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!'

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 from very different areas of interests finding their niche within our YA programming, and enjoying learning!
This week, we would like to highlight Ethan Keller and Krystiana Vanden Heuvel for the hard work they are putting in not only in the classroom, but also within their Youth Apprenticeship and Extracurricular Activities.
Ethan, a senior, expressed a career aspiration within the trades during his sophomore SCoPE Meeting with Mr. Frias. With his goal set, Ethan balanced his core classes with as many tech Ed classes as possible within his first three years at RLHS. Due to his hard work and determination, he is now able to attend RLHS for his few remaining core classes, followed by his apprenticeship at AGI Fabricators for most of the day. Ethan will also graduate with 6 college credits through our dual-credit partnership at LTC. When not in the classroom, Ethan can be seen under the 'Friday Night Lights' playing for the RLO Football team in the fall.
Krystiana, a senior, has a passion for music and education. With the goal of one day becoming a teacher/band instructor, Krystiana has dove into our Education YA program through the School District of Random Lake. During the day, she spends time with our 'young rams', and assists some of our teachers at the elementary level. One-on-one work, small group connections, and assisting on the playground are just a few of the things Krystiana does on a daily basis. From an extracurricular standpoint, Krystiana is involved with the musicals/plays, band, and FBLA.
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!

Mrs. Weeks' American Wilderness Science classes had a wonderful day at The Highlands Hunt Club in Cascade, WI. After getting certified in WIDNR hunter safety, students spent the day shooting trap, with some also having the opportunity to harvest pheasants. Students learned where food comes from, how hunting aids in funding conservation efforts, and how to properly use firearms as a tool for harvest.
A special THANK YOU to Safari Club International - Wisconsin Chapter for sponsoring this event each year and providing students with an opportunity they may not have had otherwise!
Alumni Youth Apprenticeship Highlight
Youth Apprenticeship success is exemplified by Gavin Jacque, Class of 2023. Gavin’s passion for welding led him to participate in our YA program during his senior year, where he took his skills to Cost of Wisconsin Inc. and excelled. Throughout high school, he also earned 12 college credits in welding at Lakeshore Technical College through our Start College Now program.
Gavin now works at Synergy Manufacturing Services in Grafton, specializing in welding and metal fabrication. Keep up the great work, Gavin!

Youth Apprenticeship Highlight
The weather may be shifting, but our youth apprentices keep grinding away and finding enjoyment out of their hands-on educational experiences.
This week, we would like to highlight McKenzie Machin and Daniel Becker for the hard work they are putting in not only in the classroom, but also within their Youth Apprenticeship and Extracurricular Activities.
McKenzie, a senior, has a career ambition to work as a Child Psychiatrist. Her passion for working with youth, and their behavior patterns has motivated her to dive into an Education YA here at Random Lake. During the day McKenzie spends a few periods a day working with our elementary students at the School District of Random Lake, and interacts with them in the classroom, on the playground, and in one-on-one settings. She is one of three Education YA's at Random Lake HS. When she is not interacting with our 'young rams', McKenzie is taking a rigorous course load at the high school that includes AP, CAPP and Start College Now courses. In her free time, she runs track, volunteers locally at the Historical Society, and plays in the high school band. Creditwise, McKenzie will graduate with just under 20 college credits in May.
Daniel, a senior, enters his 2nd year as a youth apprentice at Oldenburg Metal Tech. At Oldenburg, Daniel works within the tool and die department, as well as some heavy equipment operating. A day in the life of Daniel starts and ends on the family farm, while balancing his school work and youth apprenticeship hours between sunrise and sunset. As a result of his hard work, he has earned an opportunity for a full-time job after high school. Mastering every tech Ed course we offer at RLHS, Daniel is now looked at as a leader within our Industrial Enterprise (Project Grill) course. Although soft-spoken, Daniel's leadership skills are showcased daily in everything that he does.
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!
