From Mrs. Strop & the 5th Grade:

Geodes-Science Rocks!
By Mrs. Strop
A geode is a sphere-shaped, dull-looking rock with a rough outside that contains a mystery on the inside! The inner cavity is lined with crystals such as quartz, calcite, or amethyst. They form over thousands of years when minerals and moisture seep into cavities within volcanic or sedimentary rocks, creating the crystals. Fifth graders had a great time studying geodes! One of the fascinating things is that comparing geodes by weight, color, texture, and size doesn't guarantee what they will look like when cracked open! A fun, exciting, and learning experience was had by all who participated! Science Rocks!

The Winter Middle School had its first meet of the season last night in Cornell. They did a great job and competed hard.

They are all super proud, and so are we! CONGRATULATIONS, WARRIORS!

Both the Elementary and Junior Class Fundraisers END Friday, April 17! Elementary students need to return order forms to teachers, and Juniors need to return their tickets and monies to Miss Becky or Miss Petra.
Thank you, everyone, for your support of our area youth! Go, Warriors & Win the Day!

Several Winter School Students gathered outside on Thursday, April 9, to greet the returning SkillsUSA Wisconsin STATE Champs! Congratulations to the Champs and their WORK to WIN the DAY!



The ENVIROTHON is UNDERWAY!
From Dr. Ray: It's a chilly day in Rosholt, but the students are moving through the stations. We have little contact with them throughout the day, so we'll see how they fared in the end!

Coach Delabar and Coach Jennie accompanied nine student-athletes to the Lakeland Conference Leadership Summit today, joining peers from eight other schools across the conference. The event focused on developing leadership skills and empowering student athletes to take an active role in shaping their team cultures.



From Guidance Counselor Mrs. Graf:
The Freshmen and some Junior leaders had so much fun at the Respect Retreat in Lake Holcombe with many other area schools. We had awesome speakers from Minneapolis that led us in small group discussions, large group games, music and talks, and some of our students even stood up in front of everyone at the very end to share about respect. The main focus of the day was showing respect to ourselves, to others, and to stand up for others. Our students represented Winter so wonderfully!
