Winter Clothing Drive
The SGA is running a winter weather clothing drive.  Please bring in any hats, gloves, and jackets that you no longer need.  We will be donating them to students and families in need.  Let's keep everyone warm this winter!  You can donate your items into the boxes in the cafeteria.  If you have questions, please see Ms. DeBoy or Ms. Shiffman.  Thanks for donating!
CHURCHILL CLUSTER NEWS!
The first weekend in February is a busy one at Winston Churchill High School!  Please join us!  We have two big events coming up for our community.  

  1. On February 1 - Winter-Basketball community night! A night for our Churchill cluster families. Kids get in free and there are games & prizes. Click flyer for more info. 
  2. On February 2 we have our annual Booster Club sports gala - a parents only event that celebrates our student-athletes and is one of the largest fundraising efforts for Churchill Athletics.  As you may know, our high school athletics program is funded only about 25% by the county.  The rest is raised through the school athletic events and through Boosters.  This is a fun and totally casual night.  Click flyer for more info
