Mr. Delabar randomly discovered that a high percentage of our high schoolers had an affinity for Just Dance, so they arranged a pre-break party for the kids to relax and have fun while still working on their cardio and rhythms. Some of our kids can really move! The PE class created the playlist for the event and one student donated tons of glow sticks for us to enhance the experience.
Overall, it was a smashing success. Thanks to all of the participating students and all of the parents who have probably heard these songs hundreds of times in the past 14-18 years! Us teachers were thoroughly impressed!





The American Legion Oratorical Contest exists to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation for the U.S. Constitution among high school students. Since 1938, the program has presented participants with an academic speaking challenge that teaches important leadership qualities, the history of our nation’s laws, the ability to think and speak clearly, and an understanding of the duties, responsibilities, rights and privileges of American citizenship.
Ethan was awarded a total of $300.00, from the Winter Post and the Sawyer County American Legion, and will go on to compete in January against winners from 6 other counties in northwestern Wisconsin for further cash prizes. This provides him an opportunity to compete for a $25,000 scholarship at the National level.

November 2025
Noah
Class of 2027
Noah is the son of Patrick and Jennifer Shannon,
has been chosen as the Winter High School Student of
the Month for November 2025.
Noah is currently a junior at Winter High School. He is
dependable, always friendly and always helpful. Noah
is a member of the golf team where he is known for his
long drives and willingness to tolerate any weather
conditions to play the game. He also had leading roles
in the 2024-2025 drama club performances and is
looking forward to the 2025-2026 performance. This
year Noah has also joined the High Quiz Bowl team.
When possible, Noah arrives early to school to assist
with the Science Club. Oftentimes he is there just in
time to help clean up, but he never minds that task.
Mr. Suralski, the High School Social Studies teacher,
says, “Noah is a delightful, hardworking student who is
respectful and friendly towards everyone. In
government class, Noah proved that he knew more
about the Bill of Rights than anyone else in the annual
Bill of Rights bingo game! As his golf coach, I’m very
proud of his effort last year and seeing the enthusiasm he has on every shot gives me a great
deal of pleasure.” Mrs. Lueloff, Winter School District’s Business Education teacher, says,
“Noah is a student that is always positive, asks questions and is ready for any challenge. When
we practiced interviewing in Personal Finance, he dressed up and looked SHARP! He is a
pleasure to have in class!”
Congratulations to Noah for earning Student of the Month for November 2025!
