Please note the schedule update. Our upcoming PTA Community Meeting is on Friday April 4, at 9am.

We will review the structure of the PTA, volunteering opportunities of varying commitments, and positions we are hoping to fill for the 2025-2026 school year. This is a great opportunity to learn a bit more about what the PTA is and how we support the students, the school, and the community! If you’ve wanted to get involved but have been unsure how it might fit in your schedule, we’d love to brainstorm with you.

Winn Brook’s annual food drive will run March 31st through April 4th.  Please drop off your nonperishable (and non-expired!) food and household items to support the Belmont Food Pantry. Donation boxes will be set up outside each classroom as well as outside the main office.

We are delighted to prepare for the spring session of the popular PTA Extracurriculars program! This program provides an opportunity for Winn Brook students of all grades and interests to enjoy low-key, non-graded classes either before or after the school day. The program is coordinated by PTA volunteers and all funds generated go directly to the PTA to support school priorities.

The Chenery Upper Elementary school is rebuilding the PTO executive board as current members move up to BMS in the 2025/26 school year. Learn more about how the PTO supports our teachers and students through the evolution of the new CUE. Meet awesome new people in the CUE community!

Enjoy coffee, tea and pastries at Lindsay Kalmakis' house. Lindsay is a former Wellington PTO co-President who currently has a 5th grader at the CUE, along with a 7th grader at BMS and rising Wellington kindergartener in 2025/26. 

Please email Lindsay at lindsay.kalmakis@gmail.com for details. We hope to see you there! 

We are assembling a yearbook for our third graders that will include photos of our students from school events over the last 4 years. These parent-submitted photos will complement the formal school portraits from Hayward Photography. Please use this form to share Winn Brook photos of your third graders and their classmates by TODAY, Friday, March 21. Thanks for your help making this special memory book for our children! 

Winn Brook Skate Night 2025 was a huge success!  Thanks to everyone who joined us for the fun.  Any photos for the 3rd grade yearbook can be uploaded here. We hope to see many of you next year!

A big thank you to our Skate Night Chair and all volunteers for organizing such a wonderful night!

Thank you to STEM Night chair Katy Yang, and all of the volunteers who helped set up, run demos, and clean up. Kids were enthralled at each station - learning about pollination, acids/bases, optical illusions, chemical reactions, 3-D printer demonstration, rubik's cube solving robot, polymers, density, and more! Additional thank you to Eversource’s “Pedal Power” demo. Again, please upload photos for the 3rd grade yearbook here.

You can view many more photos here.

In the midst of parent-teacher conference season, in the middle of a contract negotiation year, it feels important to bring extra joy to Winn Brook staff. Thank you to Staff Appreciation co-chair Danielle Harrell for organizing a delicious lunch spread from La Victoria for staff to feel energized going into their afternoon meetings. She could barely finish setting up before excited staff started digging in. Please enjoy this AI generated image of fictional Winn Brook staff at a Taco Fiesta in a hallway somewhere. Real Winn Brook staff had similar smiles! Ms. LaMontagne told us "I have never seen the staff room as packed as it was these past two days—to say the luncheon was a hit would be an understatement."

Local elections will be held on April 1st for Town Moderator, Select Board, Town Clerk, Board of Cemetery Commissioners, Board of Health, Members of the Housing Authority, Trustees of the Public Library, Municipal Light Board, and School Committee.

Belmont High School's UNICEF club is thrilled to invite you and your family to our upcoming fundraising event, Family Fun Night! Join us on April 3rd, 4:00-7:30 pm at the Belmont High School Cafeteria for a fun-filled evening for all ages. This fair-like event will feature a wide range of interactive and educational booths run by our club members, including slime making, henna, a bake sale, and an exciting raffle. With free admission, this event provides a perfect opportunity for families to come together and enjoy quality time while supporting a great cause. We do recommend cash donations to support our cause, and our bake sale and raffle will only accept cash. We can't wait to see you there for a night of family fun and meaningful fundraising for UNICEF!
