegram led her school in donating items to all of Ms. Parker’s students. It was like Christmas for the class when the items arrived!
