#thankfulthursdaypromoAs the coldest week of the year settles over Connecticut, we’re reminded of the people who bring warmth to our schools—not through heaters, but through their actions, smiles, and care. This #ThankfulThursday, we’re highlighting two incredible members of our Windsor Public Schools family who make every day feel a little cozier.

Rick Deschenes: The Heart of WHS Operations

No matter how chilly it gets outside, you can always count on Rick Deschenes to bring a little sunshine to Windsor High School. As the Head Custodian, Rick is always the first to step up and lend a hand, whether it’s during district-wide events or a busy school day. His positive attitude and willingness to help make every moment brighter.

Oshady Daron: A Trusted Presence for Our Students

Oshady Daron keeps Windsor High School feeling secure and welcoming. While his role is focused on safety, his real strength lies in his ability to connect with students. Oshady’s approachable nature and support of students’ social-emotional learning create a sense of trust and belonging that warms the hearts of everyone at WHS.

Rick and Oshady, thank you for making our days brighter and warmer during this cold season. Your contributions to our district are as heartwarming as a cup of hot cocoa on a snowy day. #weareWINdsor
