SPEAKING OF EDUCATION BY KURT LINDAU

Happy New Year!

Hopefully your Holiday break was enjoyable. Monday morning we a had a two hour delay due to the less than favorable road conditions. My day started at 5AM with numerous phone calls getting as much information as possible from multiple sources to make an informed decision about running school two hours late or closing school. The decision is one that is not taken lightly as we know it affects many people’s lives and schedules. Our bus drivers have a stressful job. They literally have the lives of our students in their hands when they get behind the wheel every morning and evening. The safety of our students is always at the forefront when making the decision. Hopefully everyone has a contingency plan in the event that school runs late, closes early, or not at all. Thank you for your patience and support when Mother Nature challenges us.

As always, please do not hesitate to let us know how we can make your child’s experience at school a positive one.

STUDENT OF THE MONTH

Harlie Harris

Winter High School is proud to honor our student of the month for March, Ms. Harlie Harris. Harlie, daughter of Gidget Harris of Radisson, has been described as a hard working student who has come a long way in the past few years! She is a Sophomore at WHS and has been quickly showing her true abilities as a high school student. Harlie wants to be a physical education teacher after she graduates and goes to college.

Harlie’s teachers would describe her as someone who is social and pleasant to work with. Now, as a Sophomore, she always tries her best and puts her work as a top priority. Harlie has also been told several times that she very likely has the best handwriting of anyone in the high school! Harlie is also someone who lends a helping hand to other students, making sure they are on track.

This year, Harlie really has taken an interest in US History. She does very thorough work, showing a great deal of thought on her assignments. It is impressive how self-motivated she is and how she strives to learn intrinsically. She is a model student! This makes sense, as Harlie says that her favorite class is US History.

For extracurricular activities, Harlie enjoys track, volleyball and basketball. She likes to be active and push herself. She also is a part of the Choir at WHS. Her Choir instructor says that she is one of the most motivated students. Staff and students agree that Harlie is a kind student who likes to have fun and has shown improved motivation since she started high school.

In her free time, Harlie likes to ride her horse Trixi. She also loves to hang out with friends. In the Summer, Harlie attends Camp Chetek. There, she really likes to make new friends and be social while doing all of the fun activities.

We are proud of our Winter Warrior, Harlie Harris, and how she demonstrates the Warrior Way in her actions each day!
