April 21, 22, and 23, 2014: Windermere Restaurant Nights at Panzera's. If you get carry-out pizza, 15% of sales will go to the Windermere PTO. Please note that only the Panzera's in UA (corner of Fairlington and Fishinger) will be participating. A flyer will come home on Monday.


April 22, 2014: Earth Day - To celebrate Earth Day at Windermere, we are going to try to reduce our lunch trash. There are three ways you and your family can help.
1. If students pack a lunch, use earth-friendly containers so plastic bags or other trash does not need to be thrown away.
2. We will recycle other items in addition to plastic milk containers that we usually recycle at lunch.
3. Compost! If students have an apple core, banana peel, or other fruit/vegetable that is not eaten at lunch, we will have a bin to compost those items.
4. Wear blue and green (Windermere and Earth colors)!
Our goal is to reduce the trash we produce at lunch so less of our lunch trash is going to a landfill. Our lunch trash weighed 79 pounds when we weighed it one day this week. Let's reduce our lunch trash in honor of Earth Day!
