Win Ferguson Elementary

 
The Super Spring Spell-A-Thon has been a tremendous success!
With hard work and outstanding effort, our students raised over $22,000!!!!
This remarkable accomplishment is due to the overwhelming support our students received from all of our Win Ferguson families, friends and neighbors.
The WFG PTA would like to thank everyone for the incredible commitment and contributions made to our students and our school during this fundraising event.
 
 

We are very pleased to announce that “The Leader in Me” student leadership initiative is coming to Win Ferguson School!

We are looking for sponsors or donations to support this great initiative.  If you are able to support us financially, please contact the school  office.

In light of the Newtown tragedy, we ask parents NOT to proceed into the school unless you have checked in with the secretaries in the office and are wearing a Win Ferguson Visitor Tag. This applies for all hours of the day, including pick-up and drop-off.

If we continue to have parents walking through the halls without tags, we will have no alternative but to have parents wait outside for students at pick-up and drop-off. Thank you for your cooperation.

Win Ferguson Community School has a tradition of excellence in all of its programming. Our dedicated staff works diligently to ensure the needs of all students are met. This is a tradition we are extremely proud of. In addition to an exemplary staff and student body, we are fortunate to have a committed group of outstanding parents and community members who support our school programs and activities.

There are many wonderful and exciting learning opportunities that take place throughout the school year. From Opening Day to our Year-end Celebration, these activities promote lifelong learning in an environment that is both supported and nurtured by our learning community.

We believe the education of our students is best achieved by a team approach that includes the child, the home and the school. The development and maintenance of this partnership is truly vital. We look forward to working together in the best interests of each one of our students. We understand that our children are society's most precious resource.

We are very proud to be "The School that SHINES!"

Have a wonderful year!
