Our very own Lucas Griess testified in front of the Nebraska Legislature's Appropriations Committee today to demonstrate support for the Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired.
Lucas did an amazing job of sharing his story and also sharing the benefits he has received from the Commission.
Great Job Lucas!!! West Holt is so proud of you and your courage to be an advocate for those who are blind or visually impaired. You are truly making a difference!

NSAA sent this out, if anyone is interested in nominating anyone from West Holt or Atkinson and need help doing so, please let me know. Thanks
The Nebraska School Activities Association (NSAA) is excited to introduce the Above and Beyond program, a new initiative designed to celebrate the outstanding individuals who make a meaningful impact within their schools and communities. Whether it’s a dedicated student, a selfless coach, an inspiring parent, or a committed community member, this award recognizes those who go the extra mile to uplift and support others.
We need your help in finding and sharing these incredible stories from across the state. For example:
A community member who has taken tickets at every home football game for the past 30 years.
A student-athlete who organizes a fundraiser every year to raise money for the community.
A coach who not only builds champions on the field but also instills lifelong values in their athletes.
A bus driver who starts each morning with words of encouragement, ensuring students begin their day on a positive note.
These are the kinds of inspiring stories we want to highlight and celebrate. Selected recipients will be formally recognized by the NSAA, ensuring their dedication does not go unnoticed.
We invite you to nominate deserving individuals from your school community today! It’s a simple way to give recognition to those who embody dedication, service, and excellence. Nominations are open and won't close! We will begin honoring individuals in April.
📌 Nominate someone here: https://forms.gle/zUnbXS6FGiLSjZMw6
