🇺🇸 West Holt Public Schools Honors Our Veterans 🇺🇸

This morning, West Holt Public Schools had the privilege of honoring our local veterans during our Veterans Day ceremony and had the privilege of listening to West Holt alumni Brittan (Osborne) Bauer share her experiences with us. We extend our deepest gratitude to all who have served and continue to serve our country. Your courage, dedication, and sacrifice protect the freedoms we cherish every day.

Thank you, Veterans — today and always, we honor you. ❤️🤍💙

October 5th through the 11th was fire prevention week and our second-grade students had the privilege of learning about fire safety from our local firefighters.

One highlight was using a thermal imaging camera to locate a firefighter in a simulated dark environment. A heartfelt thank you to these dedicated professionals for their commitment to community safety and education!
