Random Lake School District

Youth Apprenticeship Highlight: Opportunities for EVERY student in ALL interests, while finding ways to show students that education can be enjoyable are the main priorities within our Academic and Career Planning at the School District of Random Lake. This week’s YA Highlight is a true example of students seeking careers that support others. This week, we would like to highlight Arianna Adair and Tucker Hiller for the hard work they are putting in balancing their classes at RLHS in addition to their Youth Apprenticeship experience. Arianna, a senior, has a career goal of working as an Event Planner within Hospitality. With her goal set, Arianna has been working with the Plaza Hotel in Milwaukee as a YA assisting with their event planning. Academically, Arianna will earn 5 college credits upon graduation in May. In addition to balancing her courses and YA, Arianna is also a part of the RLHS Concert Choir, she is involved with 4H, and enjoys rodeos in her spare time. Tucker, a senior, has a career goal of becoming a Math or Science teacher. That said, he is one of 3 Education YA's at the School District of Random Lake, and works specifically with our high school Math department. Academically, Hunter will earn 15 college credits prior to graduation in May. When not in the classroom, or mentoring others within Math, you will find Tucker leading the RLHS ESports State Championship team. Two examples of students finding a passion through Academic and Career Planning, enjoying education within their field, making memories in extracurricular activities, and getting an #RLAdvantage before they graduate high school due to their hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work! #StrongCommunityConnections #IndividualizedAcademics #YouthApprenticeship

Bring a Freshman to the Game! Our Freshman Mentor Program is kicking off an awesome initiative to build connections and school spirit!

Exciting news! Our talented Random Lake art students have won this year’s tree-decorating contest at the RL Historical Society! Over 350 students from kindergarten through high school contributed their creativity to make ornaments for our beautiful tree, which celebrates the love of our village. The design features the 18 historical buildings in the village, along with sledders, ice skaters, and pops of black-and-white designs that complete the snowy scene. If you missed it at Night of Lights, you can still admire this masterpiece—and other stunning trees—on December 15 while enjoying the RL Chamber Singers. 🎶✨ Special thanks to Lisa Masslich and Sally Ambrose for sharing this wonderful update with us!

Happy Monday, Random Lake! Check out these upcoming events! #RLADVANTAGE #UpcomingEvents

Youth Apprenticeship Highlight: Opportunities for EVERY student in ALL interests, while finding ways to show students that education can be enjoyable are the main priorities within our Academic and Career Planning at the School District of Random Lake. This week’s YA Highlight is a true example of two students learning skills through 'hands on' experiences within their career interests. This week, we would like to highlight Holton Golke and Hunter Koenig for the hard work they are putting in balancing their classes at RLHS in addition to their Youth Apprenticeship experience. Holten, a senior, has a career goal of working within the realm of Tech Ed, and partaking in 'Hands On' work. With his goal set, Holten has entered his second year as a YA at Lochen Equipment in Newburg, WI, where he is an Ag Mechanic. In addition to balancing his courses and YA, Holten is the Class Officer President of c/o 2025, and is a 3-sport Varsity athlete (Football, Wrestling, Track). Hunter, a junior, thrives in Tech Ed environments! Heavy Equipment Operator is his career goal, and he is able to learn more about the career at his YA through Fromm Family Foods. Academically, Hunter has balanced his core classes while diving into the deep variety of Tech Ed courses RLHS has to offer. Knowledge he has learned in these classes has truly helped him succeed within his YA. Two examples of students finding a passion through Academic and Career Planning, enjoying education within their field, making memories in extracurricular activities, and getting an #RLAdvantage before they graduate high school due to their hard work and dedication. Keep up the great work! #StrongCommunityConnections #IndividualizedAcademics #YouthApprenticeship

A big shoutout to our amazing teachers, counselors, and families for supporting these students every step of the way! #CollegeReady #ClassOf2024 #RLAdvantage

8th Grade Elective Tours for Mrs. Rogers's ACP course have begun! Mrs. Rogers and Mr. Frias have partnered over the past few years to provide 8th graders with tours of each elective offering at the high school. This is a great opportunity for students to ask questions, explore their interests, and meet some of our elective teachers. Some of our Freshman Mentors also joined in on the fun last week, sharing insider tips with the 8th graders. Thank you to our Tech Ed department for showing our 8th graders such wonderful hospitality last week!

On Sunday, November 3rd, Mrs. Grubisic and Mrs. Norlander attended Jeff Kinney’s interactive show at the Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee! Jeff Kinney, the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series, is on tour promoting his 19th book, Hot Mess. Mrs. Norlander, RLSD Library Media Assistant, shared: 'We got a signed copy of the book and enjoyed a fun, interactive experience with audience challenges. Jeff shared fascinating insights about his writing process, including how he starts with jokes and builds the storyline around them—and that his favorite writing spot is a cemetery because it’s distraction-free! What an inspiring and entertaining event!' #DiaryOfAWimpyKid #JeffKinney #RLStaffAdventures
