❤️🐯 Day 39 of Year 39! 🐯❤️

Ms. Laneda Owens is the epitome of a gentle spirit, kindness, compassion, and love. She has spent all 39 years of her career in WMSD, with an incredible 38 of those years teaching third grade!

For nearly four decades, Ms. Owens has poured her heart into her students. No one leaves her classroom without knowing they are loved—and carrying a little piece of that love with them for a lifetime.

Within the walls of her classroom, she has taught and touched generations of families, creating a legacy that reaches far beyond academics.

39 years in WMSD. 38 years in third grade. Generations of students. A lifetime of love and impact. ❤️

Thank you, Ms. Owens, for your faithful service, your gentle spirit, and the countless lives you have touched throughout Tiger Nation! 🐯❤️🖤

We may be a couple of days late celebrating HR Professionals Day, but we certainly couldn’t let it pass without recognizing our own Mrs. Tabitha McCrory, WMSD Human Resources Director! ❤️🐾

Mrs. McCrory works behind the scenes every day supporting our employees, strengthening our district, helping us navigate the many details of HR, and making sure our Tiger family is taken care of.

HR Professionals Day was September 26, but our appreciation for Mrs. McCrory goes far beyond just one day!

Thank you, Mrs. McCrory, for all you do for WMSD and Tiger Nation! We appreciate you! ❤️🖤🐯

Winona Elementary School is proud to have partnered with Operation Warm, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing brand-new coats and shoes to children.

Through this wonderful partnership, every student at Winona Lower and Upper Elementary Schools received a brand-new winter coat to help keep them warm throughout the upcoming winter season.

Operation Warm also partnered with ADP, whose volunteers generously gave their time to assist with distributing coats to our students. Their support helped make the event a smooth and memorable experience for our students.

We are truly grateful to Operation Warm and ADP for their generosity, time, and commitment to serving children in our community. Partnerships such as these make a meaningful difference, and we sincerely appreciate everyone who helped make this special day possible for our students.
