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!
-Last week, Samantha Meyer volunteered to help two students that are on crutches and in a wheel chair get their lunches. Samantha is often thoughtful and wanting to be helpful. -Mrs. Oquist
-To my 3rd Quarter 7th grade ART students: This group has been so helpful to each other! Their kindness is amazing, and much appreciated by all. -Mrs. Simonson
-Olivia Mercado is a loyal friend and caring student. I observed her taking time ouf ot her day and schedule to check in on a peer that was visibly upset. She was very enthusiastic and supportive. Thanks Oliva, we need more positive individuals like you in our school! -Kaycee Tulip
-Jared Rivera Torres always has a positive attitude! He works hard everyday in class. Thanks for being a great classmate and teammate to your peers! -Mrs. Mann
-I was lucky enough to have Maurice Rosebear in his freshman year here at RWHS, and he impressed me so much on so many levels: he is kind and polite, passionate and smart, hard-working (one of the most hard working students I know), a good friend, and a strong, dedicated athlete. I know Maurice is going to do many amazing things in his life, and I'm glad to have gotten to know him on his journey. -Ms. Kiefer
-Thanks Ariauna Mullaney for showing WINGER PRIDE each and every day! You are a positive role model for your peers! It is awesome to have you in Advisory and Social Studies! -Mrs. Mann
-Thanks to my Survey of 3D Art students for prepping the clay studio and really doing AMAZING on their first clay projects! Keep up the great work! -Bray
-Last week the math class Lindsey Ward is in had a sub. Once she completed her own assignment (which was completed quite early) instead of being selfish, she went around quietly and helped all of the other students who struggled with the assignment. It put a smile in my heart! -Dannie Flaugh
