Middle school and high school students from Winter recently traveled to Hayward to take part in an impactful presentation led by Officer Gomez. The presentation focused on important and timely topics, including social media safety, the risks of fake accounts, sexual abuse awareness and healing, suicide prevention and healthy habits, the dangers of vaping, and how to make positive choices in challenging situations.
Officer Gomez shared real-life stories and practical strategies to help students better understand the consequences of their actions, recognize warning signs, and support one another. A key message throughout the presentation was that everyone has their own story, and that seeking help, building healthy habits, and making informed decisions can shape a stronger future.
We are grateful for the opportunity for our students to join Hayward in this meaningful learning experience and continue building awareness, resilience, and responsible decision-making skills.

The Winter Athletic Programs would like to extend a huge thank you to Cal’s Tuscobia Tavern for another incredibly generous donation. This marks their third meat raffle, and each one has topped the last. They most recently raising an impressive $1,614. Their continued support means a great deal to our athletes, coaches, and community.
The funds from this raffle will be used for a larger, big picture item that will benefit all athletic programs moving forward. Athletes and administration are currently discussing the best options to make the most meaningful impact.
We are truly grateful for Cal’s ongoing commitment to our school and our student-athletes.

Important information about the upcoming Regular Board of Education Meeting and Informational Letter about the upcoming referendum.
The High Quiz Bowl team rounded out their virtual season last night with a win. Quiz Bowl is similar to a trivia contest, where students are asked a series of questions on various subjects they learn about in High School. This season the team went 5-4-1 and placed 6th out of 14 teams. The teams that placed ahead of Winter are overall considerably larger than our school. Because our students are involved in so many activities, many matches we had just 2 participants (teams are allowed four). The team will round out the season with an in-person competition in mid-March. Nice job, Quiz Bowl!
This week in Phy Ed, our students have been bringing the Olympic spirit to life!
Each class has been learning what the Olympics are, exploring different Olympic events, and discussing the history and traditions behind them. After learning about the events, students then get the chance to participate in their own PE-friendly versions.
This week’s featured events were speed skating and downhill skiing, giving students a fun and active way to experience winter Olympic sports while building movement skills, teamwork, and excitement for global competition.
Students who are not actively competing are encouraged to cheer from the stands for their favorite “countries”.
It’s been great to see and hear students learning, moving, and cheering each other on just like real Olympians!
We even had a guest Zamboni operator come in and ensure that our competition surface was in tip top shape with some help from a student.
Happy Opening Ceremonies tomorrow!
