Happy Holidays to the Windom Community! Students and staff at Windom Schools have had an amazing first half to the school year. We appreciate your support and wish you the BEST Holiday Season this year!

Beginning January 1, 2023, Windom Area Schools will be partnering with Windom Area Health (WAH) to provide sports medicine services to student athletes during B Squad, JV, and Varsity home games. WAH will provide staff such as a physical therapist, athletic trainer, nurse practitioner, or doctor of medicine to administer first aid and emergency care, taping, injury evaluation, and followup care coordination, if requested. We look forward to partnering with Windom Area Health to provide Sports Medicine Services. This is a HUGE WIN for our student athletes and athletic programs.

The Land, Water,Thrive Green Space Enhancement Toro Grant for $100,000 was awarded to Windom Schools. This grant will be used to replace the bridge in the Environmental Center, clean up the brush, create an outdoor classroom, light the trails, and place benches and picnic tables in the wooded area. In addition, Eagle Path will be making two small permanent docks so that the science classes can collect water samples. THANK YOU to TORO for supporting our schools!
