Winger Shout-Outs!
Our RWHS staff would like to do weekly shout-outs to students who deserve some extra recognition. Thanks for showing and sharing your Winger Pride!
-I just love that Jonah Deppe has taken the initiative to provide announcements each morning and offer some POSITIVITY while he does it. Way to Go Jonah! -TBowes
-Shout out to PAC for the talent show that showcased our remarkable students doing what they love. Thank you to the performers for sharing their talent with us! -Mrs. Heineman
-I was so impressed by the talent show put on by our school's Performing Arts Club. I was so surprised when it was over--the time went so fast and there was so much joy on that stage. Thank you to Ms. Shannon and all the students who worked to bring entertainment to our halls. We are grateful to you! -Mrs. Kiefer
-Ethan Freier has been setting a wonderful example in our Language Arts 8 class by being on task and respectful of his peers. Without being asked to do so, Ethan pulls his book out and opens it to the correct page while we are reading, and he is quiet for his peers when they are reading out loud. He also is kind to the student around him in the classroom. -Ms. Kriese
