Winstead's Got Talent
Winstead Families come together for a very special night. The school talent show is a great way for students to perform and shine. 5th grade students can get involved in several ways that night in addition to performing in the talent show by trying out for Talent Show Emcee or helping backstage. More information here.
Wildcats On The Run
Wildcats On The Run is a fundraiser geared toward health and wellness. Students will run, jog, or walk around the track and complete “obstacles or stations” that have been created by Coach K & Coach Whipple. Did we mention there would be color powder thrown as they pass through stations on the track?
This year our celebratory color run event is going to be combined with Field Day! It will most certainly be a busy day packed with tons of fun. There will be a variety of events, games, and competitions for all to enjoy. Volunteers are needed to help organize and coordinate both before the event and the day of the event. More information here.
5th Grade Car Wash
The 5th Grade Car Wash is an avenue used to raise money for the 5th Grade end of the year celebration and gift to school. Cars are washed for a donation. It is not a professional car wash and donations are accepted for those that want to help but would rather not have their car washed. All money raised/donated goes directly to the 5th grade fund.
5th Grade Promotion
Fourth grade parents organize and coordinate a night to celebrate the 5th grade class and their time at Winstead. The night includes a slide show, speech presentations and a cupcake reception. It is just a little something sweet to show the 5th graders how proud we are of them.
Staff Appreciation Week
Staff Appreciation week is a week that we take to show the school staff how thankful we are for all they do. It is a week full of food, fun, and celebrating. Volunteers are needed every day to make this the special week the staff deserves.
