🎄⛄ 🪅Holiday Fun

Students in grades 4K through 5th grade indulged holiday sweets and treats paired with jovial holiday themed activities. Many thanks to the parents who volunteered their time, energy, and effort to make the parties a great experience for our students. Our students in grades 6 - 8 also took part in holiday fun by picking a holiday-themed movie and then enjoying concessions while watching the movie with friends. All of the funds raised from purchased concessions - $235.00 - will be donated to the Twin Lakes Food Pantry. (Pictures of the holiday festivities below)

🎁🧸Toy Drive

Randall students participated in a toy drive to support the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern Wisconsin over the last few weeks. Thanks to the generosity of our amazing Randall community and the hard work of our student council, we were able to collect and donate over 170 toys! A special thanks to Randall School alum Jaden Jacobazzi of Unhitched Dumpster Rental for spearheading this fundraiser.

We look forward to working with you and your student(s) throughout the 2025-26 school year. It is my goal to be as clear and supportive as possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at agarcia@randall.k12.wi.us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you again for helping make this holiday season so special. We wish you and your loved ones a joyful, restful, and happy holiday.

Hi Randall families!

Last week we started our EMPATHY topic in Character Strong/Guidance. We've really been focusing on why it's important to care about other people's feelings when they are both happy and sad. We want to celebrate their accomplishments and acknowledge their tough days. It's been so wonderful to see how well they've been catching onto this topic. I told them that empathy is not necessarily a word we hear or use often, but it's something we show every day. :) Next week we will finish up our empathy topic and move onto a new one in January!

In Junior High today, our 8th graders had a great opportunity to have a Q&A session with some high schoolers from Wilmot! We've been talking all week about the different types of questions to ask and things that might be beneficial to know before they start high school in the fall. I found our 8th graders to be incredibly engaged and interested in what the high schoolers had to say. It was a really cool experience to be a part of!

I hope you and your families have a wonderful holiday season together!

Randall School is pleased to announce the launch of the SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT confidential tipline as part of our school safety efforts. Tiplines are used to identify threats to schools, and for concerns impacting school age youth such as bullying, drug use, suicidal thoughts and more. Schools that promote and use tiplines have less violence overall. The SPEAK UP, SPEAK OUT (SUSO) tipline is run by the Wisconsin Department of Justice’s Office of School Safety. Parents and students, this tool is available for anyone to use to help keep the Randall Community safe!

Randall students will engage in learning about how to advocate for their own (and others') safety and well-being over the next month in partnership with our counselor, Mrs. Roth, as well as other members of our student services team. We encourage you to speak with your child about the importance of communicating when/if they feel that their safety may be compromised.

Here is a LINK to an informational flyer about Speak Up Speak Out.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
