Meet Our Gang

Dorko  THUNDERCATS ARE GO!! Hi, my name is Miss "Dorko" and I've been a member of the Windmill gang for almost 18 years!! I recently graduated from Shippensburg University with a degree in Elementary Education and am pursuing my teaching career in the local school districts. You may see me out in Doylestown at "Coffee and Cream" sporting my bearded lady "get up". It gets me through the line faster on First Fridays.....hint, hint, Cookie Dough is my favorite!

Miss Pammy  AKA Pam the Clam, is in her 22nd year here at Windmill, which according to her is her "Gold Rolex" Anniversary. Me-maw, as she is referred to by her grandchildren, is an avid marathoner. When she is not juggling camp life or her own classroom, she can usually be found logging 9 minute miles around Peace Valley!

Rhe-Rhe  Hi Magic Rhe Rhe here!! As part of the Lowenthal Family, and undoubtedly my mother's favorite, I have worked at Windmill since the day I got working papers at the ripe age of 14! Since then, I have been helping inside classrooms and outside at the horse barn. Other duties include: anything Pammy tells me, anything Silverstein tells me, etc... Occasionally, when time permits, I run off and work on a film project, dressing rich and famous people. When I grow up, I want to be a Professional Polo Player!

Mr Dion  All of my favorite things start with the Letter "P"!! For example, but not limited to, the Phillies, Pizza, Popcorn, Pammy, Pickles, Pirates, Pancakes, Play-Doh and Paradise!!

Miss Wendy  AKA "Woo" or "Gwendolyn" (when Miss Lisa is feeling fancy!)- I'm Ms Wendy, and I have been at Windmill since I was 4 months old with my older brother "Mr. Bobby" We have both grown up at Windmill... and now we both work here. I am currently going to school full time for early childhood/elementary education and when I am not at Temple, you can find me in a classroom at Windmill. In the summertime, I am a camp counselor as well. I love working with children and would not want to spend my time any other way!

Miss Lisa Silverstein  "Stine", "Baywatch Barbie", "The Oldest Sister", etc...- Since coming home from Harvard (or was it Dickinson?) in the mid eighties (in jams and vans), Silverstein has been heading up operations at Windmill Day School and Camp. A lifetime member of MENSA, she can often be found scurrying about micro-managing her brother and sister. Hubby Adam and son Ari have been known to exist on a diet of corn flakes and diet soda in response to her inability to boil water! And rumor has it she got an hour of sleep last june! We love you Groucho!

Miss Sharon  "Shar-Shar" or "Castaldi" as I like to call her, has changed more than a million diapers in her twenty years here at Windmill. Most famous for pulling her wagon with toddlers in tow, she is finally growing one of her own. We wish her luck on her 3 day hiatus and look forward to little Castaldi-West coming around soon!

Miss Sarah  In her 21 years at Windmill, Miss Sarah has been crowned "Potty Training Queen." When she is not working diligently with her older toddles, she can be found over at Froehlich's Farm, helping out the family, or riding around with hubby Benny in some cool classic car!

Miss Jennie Upton  "Uptown" or "Miss Jennie" I have been a part of the Windmill family for twelve years now. It is hard to believe that I started back in the first grade and now I am looking forward to going to college! During the school year I spend my time with Miss Pammy’s and Miss Renee’s amazing class every Monday and Wednesday afternoon. During the summer season you will find me at the horse barn teaching campers about my favorite animal!!

Miss Tori  Hi! I’m Miss Tori and I am a senior at Central Bucks High School West. I’ve been at Windmill since I was 6 weeks old! I have two younger brothers; Brett and Aidan. Aidan is in Miss Dee Dee and Mr. Dion’s class! I work at windmill in the summer, but this is my first time being a staff during the school year! I love working with children and I enjoy being a part of the Windmill family!

Miss Lisa Street  I joined the Windmill family ten years ago. Over the years I've had the opportunity to work with all age groups, from toddlers to Ks. I graduated from Gwynedd-Mercy College with an elementary (K-6th) teaching certificate. Miss Jen Devlin and I have been working together as kindergarten teachers for a total of four years, and might I say we're a fabulous duo!! Along with several of my fellow Windmill co-workers, I enjoy running, tire pulls and staying active. You can often find me running in several of our local 5Ks throughout the year. Here at Windmill, nicknames are often given to staff, students and parents. Several years ago, I was called "Streets"....and well, it stuck. You can also find me here in the summer working with the youngest campers. I feel blessed everyday to be able to work at an amazing school and camp.

Miss Jen Devlin AKA "Gram" Hi! Just taking a minute to let you know a little bit about me. I have been at this fabulous facility for a little over 12 years now and I must say that it is great to be a part of the family. I started as a pre-k teacher then moved up to Kindergarten and have been there ever since...I refuse to graduate!! Together Lisa Street"s" and I run a great program focusing on the individual child and preparing young minds for a successful elementary school experience! During the summer months, I can usually be found in the kitchen, rustling up lunches and snacks for campers and staff. When I am not on the Windmill property, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children at the Poconos or the beach.

Paging Doctor Kate! On call to handle things from bumped heads to bee stings to boo-boos, I’m a recent addition to the Windmill teaching family, but WDS and I go way back … all the way to 1995! Yes, that’s right: I was once a camper, and Miss Pammy still remembers my sister Icky! These days, I can be found in the Pre-K classrooms getting my alphabet on, but I’m always ready to bust out my Queen of Hearts impression! Simon Says "off with their heads!"

Miss Erin  I am very excited for my first year at Windmill! I've been in education for five years now, first as an assistant for a preschool autistic class, then as an elementary resource teacher in New Jersey. I recently moved to Perkasie with my hubby, Mike, and our two dogs, Ruby and Codey. When I'm not at Windmill teaching art or Pre-K, I can am spending time with family and friends or at the ballet studio rehearsing and taking class.

Miss Meghan  Hi! My name is Meghan and I am a new member of the Windmill Family. I have five brothers so naturally, I love playing and following all different sports. I graduated from Temple University (yes, I could have gone anywhere) and earned my Bachelor's Degree in Speech-Language Pathology. I like to spend my free time outdoors, shopping, or with family and friends:)

Mr. Bobby  "Boom-Boom" is whom we like to refer to here as a Windmill "lifer". Bobby began at Windmill when he was six months old and has yet to leave. Along the way, thirty short years later, he has acquired a high school diploma, a college degree, a full-time "gig" at Del Val, never ending college payments, a Commercial Pesticide Applicator Certification (only to impress all the ladies), an American Red Cross CPR and First Aid Trainer Certification (accepts weekend "gigs" to pay for upcoming diapers), two dogs, one wife... and a baby on board! In the summer Mr. Bobby can be found immersed in sunscreen, zinc oxide, and his swim shirt down at the pool, training future Olympic hopefuls. During the off-season Mr. Bobby works at Delaware Valley College as their Athletic Trainer. Bobby's fab five things to do include: Walking his beastly dogs, Jake and Bailey, chlorinating the pool 24/7, DQ Blizzards, listening to Lisa's obsessive mantra about "Safety", and finally, standing on concrete for no less than ten hours per day! Arriving as one of the first students in diapers, isn't it funny how the cycle comes full circle, and in a few short months HE will be the one doing the diaper changing!

Mr. Noah  Hi guys, Mr. Noah here, and welcome to Windmill. I am profoundly proud to be a part of something that started a very long time ago by my mom... Continuing on today with my two sisters, Lisa and Rhe-Rhe, along with an amazing group of individuals making up the Windmill family. I hope you find your family's experience at Windmill as wonderful and magical as I think Windmill is for me. Welcome...

Miss Renee  AKA "Miss Nay" Relatively new to the Windmill family, I began working in 2006 as a camp counselor and soon discovered that a huge part of what makes life great was missing... WINDMILL. And needless to say, I have been here ever since. I have worked part time over the past four years while attending Temple University. In May 2010 I graduated from college with a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and a focus in Early Childhood Education.
FYI: Any one of my students could tell you my favorite day of the week is when we have chicken nuggets for lunch OR anytime a student brings in brownies or homemade cookies!

Miss Sam  My name is Samantha Hogan and I have worked at Windmill since the summer of 2007. It is wonderful being able to watch the children of Windmill grow in more ways than one from summer to summer. I recently graduated college with a degree in Elementary Education. I love to get on a horse and fly like the wind, it makes me feel free. I love just hanging out with my friends being silly and playing crazy rummy.

Miss Dee-Dee  I have been a part of the Windmill family since 1995. It all began one day at the Toddle House, but now you can find me teaching Pre-Kindergarten in the BIG school! When summer rolls around you will find me working as a lifeguard... but more importantly, workin' on my tan. I do have two children of my own, Cameron & Carter.... well, three if you count my husband Mike!

Mr. Vinnie  Hi I'm Vinnie or Vincenzo when Miss Lisa is feeling international! I've been at Windmill for 14 years now. First as a Camper, Cit, then JC. I finally reached full fledged staff status three years ago. I graduated from Central Bucks West in 2009 and am currently a sophomore at Bucks County Community College, majoring in Fire Science. I have been a volunteer firefighter with the Chalfont Fire Company for 3 1/2 years and counting. Favorite movies and tv shows are Backdraft, Ladder 49, and Rescue Me!!
