How did you learn how to type? Fourth graders are reinforcing their knowledge of which fingers are used for each key in a collaborative way. Using the program Quizlet, students have to work together to decide who has the right answer in their team! "It's your ring finger? On the left hand or right hand?"
The History Club will be selling RADA knives! The history club raises money for cool history trips and if a student makes it to national history day in Washington D.C. we support them. If you are interested contact the school and ask for Mr. Piechowski or contact Lorn Harstad, Addison Heinje, Rylie Metz, or Natalie Thaden.
The Humanity Launch is coming to Wilmot on Wednesday, November 13 to lead our high school and middle school students in retreats.
The Humanity Launch is a regional company that worked with over 14,000 students in Iow, South Dakota, and Minnesota last year. The students will participate in The Humanity Launch’s “Be a Light” retreat where the focus is on making a difference in home, school, and community. The lessons include courage, vulnerability, you are not alone, overcoming our fears, learning how to listen and ask good questions, and how to treat yourself and others better. The students will hear stories about the themes and have time for group and one-on-one conversation. Activities are interspersed to keep the energy and pace fast moving and fun. We hope that you will strongly encourage your child to actively participate in their retreat.
Dr. Gregg Talcott and Kim Bartling are life-long educators from South Dakota. They come from different scholastic backgrounds and experiences; yet, share one thing: a passion for inspiring and challenging educators and students. The Humanity Launch was created to serve that vision of building and maintaining positive school culture.
Learn more about them at TheHumanityLaunch.com Parents and community members are welcome to attend any portion of either retreat.

Wilmot School Daycare Fundraiser: Community Meal

Eighth grade students participated in a health career camp today in Sisseton.
The Wilmot School District is pleased to announce that we will be joining the Farm to School Program this year. The purpose of this program is to provide locally grown and sourced beef for our students. We would like to thank Bryce and Paula Heinje for donating the first beef and Bob & Heidi Pelzel for being the second family to donate. The processing will be done through The Meathouse in Andover, SD. We are in the process of estimating how many heads of beef will be needed but believe this will be 2 to 3 annually. With that, the school is looking for additional beef donors along with those who would assist us with the processing fees. If you are interested in donating beef or assisting the school with the processing fees, please contact Becky Thaden at 605-938-4647 or Wilmot.kitchenstaff@k12.sd.us https://doe.sd.gov/farmtoschool/
