Like many others, the Windward Community has been deeply affected by the recent fires. Our hearts go out to the 48+ families and employees who lost their homes, as well as to the many others still unable to return. In response, we’ve provided a range of support services, including temporary housing, transportation, clothing, gift cards, toiletries, and counseling support. Additionally, we’ve extended our community’s generosity to local apartment complexes that have welcomed fire-impacted individuals.
OUTREACH COMMITTEE
PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY & HOMELESS COMMITTEE
s a school operating in a residential neighborhood, we strive to do our part in remaining a good neighbor. We hope this ongoing commitment to road safety and campus etiquette will further the positive relationship we have with our neighbors. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns regarding traffic, parking, or security.
