Windom Area Schools

4th Quarter starts tomorrow! Before we begin the last quarter of the 25-26 school year, let's take a moment to look back and celebrate some amazing High School Students of the Week from Quarter 3!

Hello, my name is Gracie Buckentin, and I am currently seeking donations to support a project that holds great significance to me as I work toward my Eagle Achievement. My goal is to create weighted stuffed animals to donate to the Windom Ambulance Squad. These items can help reduce anxiety and stress by providing gentle, comforting pressure, similar to a hug. They will be given to children during emergency situations to offer comfort in moments of fear and uncertainty.

Each stuffed animal costs approximately $20 to make, and all donations will go directly toward purchasing the materials and supplies needed for this project. I will also be working with the 6th-grade FACS class, who will help in creating and sewing the stuffed animals together.

Any financial contribution would be greatly appreciated. If you would prefer to donate materials or supplies, please feel free to contact me at 26gbuckentin@isd177.com.

Thank you so much for helping bring comfort and support to children in our community!

Tomorrow, March 16, Windom Area Schools will be closed due to inclement weather. This is not an E-Learning Day, but rather a Good Old Fashion Snow Day for students! All after-school activities will be postponed.
