Wishing all of our Winskill students, teachers, staff and families a wonderful first week of school! 💙💛

Here’s to a year of growth - learning more, working hard, choosing kindness, and growing into even better students and friends.

Friends of Winskill loved adding a little extra fun to the start of the year with the Card My Yard Kieler - WI outdoor welcome yard sign, and a big thank you to Celebration Station LLC for the beautiful indoor balloon décor and photo backdrops!

Have a great first week! 💙💛

Friends of Winskill was happy to leave a big table of treats to welcome our teachers back! 💙💛

As we walked the halls, it was so special to see the beautiful ways teachers are getting ready for students. From classroom touches to welcoming spaces, they do so much to help children feel excited and right at home.

We are so grateful for the care Winskill teachers put into making school feel so special for our kids, and we hope the treats made this busy prep time a little sweeter!

Help Friends of Winskill Stock the Classrooms!

Winskill families may have noticed the orange Back-to-School flyer that recently arrived with school supply information for the 2026–27 school year.

We’re excited that Friends of Winskill is once again able to provide funding for many of the additional classroom supplies our students will need this year!

We’d also love some help from our amazing Winskill community! We are collecting donations of:

🧻 Kleenex
🧼 Lysol/disinfecting wipes

These items will be donated to Winskill classrooms to help teachers and students start the year stocked and ready.

Donations can be dropped off at Winskill anytime, or brought along to the Back to School Bash on Wednesday, August 26!

This is completely a Friends of Winskill donation drive; our school isn’t asking families to provide these items. We simply know how generous our community is and wanted to give anyone who would like to contribute an easy way to help.

Thank you for always helping us support our students, teachers, and classrooms. We’re so excited for another great year at Winskill!

The last week of school always carries a little magic.

The countdowns, the excitement, the running through the fields with friends, freezies melting too fast, laughter echoing across the playground, and the feeling that summer has officially begun. Field Day at Winskill was full of all those moments, and the weather could not have been more perfect for a day of outdoor games, smiles, and fun for our students.

Thank you to the many businesses and community partners who helped make this special day possible for our kids:

Grant Regional Health Center
Peoples State Bank
TC Networks
Sweet-Hill Electric, LLC
J & N Stone LLC
Southwest Accounting
Backroad Bar
Wolf's Grantland Graphics
Larry's Welding & Mfg., Inc.
Amcor Packaging
Rural Mutual Insurance: Ragatz & Doll Insurance Group
CM Solutions

Your support helps create the kinds of childhood memories students carry with them long after elementary school ends.

Wishing all of our Winskill students, staff, and families a safe, joyful, and memory-filled summer! 💙💛
