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

Rylee Zomok

Winter High School is excited to announce our March Student of the Month, Ms. Rylee Zomok. Rylee, daughter of Staci and Christopher Zomok, was nominated and chosen by the high school staff members. She is a thriving Sophomore at Winter High School. When Rylee finishes her high school career, she plans to attend college. Rylee is currently thinking of becoming a pharmacy technician.

Rylee has been involved with volleyball, softball and drama club and was also the basketball manager. This year, Rylee is a part of the high school student council. In addition, she competed in Forensics and made it to the state level. Her forensics piece is a mixed up fairy tale where the Big Bad Pig harasses the poor little wolves. She has a great sense of humor and always sees the absurd in everyday life!

Recently, Rylee attended the Girls Rock Math Day at the University of Eau Claire. Such dedication & focus makes it easy for her teachers to appreciate her level of commitment to her academics. She is someone who always puts in her two cents in any classroom discussion; She is interested in what is going on and wants to make sure she understands. As an athlete, Rylee is typically one of the most positive and uplifting teammates around! She clearly makes a concerted effort to get the most out of life and is a pleasant individual who always has a ready greeting for her peers and staff alike!

In her free time, you can find Rylee doing something fun! She really enjoys writing, watching TV and movies and also listening to music. Her favorite TV show right now is called Supernatural. On occasion, Rylee even likes to draw. At home, she has three very lazy cats, Abby, Chief and Sam.

What a joy it is to have Rylee as a part of the Winter School District family! Rylee demonstrates the Warrior Way each day!
