Hello Windham Family!
April showers bring May flowers in Bomber Country! Thankfully for us, this has been a warmer-than-usual start to April. Looking forward to continued warmer days ahead. Spring is finally in the air, and here are some exciting events and important information coming up in our little town:
Community clean-up days
Join Windham Village and Township for a joint community clean-up weekend from 8 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Friday, April 24 and Saturday, April 25. Clear your clutter and put it in the dumpsters at the wastewater plant at 9958 E. Center St. (next to the American Legion).
The clean-up will end when all the dumpsters are full. Flammable items, paint and construction materials will not be accepted, and only four tires per household will be allowed. Proof of residency required.

Congratulations KT Elementary School
The Ohio Department of Education recognized Katherine Thomas Elementary School for earning the Momentum Award. This award is very difficult for any school to achieve, and Katherine Thomas has earned it two straight school years. Congrats to everyone involved and Go Bombers!
Congratulations to Bombers
Congratulations to Anayah Davis and Kyle Crisman, who were recognized at Hiram College. Both students shared excerpts from their original pieces, which recently earned recognition in one of Hiram’s writing contests. Great job, Anayah and Kyle.
Congratulations to sixth grade Destination Imagination winners
Congratulations to our sixth-grade Destination Imagination team for finishing fourth in the state at its competition. These students faced teams from much larger school districts while moving up to the middle school bracket this year, forcing them to be the youngest team in the tournament. They worked hard all year and represented Windham well.
Windham Village Fun In The Sun
Mark your calendars for 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12 for the annual Fun in the Sun event. We’re looking for vendors and live entertainment to be part of this fun community event as we say goodbye to summer and welcome the fall vibes. If you’re interested in participating, contact us at windhamvillageohvents@gmail.com or dmiller@windhamvillageoh.gov. Let’s make this a great day for the community with shopping, music, food and fun for everyone.
I look forward to keeping the Windham community up to date with all the information I receive. Please contact me with anything you may like featured. The Around Windham column runs the third week of each month, and I will need all the information the week prior. You may contact me via text/call at 330-283-2711 or via email at nks1024@icloud.com.
Thank you, Nicole Sweet.
