🏃♂️ The Lap Challenge is Back! 🏃♀️
Last month, our elementary PE students took on the Lap Challenge once again—running as many laps as they could in just 5 minutes!
Our 1st–6th graders crushed it with a total of 1,105 laps, which is 124 more laps than in November! 💪
👏 Huge shoutout to Mrs. Long’s 3rd grade class, who led the way with an impressive 13.35 laps per student—just edging out our reigning champs, Mrs. Kunkel’s 5th grade class, who averaged 13.08 laps per student.
Keep up the hard work and determination! When the Lap Challenge returns next school year, your class could be the one on top! 🎉
Rock, Paper, Scissors Showdown!
Right before spring break, the competition was on! Teachers faced off against teachers, and students battled students in an epic Rock, Paper, Scissors contest—all for beads and bragging rights.

In the final showdown… Kristin took the win and earned the title of South Holt Rock, Paper, Scissors Champion! 🏆
Congrats to Kristin and everyone who joined in the fun! 🎉
