*NEW This Year*
Lifetouch will NOT be able to accept LATE cash/check orders STARTING THIS FALL!!!
As you may know, when students bring in their picture order after picture day, it can result in parent confusion, duplicate orders. Many times, late orders do not arrive with the large batch of orders after picture day, resulting in phone calls and emails searching for students orders.
Late orders MUST be completed online only. Online ordering will give your school families the ability to track their order and have them shipped to their home. This will eliminate random orders being shipped to the school office throughout the school year.
Reminder that all cash/check paper order forms MUST be turned in to the photographer(s) before they leave on Picture Day.
-If a paper order is not turned in to the photographer by the end of Picture Day, parents will be required to place their picture order online at mylifetouch.com.
-Instead of leaving an envelope for late cash/check payments (as they have done in the past), the photographer should be leaving directions for placing an online order.
Your picture day is also quickly approaching. Below you will find your school's Picture Day ID and Direct Ordering Link.

Thank you so much, Dr. Ray, for bringing real fossils for my 2nd graders to see! The students were incredibly excited and fascinated, and they loved learning from such amazing real-life examples. We are very thankful! 🦖🦕🙂

Last night, our boys picked up their first win against our friendly rivals, the Birchwood Bobcats. In this JV contest, the Warriors outlasted a stellar performance from Birchwood 3 point sniper Xalen Bergstrom (7 made 3’s for 21 points) and won by 3. Everyone contributed to the win and it was smiles all around as the final buzzer sounded.
It was a great night for Warrior hoops!

Mrs. Olson's second graders have been learning about fossils and how scientists use them to learn about the past! Today, they became paleontologists and excavated their very own dinosaurs from eggs! They had a dino-mite time discovering what was hidden inside. 😎🦕🦖
At tonight’s basketball games vs. Birchwood we were proud to recognize our officials as part of WIAA Officials Appreciation Week. We took time to get photos with the officiating crew to show our gratitude for the important role they play in making our games possible. In addition, we stocked the “ref lounge” with extra snacks and drinks as a small thank-you for their time, professionalism, and dedication to student-athletes. We truly appreciate everything our officials do for high school sports!
Be the 1 Recognition: Be the 1 is recognition for outstanding work and commitment to the Winter School’s staff and students and our community. Kelli Loser was nominated for the Staff Be the 1. Kelli has been super helpful since Craig has gotten here. She is always going above and beyond. Abigail was nominated for the student Be the 1. Abigail is described as always smiling and positive. She is always trying to build up her peers and she is a very hard worker! Congratulations!!
It's Game Day!!
The Physical Science students have been learning about distance, speed and acceleration through the ever popular paper airplane lab! Each student had a class period to design, build and test different types of paper airplanes. Then, yesterday, we had a competition to see who's plane had the greatest distance and speed. Suddenly, doing all of the math calculations wasn't so bad!

The Warriors traveled to New Auburn on Monday night and came home with a 35-19 win over the Trojans. Consistent effort helped set the tone throughout the game. Every girl played and made a contribution in each quarter, showcasing great teamwork and unselfish play. Our girls continue to WORK hard and improve each time they step on the court. Great job, Warriors!

Kristyna Gryc, daughter of Lenka Kedronova, is
featured in our Senior Spotlight for January 2026.
Kriss is a dedicated student who has a clear
direction of what she wants and how she plans
to get there. While in High School, Kriss has been
active in Student Council and on the golf team.
Kriss has already joined the Army and plans to
pursue a career as a mechanic following
graduation. She takes any opportunity to
gain knowledge by spending extra time in the
shop and even working on her own vehicle
with the guidance of the Tech Ed teachers.
Mr. Mike Scanlon, one of Winter School
District’s Tech Education teachers says, “Well,
what can I say; Kriss is an absolute joy to
be around. She always greets you with a smile
and a can-do attitude. She excels at welding and
mechanics. She is a thinker and a problem-solver.
Kriss is going to go far in the world with
whatever she chooses to do. Mrs. Alicia Lueloff,
the Winter School District’s Business Education teacher, says, “Kriss is determined to do
whatever she sets her mind to. She is someone that follows through, whether it is joining the
military or getting her Yearbook pages completed! She has a good sense of humor and is a joy
to be around. I hope she’ll visit after she graduates!” Mr. Suralski, the High School Social
Studies teacher, says, “As others have mentioned, Kriss is very determined. In my years as golf
coach, I have had few athletes as motivated or as determined as Kriss. This attitude will serve
her well in the future. I’m excited to see Kriss play Varsity golf in her senior year!”
Congratulations to Kriss for earning Senior Spotlight for January 2026!
