The 9th & 10th Grade English students studied caricatures with our literary terms. What better way to learn about caricatures and the importance of descriptive details in our writing than creating caricatures of ourselves using AI generators?! We had many laughs once our results came through. Can you guess who any of these characters would be?
Sophomores will take the PreACT on Wednesday, March 26th. Students will return to school following testing.

West Holt Elementary School participated in the 2025 Share the Magic Foundation READBowl, a global reading competition for grades PreK-8th grade. It is designed to inspire students to read and provides teachers with the support to motivate students to increase reading minutes. Share the Magic Foundation was founded by Super Bowl Champion and children’s book author, Malcolm Mitchell. The READBowl began on January 13th and ended Super Bowl Sunday. Preschool-6th Grade read a total of 193,455 minutes averaging to about 904 minutes per student. We had a friendly competition to see which grade level could read the most minutes. In 3rd place, with a grand total of 31,820 minutes was the 4th grade class. In 2nd place, with an amazing 32,843 minutes was the 2nd grade class. Our 1st place champions, reading an impressive 33,456 minutes was the 3rd grade class. A huge congratulations to each and every one of our students for working so hard and making this reading challenge a success! Keep turning those pages and discovering new adventures—because every minute you read makes you smarter, stronger, and more amazing!
Students in English classes read Articles of the Week. The students then write opinion-based responses. This week's article focuses on a school district that allows its students to be a part of choosing foods the school serves. A part of the program is trying different foods one may not usually try. The students got to try edamame, and all agreed that they'd enjoy having a program like this.
The Branding Barn has added a new color shirt for girls state wrestling if you would like to change shirt colors they will allow you to do so.
Junior High students were doing leg lifts to work on their core strength as part of their daily warm up in PE today. This is a small part of the dynamic warmup up they do every day in class.
