South Holt R-1 School District

Congratulations to Kameron Noland for receiving 275 Conference 2025 All-Conference 2nd Team in football as a wide receiver!

Good Morning, Please see the attached letter describing the process for the potential of a junior high athletic cooperative with Mound City R-2 School District.

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. Link: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/southholtelementaryschool

🎃It's time for the annual pumpkin decorating contest! Elementary students are invited to disguise a pumpkin as a book character. Entry forms were sent home last week and are due back by Thursday. Prizes awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for each grade level. 🎃

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!

This week our 4th Grade Class worked with our Junior Class. The Juniors assisted our 4th Graders with their understanding of long division. This was a great way to build community between our elementary and secondary students, while supporting our students in a core content area. Great things are happening at South Holt!
