Popsicles with the Principal a big hit at Windham Primary School - By Michelle Libby

Primary school students were invited to the school last Thursday for popsicles with Principal Kyle Rhoads on the new playground behind the school. This made the seventh year the event has taken place to give the children a way to get familiar with the school and some of the teachers.

“When I joined primary, I wanted to have a way to introduce myself to families in a less formal way than just the school year starting. Having fun on the playgrounds and sharing popsicles seemed like a good fit!” Rhoads said.

There’s no official tally on how many students attended the outing, but Rhoads said that “It is the most popsicles that we went through in recent memories.”

This year the students were able to use the new part of the playground and see the playground construction workers actually working on the second phase of the playground as the students played on the completed part. Rhoads also mentioned that it was neat to see former students of WPS coming and being part of the event.
