Winona R-III School District

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Timothy James Neal 🎓 Timothy James Neal is the son of James and Paula Neal and the brother of Mat. A senior who keeps it real, Timmy values the simple things in life. He’s a dedicated family man and the proud “Uncle T” to Aleigh, Micah, Ila, Stella, and Warren. When he’s not in the classroom, Timmy can usually be found outdoors, doing what he loves most. Whether it’s fishing, hunting, or hitting the open road on his motorcycle, he’s happiest when he’s on the move. It’s no surprise his favorite quote comes from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” His favorite teacher, Mr. Thacker, stands out for being level-headed and easy to talk to. The last book Timmy read was The Firm by John Grisham, and what he’ll miss most about high school is the “bill-free” lifestyle of being a student. Timmy has a big appetite for life—and good food. While he enjoys Chinese food and mac & cheese, he says he could happily eat steak every single day. After graduation, Timmy plans to head straight into the workforce, with the possibility of earning a vocational certification down the road. He also hopes to one day gather his friends for the ultimate cross-country road trip. As he moves on to his next chapter, Timmy isn’t chasing a fancy title or a long legacy—he simply hopes to be remembered as himself: Timmy. Wishing you success, happiness, and a lifetime of adventure—stay true to yourself, Timmy.

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Kayden Avery Myers 🎓 Kayden Avery Myers is the son of Todd and Delcina Myers, and Kayla Philips. He’s the brother of Nathan and Draven Myers, and Chenoa and Jareth Gasho. Whether he’s out fishing, riding bikes, swimming, or gaming, Kayden enjoys keeping life active and interesting. Throughout high school, one of Kayden’s favorite memories has been simply hanging out with his friends. When it comes to teachers, Mr. Denning takes the top spot. As Kayden put it, “I don’t know why… he just is.” A key lesson he’s learned over the years? “Mind your own business and you’ll be good.” What he’ll miss most about school is spending time with friends and making memories that’ll stick with him long after graduation. When asked for a message to the underclassmen, Kayden offered this bit of wisdom: “Expect nothing and accept everything.” The last book he read was Goosebumps: The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, proving he's got an appreciation for a good thrill. Kayden’s favorite subject is P.E., especially when it involves playing basketball, and in his downtime, he enjoys watching Invincible and Godzilla: King of the Monsters. When it’s time to game, Elden Ring is his go-to. His ideal meal? Chicken Parmesan with curly fries—a classic with a twist. After graduation, Kayden plans to join a construction crew and get to work. He’s already got a strong example to follow—his dad—who he says has influenced him most by showing him what adult life is really like. Not many people know that Kayden used to box, a skill he once practiced with passion. One of the next stops on Kayden’s bucket list is getting aboard a military aircraft carrier, and if he had to eat one meal every day for the rest of his life, it would be chicken and rice with veggies, eggs, and just a little bit of hot sauce. Kayden, your laid-back confidence and no-nonsense attitude will be missed. Wishing you success, strength, and new adventures ahead.

So much fun was had today for the 100th day- Even some teachers got into the spirit. K-1 teachers dressed up as Glam-ma's and the 2nd grade teachers joined in as Century Ladies!

Some 1st grade students celebrated the 100th day of school by dressing up as 100 year olds others had 100th day shirts some with 100 items on their clothes.

Second grade had a blast celebrating the 100th day of school! 🎉 Students got creative by making their own “100th Day Snack,” counting out 100 delicious pieces to enjoy. Learning + fun + snacks = the perfect way to celebrate 100 days of growing smarter! 🍎📚

We celebrated the 100th Day of School in Kindergarten today! 🎉 Students practiced counting to 100 by filling ten frames with Fruit Loops. Such a fun and colorful way to build our number skills! 🍎📚

Winona Elementary Believe it or not, we have been learning and growing for 100 days! To celebrate this milestone tomorrow, March 9th we are inviting all students to dress up like they are 100 years old. Think gray hair, glasses, cardigans, and canes! Or students can wear a creative outfit featuring 100 items. Whether it’s a shirt with 100 stickers, a hat with 100 safety pins, or 100 pom-poms, let’s get counting! We can’t wait to see your "100-style" designs.

🎓 Senior Spotlight: Brennan Neal Naber 🎓 Brennan Neal Naber is the son of Brian Naber and Cassie Naber and the brother of David, Austin, Bree, and Gabe. When he has the opportunity, you can often find Brennan drawing while listening to music—two of his favorite pastimes. For his senior year, Brennan’s main goal is to graduate from high school. After graduation, he plans to take classes in graphic design and pursue a career in the creative field. He hopes to be remembered as someone who was funny and brought laughter to others. His farewell message to underclassmen is, “Don’t take nothing too seriously.” What he’ll miss most are all the laughs and the shenanigans he was a part of during his time in school. The last book Brennan read was Captain Underpants. His favorite teacher is Mrs. Cox because she has always been kind and willing to help. Art has been his favorite subject throughout school. Something not many people know about Brennan is how much he truly loves music. A trip to Wyoming is on his bucket list. His favorite meals are baked mac and cheese and pancakes. If he had to eat one meal every day for the rest of his life, he would choose a Big Mac meal from McDonald’s. Best of luck in everything you do, Brennan!

Mrs. Kim’s class loved having a special guest reader in Kindergarten today! 📚❤️ Our special guest read “If I Ran Your School” by the Cat in the Hat, and our students had so much fun listening and laughing.
