Check out this great opportunity sponsored by the South Holt PAT and Preschool. We welcome all of our local families of early childhood students to participate in this event.
Last week, 1st–6th grade students participated in a Lap Challenge during PE! Each class had 5 minutes to run as many laps as possible, and the class with the highest average laps per student earned the title of Fastest Class in Elementary School!
In total, 89 students ran an impressive 981 laps! 🎉
A big congratulations to Mrs. Kunkel’s 5th grade class, who took the top spot with an average of 12.42 laps per student! 🏆👏
We’ll see if anyone can beat their record when the Lap Challenge returns in March! 💪🌟
This is the last week to donate food items for South Holt's food drive. Donated items may be dropped off at the school, or sent to school with a student. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far. Please reach out to one of the South Holt offices if you have questions.
South Holt is celebrating local Veterans tomorrow. All Veterans are invited to breakfast, followed by an assembly in the gym. The Veterans Day Assembly is open to the public. Please sign in in the high school office if attending the Veterans Day Assembly.

Parents, Students and Community Members,
Below you will find the link to the Junior High Athletic Cooperative Survey. The deadline for filling out the survey will be Friday, November 14th at 10:30 am. Survey results will not be accepted after this time. We will also have hard copies of the survey that can be picked up in the Junior High/High school office. All hard copies must be returned to the Junior High/High School office by the deadline listed above.
During the school day on Tuesday, November 11th, students in grades 6-12 will have an opportunity to fill out the survey. This will not be a requirement, but simply an option. Elementary aged students are encouraged to fill out the survey as well, but will not have the option while at school.
In order to respect the integrity of the survey, we ask that only members of the South Holt community fill out the survey. We ask that individuals fill out only one survey. Once the deadline has been reached, the results will be shared with the school board members for their review prior to the school board meeting. The meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 19th at 7:00 pm. If you have further questions, feel free to contact me at peavlerj@southholtr1.com or at 660-446-2282.
