South Holt students in PK-12th Grade met on Friday afternoon with their Family Pods. The focus for Friday was "Enthusiasm." Students played BINGO and had the chance to work as a team to complete some relay events. There was a lot of laughter from both students and staff. This was a great event to increase enthusiasm and connect students and staff across all grades.

Forest City Baseball Field Update!

The rest of the baseball field will have a new fence thanks to a partnership with the City of Forest City and so many community members. The community members and businesses below helped contribute and we want to express our thankfulness to all of them. The fencing and dug outs at the Forest City Baseball Field will be completed before our first home game. We are very thankful for a great community that supports our students.
