Thank you to everyone who came to help with our Second Harvest food drop today. We were able to get food and treats in the hands of community members. The image below shows the number of families and total individuals that we were able to serve today. Please reach out if you find yourself in need of a hand up and we will do our best to help you.
Congratulations to Jorden Piper, Sophia Mendenhall, and Chloe DeBee! These South Holt Cross Country runners qualified for the Missouri State Cross Country Meet this morning. Great job to Coach Morris and all of the SH Cross Country runners at this morning's District Meet.
The decision has been made to release early due to no power. We will be moving up lunch and then releasing students after lunch at 12:15pm today. Please reach out to my cell at 573-415-6858 if you have questions, directions for children or concerns. Thank you, Mrs. Peavler.
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Like many of you, we're concerned about the upcoming delay in SNAP benefits due to the government shutdown. We know this may impact some of our families, and we want you to know that we're here to help however we can.
We are hosting a Second Harvest food drop on Monday, November 3rd starting at 10am and we are moving up our food drive to this month, so it can be distributed through Hope House later this month. Additionally, BTC bank is sponsoring 30 Thanksgiving baskets for families. We still have baskets available, if you family could use the extra help this year.
If your family finds yourselves needing a little extra help right now, please reach out to one of our school counselors. While our resources aren't unlimited, we do have some resources and community connections that might be able to make things a little easier.
If you are a community member or organization that could help families in need, please reach out to the counselors or myself and we will help make the connection or ensure your donation gets to families who need a little extra help.
Please do not hesitate to reach out - we're all in this together. Knights take care of Knights!
Sincerely,
Jean Peavler
Superintendent
Good Morning,
Currently South Holt Schools do not have power and Evergy has an expected restoration time of 10:15am. We are planning to stay in school at this point and have arrangements for lunch. If the decision is made to go home we will communicate that with you. We do not have phone or internet access at this time. Thank you all!
The South Holt R-I School District is holding a food drive from November 3-November 14. Students, staff, and community members may drop off nonperishable food items anytime between those dates. All items will be given to the Hope House in Forest City in time for their November pantry date. A list of needed items is attached below. The grade level with the highest number of donated items will be rewarded with their choice of a pizza party or ice cream party. There will be a PK-6 winner and a 7-12 winner. Thank you for helping us support those in our community who are in need. Reach out to the Elementary Office if you have questions.
South Holt Elementary looks forward to celebrating Halloween with PK-6th Grade students. Students may bring their costumes to school. They will be allowed to change into their costumes in the afternoon. No Halloween make up will be allowed/applied at school. Any parents who plan to attend the costume parade or a class party must sign in at the office and get a visitor sticker. Please reach out to the Elementary Office if you have any questions. Happy Halloween!

Our Kindergarten-3rd Grade students had the opportunity to participate in fun evening events the past 2 weeks. Mrs. Long's 3rd Graders participated in a family game night. This was a great opportunity for families to connect with each other. This week our Kindergarten-2nd Graders had the opportunity to participate in a Halloween themed literacy night. Thank you to the South Holt teachers, parents, and students for coming together for these special events.
📚The book fair is next week! Now is the perfect time to set up an eWallet for your student(s)! Contact Mrs. Anderson with any questions.

Third grade had a fun day on Tuesday. They enjoyed a donut and cider party as a reward for passing 400 I Ready lessons as a class. Many students and their families also attended a game night and enjoyed board games, Bingo and prizes, and playing some Kahoot challenges.
Our preschoolers had so much fun exploring parachute activities this week! They practiced changing directions, switching spots, and working together to make big, colorful waves. Mrs. Allen even talked about why the parachute holds air when they’re under it and they loved being "trapped" inside. Of course, there were plenty of giggles and smiles along the way!
