Student Shout-Outs
- RWHS Student Section: You are the best!! Thanks for the energy you bring to every event! You all singing our National Anthem so loud and proud is a beautiful thing! -Bray
- Silas Perau: I appreciate your engaged and engergic presence in the classroom. You are especially helpful in suggesting ways for students to engage with AI; your willingness to discuss your ideas (rather than simply using AI for your own benefit) is testament to both your ethics and your generosity, and it enriches the learning environment for everyone. - Mrs. Heineman
- Maddie Melsness, Hallie Johnson, Piper Ryan, Eva Wardle, Miley Clemens, Nora Hanson, Izzy Guetzlaff, Beatrix Lahammer, Reagan Schulz: The students listed are just some of the Student Council members, who are always willing to work hard and make sure our events go well (especially our big events like Snow Week)! We appreciate everything they do to show Winger spirit and make RWHS a great place to be! -Mrs. Roschen
- RWHS Pep Band and Mr. Bina: You bring so much energy to games! Thanks for traveling to Rochester for the Section GBB games. It was awesome to have you there and especially to hear our school song being played so much during such big games with so much of our community there. Fans usually don't get the opportunity to thank you or give you your own applause but I can promise you that you are appreciated! Thanks for sharing your talents and hard work with us! -Bray
- Girls Basketball team: So proud of you. It was such a fun season cheering you on! Hold your head high girls! -Bray
