What's On at Winsor
English faculty Lisa Stringfellow presented to the Lower School and guests from the Boston Latin School( blsthrives) about her latest book, Kingdom of Dust, a West African-inspired fantasy. She discussed her love of fairy tales and how that led her to write books where a young Lisa could see herself and her culture reflected on the pages. Members of the Winsor community then distributed signed copies of the book to all Lower School students!

Winsor’s walls are constantly changing as Visual Arts students showcase their work. Right now, the exhibitions in the front hall are Reverse Charcoal Skull Drawings (made by erasing away, rather than adding charcoal) by Drawing Studio students and photographs of Eggs and Bones by Digital Photography students. In the dining room exhibition space we have Disco Ball Oil Paintings from Class IV Drawing & Painting, Mythical Paper Mache Creatures from Class III Sculpture, and Canopic Jars from Handbuilding Ceramics students.
