Our fifth-grade students recently completed an exciting project where they researched a National Park or famous landmark and brought their learning to life by creating detailed dioramas.
From the Hollywood Sign and the Golden Gate Bridge to the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone, and the D-Day Memorial, students explored the history, geography, and significance of these iconic places. The creativity, research, and effort put into each project truly highlight the students’ hard work and curiosity about the world around them.

Students in Mr. Last’s class turned up the heat in the kitchen by preparing a delicious batch of homemade chili to celebrate National Chili Day! 🍲

I have often shared that I love serving as Superintendent in Random Lake so much that it would take an extraordinary opportunity for me to even consider stepping away. I have said that not to keep doors open, but as a reflection of how deeply honored I am to do this work alongside our students, families, staff, and community each day. Leading in Random Lake has never felt like “just a job.” It has felt like a shared purpose and a commitment to something bigger than any one of us.
Today, I was announced as one of two finalists for the Superintendent position with the Green Bay Area Public School District. I have not been offered the position, and the process is still underway. However, I wanted you to hear this news directly from me.
Green Bay is the third-largest district in Wisconsin and the 70th largest in the nation. When I was encouraged to apply, I honestly believed the work of a smaller district might not stand out in that process. What became clear is that the work happening in Random Lake does stand out. The systems we have built around Strong Classrooms, Strong Culture, and Strong Community Connections reflect a disciplined, student-centered approach that prepares young people for college, career, and community life. Being considered for this opportunity is truly a reflection of the collective work of our staff, our students, and our families.
I understand that news like this can create questions or uncertainty. Please know that nothing changes today. The position, if offered and accepted, would begin on July 1, and there are still important steps remaining in the process. Regardless of the outcome, Random Lake is strong because it is built on shared leadership, dedicated educators, supportive families, and a committed community. Our success has never depended on one individual.
As always, I will communicate openly as updates unfold. I remain deeply grateful to serve in a district I care about so much, and I am proud that the work happening here is being recognized beyond our community.
Thank you for continuing to build something special together.
Dr. Michael E. Trimberger Jr.

On February 7, the Random Lake Mock Trial team competed at the Regional competition held at the Brown County Courthouse. Students prepared the case Kazoo v. Wisconsin Ostrich Farm and Fun, Inc, in which Kazoo alleges she was attacked by an escaped ostrich and is seeking damages from the farm.
The regional competition consisted of four rounds, with Random Lake arguing both the plaintiff and defense sides twice.
Representing the plaintiff were attorneys Zach F. and Griffin D., with witnesses Ella R., Mason C., and Danna G. Representing the defense was attorney Anabella B., with witnesses Lena S., Liam P., and Selah W.
The team is fortunate to have Random Lake alumnus Jacob Birenbaum serving as its attorney coach.
Throughout the day, students grew in confidence while sharpening their questioning techniques and objection skills. Great job, Rams!
