Elevate 2025 is off and "rolling"! Our first lesson this year was on potential and kinetic energy. Students constructed cars and we've discovered that the current designs are either too heavy or that the "engines" are insufficient in generating the necessary force. We will refine our designs and see what happens!

Attention 3rd-6th grade girls: Girls on the Run begins on Tuesday, March 11th, from 3:30-4:45! If you would still like to sign up, use the QR code below!

West Holt Public Schools will not be having classes on Thursday (3/13) and Friday (3/14) of next week. We hope to have as large of a crowd as possible down in Lincoln to support the boys basketball team and the coaches! Have a great weekend!

For the last couple of weeks, the junior high students have been writing their persuasive speeches. To help us out, two high school speechsters gave their persuasive speeches for the 7th grade class. Senior, Lily V. performed her persuasive speech on the value of travel, and sophomore, Jacob P. explained the benefits of learning a foreign language.

Megan Huber 8:45 AM (1 hour ago) to Megan Congratulations on qualifying for the 2025 NSAA Boys Basketball Championships! New this year, Pinnacle Bank Arena is handling ticketing at their venue through Ticketmaster. This means that you will receive your session tickets for your supervisors from Ticketmaster for all games at PBA. You must have a Ticketmaster account to access and transfer these tickets. The people you are transferring tickets to also must have a Ticketmaster account. If you already have a Ticketmaster account linked to a different email address, please let me know no later than 3pm FRIDAY (3/7), so that we can use that email to send your tickets to. If I don't hear back from you by 3pm, we will use the address you received this email at to send the tickets to. The Pinnacle Bank Box Office will begin sending tickets out Saturday evening. Once they have sent your tickets, they will also send you an email with how to access and transfer them. **NOTE: If you play at Devaney or in the 3rd Place Game, those tickets will come from GoFan still. **Please share this ticket information found on our website with your fans.** If you have any questions, please let me know.

We are so excited for the boys basketball team and want this upcoming week to be about them! But, with spring break and Husky help day on Monday, we know there will be questions about practice schedules and other things that 70+ kids will need to know and we won't see a lot of them until after school next Monday. While we are waiting to see how things play out, please use the following website for track updates: https://whps.info/track The kids were given business cards like this on Monday at practice, and while we are sure they are all hanging on their refrigerators at home, here is a digital copy. The website will be updated as we know more. GO HUSKIES!

West Holt Public Schools will have a 10am late start tomorrow, Wednesday, March 5th. No morning preschool. Please drive carefully!!
