Winona Goodfellows Application
Fall is here – it’s time for families with kids in PreK-8th grade to apply to the Winona Goodfellows program to receive vouchers for warm winter clothing! That’s right, it has been extended to 7th and 8th graders!
Families can apply for Goodfellows online or using the traditional printed applications. Applications went home in green folders this week. No matter how you apply, all families will receive vouchers mailed directly to their home.
A separate application needs to be completed for each child. Return completed applications to the office or apply online at www.winonagoodfellows.org
The deadline to apply is Saturday, November 4th. Questions? Email winonagoodfellows@gmail.com.
Winona Goodfellows, a nonprofit fund at the Winona Community Foundation supported entirely by donations, has provided countless income-eligible families with warm winter clothing and footwear for more than 100 years.

Fundraiser Orders due Monday, October 10
Turn in order forms and money by Monday, October 10th!
Pick up Tuesday, November 8th, 2:15 – 4 pm.
Thank you to all for your time and effort towards this fundraiser!
Bluffview, on average, retains approximately $3000 from this fundraiser.For those that find themselves asking, “can I just skip selling stuff and make a donation“, yes you can!
Consider donating to the annual campaign here. Donations can also be made in person with cash or check.
There has been a $4000 matching grant! So if you donate $25, the school receives $25 from that grant.
Why do we ask for money:- We are a public charter school, and as such received $4,333.57 less per student (ADM) than the resident school district-we are our own district, #4001.
- Montessori is expensive-we have additional staff and materials not found in a traditional school.
- As a publicly funded school, K-8 is free to anyone interested in school choice. A private Montessori school in Minnesota will cost a family upwards of $10,000 per student per year.
What will we do with the money raised:- New Science learning materials for all general education classrooms
- Additional security cameras
- Storage, building and grounds implements, other needs for the garage (to be built in the spring)
