Good morning, Holt Junior High learning community. Happy Tuesday!

Please join in clapping for Mrs. Heck, who's the newest recipient of the Inspiring Heart Award.

Mrs. Heck is our district's K-12 Math and Science Instructional coach. Mrs. Holtry's video, which you'll find in the comments, notes that Mrs. Heck is where educators go when they need support. Mrs. Heck is just that: an enormous support for Holt Public Schools. We're lucky she chose to be right here (office) at the Junior High, and even luckier that she serves this community.

Congrats, Mrs. Heck!

Families, good morning. Happy Thursday!

We had one amazing day yesterday. Our leadership team launched our PLCs for the ‘26-27 school year, guiding our staff on the vision and planning that will go into our PLTs this year.

The night ended with our Parent Advisory Committee coming together for the first meeting of the school year, and what a launch that was. One of the biggest turnouts ever!

Holt Junior High learning community, we’ve got some amazing humans doing GREAT work.

Have an amazing day!
