Class Spotlight: Middle School Auto Smarts, taught by Mr. Ruege

Auto Smarts is a hands-on, confidence-building class that gives middle school students a practical introduction to how cars work—and how to take care of them. Students explore the basics of vehicle safety, routine maintenance, and problem-solving in real-world scenarios.

Through teamwork and critical thinking, this course helps students build valuable life skills and feel empowered long before they ever sit in the driver’s seat.

At Random Lake, we’re always looking for creative ways to bring authentic experiences into our classrooms! Recently, Spanish 1 students put their skills into action by creating their own “tiendas,” where they practiced bargaining using vocabulary from their clothing unit.

Students were assessed on their vocabulary knowledge, as well as their productive and receptive communication skills—and even their ability to think on their feet and communicate in challenging situations.

¡Bien hecho!

Welcome to Flashback Friday! Today we’re heading back to Elementary PE, where Mrs. Traas brought the Winter Olympics to life for her students.

Our young athletes competed in their own Olympic-style events, including curling, cross-country skiing, and skeleton, filling the gym with energy, excitement, and lots of smiles.

It was a fun and creative way to celebrate movement, teamwork, and the spirit of the games—and the students loved every minute of it!
