The golf team had a phenomenal season. They won all of the 9 regular season tournaments they participated in with almost every Husky golfer medaling at each event. The girls were district champions with Daleni earning the individual medalist at districts. The Huskies will bring all 5 varsity golfers back next year and will look to build on the success of this year next season!

In 8th grade math we like to change things up every once in a while. We all get bored with the same routine sometimes, so doing activities like task cards is another way to practice new concepts.

West Students and staff participated in Alumni Day on Wednesday, October 8th. Teachers and Staff (PK-12) displayed a pennant or poster from the school they have a technical, associates, grad, undergrad or any degree from. This provided a chance to brag, tell stories and share with students their experiences when they were in college. It was a great way for students to hear about why it is important to get some sort of post-secondary training/education. Staff promoted all sorts of training – not just 4-year degrees. All training after high school – military, 2-year schools, 4-year schools, apprenticeships were promoted. Students were able to fill out a college trivia sheet to earn a candy bar - provided by the West Holt Booster Club. Questions included what their plans following high school were as well as various questions about college in general.
