Student of the Month: January 2025 Naima Burt, Class of 2025 Naima Burt, daughter of Lucas Burt and Crystal Van Winkle, has been selected as the Winter High School Student of the Month for January 2025! Naima is a senior who is currently exploring her college options and has already applied to several schools. She hopes to continue pursuing her passions for track and field and music in college. In school, Naima is a quiet but exceptional student, consistently performing at a proficient level. She particularly enjoys assignments and projects that involve logic and numbers. Naima has also excelled in welding classes offered through the Tech Ed department. Throughout her time at Winter High School, Naima has been active in volleyball, basketball, track and field, and forensics. Her hobbies and interests are diverse—she shines in track and field, especially in the long jump, and is an outstanding musician. Naima plays the piano and other percussion instruments at a level that surpasses most high school students. She has performed at conference honors band concerts, UW-Superior’s Tri-State Honors Band, and the WSMA State Solo and Ensemble festivals. Outside of school, Naima enjoys fashion design and has created and sewn many impressive dresses and clothing items. Naima’s teachers speak highly of her dedication and character: Mrs. Lueloff, the Winter School District Business Education teacher, says, “Unfortunately, I do not have Naima in any of my classes this year. However, I see a driven young woman determined to succeed. She is funny and focused on achieving her dreams. I’m excited to see what her future holds.” Mr. Suralski, the Winter High School Social Studies teacher, says, “Naima takes great pride in her work. I had the pleasure of helping her complete a research project on the Vietnam War, using her grandfather, Richard Burt, as a primary source. This project was deeply meaningful to Naima, and it was heartwarming to witness the personal connection take shape.” Mr. Kolodzinski, the Winter High School English teacher, shares, “Although I only had Naima in a college-level course during the first trimester, I’ve seen her dedication to self-improvement and her commitment to achieving her goals. I’m looking forward to having her in Sci-Fi & Fantasy next trimester.” Congratulations to Naima Burt on being selected as Winter High School’s Student of the Month for January 2025!

Please join us tonight at 5:00 in the auditorium. The drama club will be presenting the play of Christmas with Paulie. Entry is $5. This play is written by our very own Mr. Albertson, Sabreena Kling and Lillian Heizler. Paulie Delicroce is a capo with Al Capone's Chicago Outfit, and leader of a crew which smuggles cacti from Ontario to Chicago via Minnesota's North Shore. The United States Coast Guard, ever wiser to Paulie's smuggling operation has begun to intercept the deliveries, leaving Paulie with nothing to profit from. Still owing money to Al Capone, Paulie has resorted to not only smuggling, but also to burglary. On the 18th of December 1929, Paulie's luck runs out when he is arrested by the Grand Marais Police Department and charged with Felony Burglary and violation of the Volstead Act. He is booked into the county jail-a small, single cell int eh middle of the Sheriff's Department-and spends his time interacting with the Sheriff's Department Staff, including department secretary Anna Dotts, who records the events in her diary.

Unfortunately, there will be no open gym tonight. Please spread the word!

Please use the following link to sign up your children. Northwoods Dental Clinic will be on-site on January 2nd, 2025. The link provided will direct you to the required consent form. Thank you all so much! https://sealasmile.wisconsin.gov/Consent/Home/About

Yesterday, December 12th some of the high schoolers were able to attend Northwoods Technical College for Dental Day! It was so cool being able to be one of the biggest attendees at the event. This event was encouraging, not just for our students that want to go into the dental field, but for anyone that is still curious about what they want to do. Even Mrs. Lueloff got to play!

Youth apprenticeships allow students to gain real-world experience in their chosen field. This practical approach provides them with the skills and knowledge needed to perform tasks effectively in a professional environment. We are proud to be having this experience for our students! Thank you Mercedie and Arianna for bringing your work into our school!
