Nick Winton, son of Sir Nicholas Winton, will be in Williston on Sunday, November 6th to share his father’s amazing Holocaust story with our community.
Sir Nicholas Winton is a British humanitarian credited with organizing a Kindertransport of 669 mostly Jewish children from Czechoslovakia on the eve of World War II. What made 29-year-old Nicky give up his skiing holiday to rescue these children from the Nazis and how did he do it? Winton’s son Nick will tell his father’s inspiring story about the life-changing events that transformed the destiny of so many.
Some of you may be familiar with the children’s book Nicky & Vera that tells this story. Please spread the word of this event. More publicity is coming out soon.
This event is set for Sunday, November 6th at 4pm at Williston High School in the theater and open to the public.
Please reach out if you have any questions.

Dear Williston Community,
It is with profound sadness that I write this letter to let you know that one of our Williston High School students passed away unexpectedly this weekend. Our sincere condolences and thoughts go out to the family and friends of our student. During this time as the school community processes the tragic news and copes with grief, the school district will offer counseling and bereavement support services to all of our students and staff with our WBSD 7 Crisis Team.
A student death is a difficult and challenging situation that can generate a high level of anxiety and distress for some students. If you feel that your children are having difficulty, we encourage you to discuss their thoughts and feelings to help them work through their grief or concerns. Please also consider monitoring and discussing your children’s communications (social media, phone, e-mails, text messages) to further assess their potential needs.
If you feel that your children need to speak to a counselor or other caring adult, please do not hesitate to call our schools and let us know. Additionally, you should feel free to contact the WBSD #7 Crisis Team (701-572-0967) for guidance on how to handle and talk about any grief or concerns that your children may be experiencing. Our Crisis Team will be available at Williston High School this coming week for any staff or students that need support.
There are also resources on grief and helping students cope with loss on our website.
This is a difficult time for everyone, but I know our students and staff will lean on each other as they fondly remember their classmate. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me, your building principal or the WBSD 7 Crisis Team.
Sincerely,
Dr. Richard H. Faidley
Superintendent of Schools
