West Holt will no longer attend the Valentine Ice Breaker Speech meet on Saturday, 1/18/25.
Aila Nowlin, a sophomore at West Holt has been chosen to attend the HOBY (Hugh O’Brien Youth Leadership) Conference this summer. Aila will attend the conference in Hastings at Central Community College from May 30th-June 1st.
Some info about the conference -“At HOBY, we believe all students have the potential to lead. Our seminars bring students together across different backgrounds, cultures, and communities. We help students discover a newfound sense of awareness, confidence, connection, and purpose. Our seminars are proven to cultivate personal growth and inspire action. Students leave HOBY with the knowledge and passion needed to make a positive impact on the world around them. Being a part of the HOBY community unlocks a world of opportunities and connections beyond our seminars.”
Art 1/2 Students have been working on their scratch art projects. These projects can be challenging because you feel like you are working backwards, you need a lot of patience and control, and you can't erase your mistakes, but I think they are rising to the challenge!
What an awesome experience! Thanks to Michael Stepp of Handlebend for giving a tour and telling his story to the West Holt Personal Finance classes. We even got to watch him make a copper mug and several students got to have conversations with him while we enjoyed some coffee. Some of these students will be competing in the Holt County Economic Development Youth Entrepreneurship Challenge and got some great advice in starting their own businesses.
