Winchendon - One World!

On Thursday in morning meeting, I noted after the excitement of a victory that the starting five on the Women’s Varsity Basketball Team was truly reflective of the Winch in that there are three continents (Africa, Asia and North America) represented. It is even more impressive that it is four different countries with just five players.

This evening however, Mr. McDonald noted that the Men’s Varsity B starting five were just as diverse or even more with a Puerto Rican, Lithuanian, African American, Chinese and Taiwanese taking the court to start each game. While this isn’t a competition, I do find that it represents the best of students working with students of all different background, collaborating to win! It’s a great thing.

While on the subject of our global Winchendon, I wanted to congratulate Bianca on her winning submission for WOW – Winchendon –One World. As announced on Tuesday, Bianca won an Apple I-Touch.

There were wonderful submissions for this challenge, and the judges struggled with the decision. I do want to note that Chastity contributed a wonderful statement that really catches the essence of what we are doing:

Winchendon One World

Working together to make the world a better place!

Thanks to all for the wonderful entries and creative thought.
