Winifred School is participating in the Farm to Fork program. This program allows the school to bring local, better quality meat to the table for our kids. The school is able to accept local beef or pork and the animals donated must be in good health and meet the standards for this program. Donations can be accomplished two ways. An animal can be donated for slaughter, or you may choose to pay for a cutting and wrapping. The school will need approximately four beef and two pigs per school year for current amount of students enrolled. A tax write-off may be available for donors, but please consult a tax advisor for more information. If you are interested in donating, please contact Rani Hawks or Chad Fordyce for further assistance at 462-5420.
Winifred School has some items left over from the obsolete property sale that are still available for purchase. Please contact the school for additional information. 406-462-5420
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns about the Homecoming cross-dress day. We understand that the current political environment can raise questions about certain events, and we appreciate you taking the time to express your thoughts.
In late August the student council voted on the Homecoming Spirit Week activities that they believe align with the tradition and spirit of fun that homecoming is meant to represent. The cross-dress day was intended to be a fun, voluntary activity where students can express themselves creatively. It was not meant to make a political statement but to encourage individuality and school spirit.
Winifred School District acknowledges that, given the current political climate, this event may be perceived by some as insensitive. However, as a public institution, it is our responsibility to remain apolitical. Our intent is not to politicize the event, but rather to foster individuality, inclusivity, and school spirit.
In conversations with our student council representatives and administration, the decision has been made to change the day to “Opposite Day/Hawaiian Day”. We greatly appreciate healthy discourse and I hope that we can all use this as a means to further unify and oppose the division that the current political climate drives.
The student council and school administration are committed to ensuring that all homecoming activities are conducted in a way that promotes a positive experience for everyone. Participation is entirely optional, and students are free to engage in ways that feel comfortable for them.
We value your input and are happy to discuss this further. If you have additional concerns or ideas, please feel free to reach out to Mr. Fordyce. Thank you again for your feedback. We’re excited about homecoming and are working to ensure it’s a memorable and fun week for all students.
