Around Windham: Daylight Saving Time coming soon, and spring events with it
- Nicole Sweet
Hello Windham Family!
Happy February Bomber Country! February is for the season of love. Sharing kindness with others, loving yourself, spending time with your loved ones who add joy and laughter. I especially love that February means we get to enjoy longer days and more daylight around our little town. Don’t forget Daylight Saving Time will begin on Sunday, March 8, when clocks spring forward one hour at 2 a.m. Here are some upcoming events and information to look forward to at the end of February and beginning of March.
Windham Farmers' Market
The Village of Windham is looking for vendors for the farmers' market at the Windham Community Building, from 5 to 7 p.m. every third Thursday, February through April. Local food and craft vendors wanted. Call 330-646-9361 for more information.
Attention youth softball players
This is how Bombers are built. The Windham Bombers High School Softball Fundraiser Clinic is back — packed with fundamentals, skill work, and real game situations, led by our high school players and coaches. This clinic is open to any youth looking to sharpen their skills. Participants do not have to be a Windham student. This will be an indoor clinic at Windham High School from 10 a.m. to noon March 7, 14, 21, 28 and April 4 and those who attend will receive a discount and a clinic T-shirt. Train. Learn. Get better. This clinic gives youth players the chance to train with our high school athletes and sharpen their skills in a competitive, supportive environment. All proceeds support the program. Register here and get more details on the flyer: https://form.jotform.com/.../windham-youth-softball-clinic.
Windham students traveling to Costa Rica
Windham students are planning to travel to Costa Rica in 2027. A tasty way to help us get there is to order some gourmet delights through Stoller Fundraising. Prefer to order online? Click and select your seller's name for online ordering and payment (convenience fee applies): bit.ly/windhamtravel You may also place an order in the high school office and pay by cash or check made out to Windham High School.
