A fun evening of music awaits! Sean Gaskell will play songs on the kora, a 21-stringed West African harp. He studied under the extensive instruction of Moriba Kuyateh and the late Malamini Jobarteh in Gambia, and both Youssoupha Cissokho and Mamadou Cissokho in Senegal. The kora is traditionally played by oral historians known as Griots. Many songs featured on the kora preserve an 800-year history dating back to the founding of the Mande empire. Sponsored by Windsor Library Association.

Windsor Historical Society

Three homeschool programs promoting active learning to be held at Windsor Historical Society this fall for students ages 10-14. 
The first program, For the Common Good, to be held on September 29, 1:30-3:00 p.m., will reflect on the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness laid out in the Declaration of Independence. By reading the Declaration and exploring the Historical Society’s exhibit, For the Common Good: 250 Years of Windsor Civic Life, students will contemplate how our interpretation of these rights has evolved, learn how people in Windsor have worked to protect them, and discuss what they can do today. 
 
Windsor Witch Trials,
held on October 6, 1:30-3:00 p.m., will examine the stories of Alice Young and Lydia Gilbert of Windsor, who were executed for witchcraft decades before Salem. This program investigates the cases brought against Young and Gilbert, the societal structures that led to these accusations, and discusses how the witch trials ended in Connecticut. Students will reflect on who is, and who is not, granted acceptance in society and why, more than 350 years later, a group of citizens set out to right this ancient wrong. 
The final program, Cemetery Secrets, on October 20, 1:30-3:00 p.m., teaches students how to extract information about the past from a cemetery: the age of a town, the things people believed, what they valued, how they died, and so much more. Students will learn to identify headstones from their material and imagery, decode the meaning behind common symbols, and piece together parts of Windsor history from stories set in stone. 
 
Spots for these programs are limited. Pre-registration is encouraged at <a href="https://www.windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.windsorhistoricalsociety.org/events</a> /. $10 per student per program.

Any adult who has helped a learner—formally or informally—has access to two useful voices: a “Teacher Voice” that provides instruction, information, and sometimes step-by-step directions, and an “Executive Function Coach Voice” that invites thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership.
Both are important. The key is knowing which voice the learner needs in the moment — when to step in with direction and when to step back and make room for&nbsp;thinking.
Join Cognition and Learning Teacher and Executive Function Coach Robyn Greenspan, Cognition and Learning Head of Department Brittany Bloom-Price, and Director of Cognition and Learning Dr. Kristin Simmers as they share research-informed strategies that work for learners of all ages, with a&nbsp;focus&nbsp;on:
<ul><li>A clear, plain-language understanding of executive function&nbsp;coaching</li><li>How to recognize when to use Teacher Voice and EF Coach&nbsp;Voice</li><li>Specific language shifts that encourage thinking, problem-solving, and&nbsp;ownership</li><li>Practical strategies that can be used at home and at&nbsp;school</li></ul>Register here: <a href="https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_D1qWlcZ4Sj-1heuQsg7ElQ</a>

LP Wilson Community Center

Windsor Education Foundation to Host 4th Annual Bingo Fundraiser — This Year, It's Grab Bag Bingo! The Windsor Education Foundation (WEF) invites the community to its 4th Annual Bingo Fundraiser, a not-to-be-missed evening of fun, friends, and friendly competition, on Friday, October 2, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:30 PM at LP Wilson Community Center, 599 Matianuck Avenue, Windsor.

The event supports WEF’s mission to provide funds for teachers who have innovative educational ideas that would never get to the classroom without a WEF grant.
This year's event brings an exciting new twist to the game; prizes for each round are in a "Grab Bag” format. Each ticket includes ten games of bingo, and the winner of every round gets to choose their prize from two incredible options valued between $100 and $350 each— from designer handbags, restaurant gift cards, spa splurges, and so much more. Guests are encouraged to arrive early to browse the prize selection.
The evening will also feature a silent auction and raffle stocked with exciting items generously donated by local businesses and other WEF supporters, including this year's event sponsors: Carmon Community Funeral Homes and Windsor Federal Bank.
“People look forward to our annual bingo nigh. They call their friends and get together for the games, bringing takeout from local restaurants, home made treats, and other refreshments for their table and have a fun night out.” says WEF President Paula M. Pierce. “I’ve even "Uber Eats”ed dinner at one bingo event."
Tickets are $40 and include ten rounds of bingo. Tickets may be purchased online or via Venmo at @WEFCT07. All proceeds directly benefit WEF's mission. "We would not be able to give out grants to Windsor teachers if it weren't for the generosity of the people and businesses who support our fundraisers," said WEF Board Member Shannon Rabbett. "And it's always a fun night."
Don't miss your chance to be part of Windsor's favorite fall tradition — grab your friends, get your cards, and get ready to grab your prize!
The Windsor Education Foundation encourages community support for excellence in public education and provides funding for innovative projects and programs in Windsor Public Schools. WEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. For more information or to support WEF, visit WindsorEducationFoundation.org or @windsoreducationfoundation or call 860-712-5514.
