West Holt Public Schools

Happy U.S. Constitution Day! Thanks to the seniors for singing the preamble this morning.

West Holt will be hosting a Career/Job Fair on Friday, November 14th from 8-11:30AM. If you or your business would like to help guide West Holt students in researching careers, please contact Mrs. Ruppert. Come share your invaluable knowledge and experience with our 9th-12th grade students.

Homecoming schedule for Friday!
**Those attending Coronation, please note the time change this year.
**7-12th grade students are decorating homecoming floats for a parade. We encourage the public to join in the fun and watch! Please steer clear of the road between the highway and school as that is where the elementary students will be watching.

Did you know that just 20 minutes of independent reading a day can lead to a 39% boost in reading achievement? What an amazing reminder of the power of reading!

This Patriot’s Day, students at West Holt Public Schools took time to honor and express heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated public servants—past and present—who protect and serve our community.

Many of these individuals are deeply rooted in our students’ lives as parents, grandparents, relatives, neighbors, and friends. Among those in attendance from our local volunteer Fire and Rescue Department were Boyd Mitchell, Travis Schmitz, Tori Peterson, Michael Sholes, Tasha Gentele, Jon Wolf, and Matt Ketteler.

We’re also proud of our current students—AJ Pospichal, Jamison Slaymaker, Lane Keogh, Austin Keogh (not pictured), and Alex Gotschall—who are already stepping up to serve through the Junior Cadet program.

Community service runs strong at West Holt. Volunteers include girls basketball coach Randy Bilstein, superintendent Paul Pistulka, and school board members Scott Gotschall and Kelly Jelinek (not pictured).

Their commitment and example remind us all of the importance of service, sacrifice, and community.
