May Superintendent Notes by Randy Bruer
Superintendent Notes

Carol White Grant at the Win-E-Mac Schools
Our school is taking part in a Carol White (PEP) grant this year with the possibility of continuing for the next 3 years. The purpose of the grant is to enable us to study nutrition and the physical health of our students. We are one of 22 other districts in Northwest Minnesota who are working under this grant. Since January 1st we have taken a BMI (Body Mass Index) baseline sampling of students in grades 5 – 12 and we have completed a statistical analysis of this data. The analysis told us that our students need to eat more fruit and vegetables and exercise more. It also shows a real need to educate students on nutrition and proper exercise habits. This affects all of us who are concerned with sky rocketing health care premiums. The State and National averages for overweight and/or obese students are 33%. Our local percentage is higher than the average.

Win-E-Mac School space considerations
In a recent article by the Associated Press, Minnesota business and local companies are struggling to fill manufacturing jobs. This has some people blaming a decline in high schools' shop class offerings. Shop classes such as machining, welding and robotics are being crowded out, Minnesota Public radio reports. Many parents are under the assumption that in order for their children to earn a degree and get a good job they need to attend a university. However, that may not be the case anymore because we are seeing the need for skilled workers who have the ability to be able to do hands-on tasks such as welding, machining, mechanics, building and manufacturing. Going to college for a shorter period and starting the work force with an average salary of $56,000 seems to be the right career direction for many students. We have a need for several of these occupations right at our doorstep.
Since last year our School Board has been exploring the possibility of adding some classroom shop space as well as a multi-purpose space which would house some of the activities and school events that take place in our facility. This proposed addition combined with our new Nutrition and Physical Fitness incentives will make our Win-E-Mac Community more attractive for families who are looking to relocate. McIntosh, Winger, Erskine and Mentor are in the heart of lakes country and we need to provide the best education, experiences and opportunities possible for our children.
End of Year
It has been a great year for staff and students at Win-E-Mac and we look forward to a productive 2013/2014 learning year for our students. Our fine arts, academic and sporting programs did exceptionally well this year which was proven by numerous appearances at State Competitions. We are fortunate to have many underclassmen who show great promise for the coming school year.
This summer the district will be doing some painting inside the school, fixing the parking lot holes, some sidewalk repair, as well as reviewing some kitchen and music equipment.
