Willowwind encourages its families to be active participants in the school community. We teach our students that everyone is an important part of our community and that we all have something to contribute. For some, participation might be making a financial gift and for others it will be volunteerin...

Check out these exerpts from the old staff notebooks that were used to log school activities, student permissions, event planning, and more. Most entries were routine, some were comical, a few were just confusing, but all give a peek into what what life at Willowwind was like way back when.

We are beyond proud!

WOW! Willowwinders have outdone themselves on the literary front. This year, we are bursting with pride as we celebrate eleven students whose original writing is being recognized at the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature's One Book Two Book festival later this month.

Congratulations to Jasper H.(3) and Grayson H.(6) whose work was selected in the Write Stuff category, and to Vance V.(2), Cohen M.(3), Max B-M.(4), Emma Y.(5), and Zariah J.(6) whose work was selected in the From the Heart category. Last but not least, congratulations to Anna B.(2), Edie S.(3), Rowan E-L(4), and Molly N.(6).

A big THANK YOU to all of our incredible teachers. From our preschool and kindergarten teachers who build foundational literacy skills, to our 5th/6th grade teachers who help their students refine and elevate their writing, we are grateful for all that you do to support these young writers.
