Dear Eli Terry Families,
Our students had a great time wearing pajamas to school yesterday for our annual Wreaths Across America fundraiser! Each year, we’re so grateful for the generous support of our families for this meaningful program.
We’re also looking forward to our Veterans Day assembly next Tuesday—it’s always an amazing event.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Eli Terry will be celebrating Veterans Day on Tuesday, November 11, 2025. It is a tradition at Eli Terry to invite Veterans and Active Military family members (or close friends) to join us for a special school assembly, where our students and staff will honor your service.
Veterans are invited to begin the morning in the cafeteria with coffee and pastries, where you’ll sign in with the principal before we process together into the assembly at 9:30 a.m.
Please plan to arrive in the cafeteria by 9:15 a.m.
If you or a family member is a Veteran and plans to attend our assembly on November 11th, please complete the form below. If you have any questions, contact our music teacher, Susan Leach, at sleach@southwindsorschools.org.
Please complete the form by Monday, November 10th.

The Connecticut Invention Convention is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering an interest in STEM careers by encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This unique science fair, a long-standing tradition for South Windsor students, gives participants the opportunity to design and create their own inventions to solve real-world problems.
Throughout the program, students will explore invention design, brainstorming techniques, and ways to reflect on challenges in their lives and the world around them. While most of the project will be completed independently at home, there will be one virtual work session and one additional in-person work session where students can receive feedback and support on their process.

Our Student Ambassadors were thrilled to welcome Tommy Gilinski, the student who started the Socktober initiative, to Eli Terry this week! Tommy stopped by to pick up our incredible school-wide donation of 1,878 pairs of socks.
Thanks to the generosity of our students, families, and staff, these socks will help make a difference for those in need this season. We’re so proud of our Student Ambassadors for leading this effort and to everyone who contributed to this wonderful cause!
