Family CARES - 2 minutes

Family CARES is a caregiver-led group that is excited to be starting it’s second year at Windom. We align with Welcoming Wolves and aim to be the adult version of that student-led group.

We have based Family CARES on Windom’s school values (Cooperation/Collaboration, Assertiveness, Respect/Responsibility, Empathy, and Self-control) to support belonging, equity, and inclusion for all our students and families.

We are currently looking for new members and strive for this to be an adult group that represents the diversity at Windom. If you’re interested in joining, you can email WINDOMFamilyCARES@gmail.com or rebecca.dosse@mpls.k12.mn.us
