School District of Winter

Today three students from the Science in the Community class practice their skills of teaching younger students about science with visitors with the LCO 1st graders. The students all met at Project Northwoods Nature Center to take a look at the critters and learn about different habits of the animals. One of the best ways to assess what you have learned is by teaching another!

Attached is the most updated version of this year's basketball schedule. There have been some recent adjustments to times to aim for consistency and work around other team/official schedules.
Thank you for your continued flexibility!

Student of the Month
December 2025
Ella Molenda
Class of 2028

Ella Molenda, daughter of Chelsey Shanks, has been chosen as
the Winter High School Student of the Month for December 2025.
Ella is currently a sophomore at Winter High School. She is a
diligent worker who always completes her assignments in a
timely manner and to the best of her ability. While in High School,
Ella is playing volleyball and has participated in Skills USA.
Mr. Suralski, the Winter High School Social Studies teacher says,
“Ella is a great choice for our student of the month. She really
exemplifies the WHS motto of “WORK” in that she goes about
her business of learning every day without any fuss or fanfare,
simply doing excellent work day in and day out. Ella’s WORK
ethics sets a high bar for other students to follow. Great job, Ella!”
Mrs. Lueloff, the Winter School District Business Education
teacher says, “Ella is a joy to have in class this year. I feel so
fortunate to get to know Ella better. She may come off as quiet,
but she is such a joy! She is my next accounting prodigy! She
works hard, and is diligent every day in class. She asks
appropriate questions, and is actually curious to understand her subjects in school. Ella is
always up for a challenge and honestly, prospers when she tackles each challenge. She is kind,
hardworking and a joy to have around. As much as she doesn’t always speak up, she maintains
a strong presence of what it is to be a Warrior.”

Congratulations to Ella for earning Student of the Month for December 2025!

Congrats to Sabreena on being the Senior of the Month!

Today the Advanced Placement Environmental Science class conducted an activity to better understand "The Tragedy of the Commons", a scientific paper they read about partitioning among community members the resources found in common areas. Each student had to "catch" enough fish to survive for the next year, but could take extras to sell for a profit. However, if each person took too many, there would be none left to repopulate for the next year and eventually the food supply would run out. Students each developed their own strategy and also enjoyed finishing off the Goldfish bags when the lab was over! High School labs are always best when they include food!

Members of our high school basketball teams helped our elementary students with their Christmas shopping event this past Wednesday. It was a great opportunity for our student athletes to show our younger students what it means to be a Warrior! They are role models and they WORK every day to set a good example for the next generations! There were a few more helpers who were not available for a picture at this time but they all contributed and are appreciated!
Some of the comments we received from teachers and event organizers:

"Mr. Delabar,
I just wanted to inform you that the HS helpers were very "Benevolent" and Altruistic. Yes I googled and copied/pasted those words.
They were great!"
-Mr. Moelter - 4th Grade

"They did a GREAT job! 🥳🥳🥳"
Jan Skille - 1st grade

"Thank you guys so much for being good role models to the little guys!"
Event Organizer"

Lots of laughs and holiday cheer was in the air this day!

Santa gained a few new helpers this year! Kindergarteners got to “elf” themselves and got up to all sorts of shenanigans!

2nd graders got to go snowshoeing this afternoon! They had a blast... and fell down a lot! ☃️❄️😂
