Wilmot High School senior Mya Heinje has been named the Student Council’s "Student of the Month" for August/September. Daughter of Bryce and Paula Heinje, Mya is an Honor Roll of Excellence student, WHS 2024 Homecoming Queen, and a Touchstone Energy Scholar of the Week.
She serves as Senior Class President and Vice President of the National Honor Society, as well as President of FFA, where she has earned several awards. A multi-sport athlete, Mya has competed in varsity basketball, volleyball, track, and High School Rodeo. She also qualified for the National 4-H Shooting Sports Team.
Mya plans to attend SDSU for Ag Business and Marketing.
Last night, our local honor society chapter welcomed eight new members to their group. Our honor society is responsible for many great things in our school, including the annual Vitalant Blood Drive, which was unfortunately cancelled thanks to Mother Nature. Additionally, the program supported the Scholastic Books for Students initiative for grades PK-5, thanks to a generous donation from the Wilmot Alumni Association and the Wilmot American Legion. We distributed over 100 books each month for 8 months.
Our Backpack Program assisted 45 students from Pre-Kindergarten-12, supported by the United Methodist Church in Milbank, generous donations from the Wilmot community, and fundraising efforts from Honor Society members. We also contributed to our community by delivering meals during the Community Meal and assisting with small projects throughout the year. Another mentorship opportunity comes with our Buddy Reader Program in our elementary.
Look for this tomorrow during conferences!
This month's Library Newsletter!
From Attendance Advocate Marla Strei:
Attention Wilmot Families!
If your child is absent from school due to a medical appointment, please ask the medical professional for an appointment confirmation before leaving the appointment location. Providing this document will exempt your student’s absence.
Please submit a simple document with the clinic logo on it stating something like “John was a patient in our office on 10/7/2024.” This document must be signed by a medical professional (Doctor, Dentist, Chiropractor, PA, Nurse, Counselor, Optometrist, Medical Administrative Assistant or other) to be accepted as an excused absence.
All medical facilities provide this type of documentation, so PLEASE ASK for the signed paper and email it to me at school. My email is marla.strei@k12.sd.us. Paper copies turned into Mrs. Goodhart or Mrs. Bronson in the school office are also acceptable documents.
Mrs. Goodhart, Mrs. Bronson and I appreciate your cooperation with this matter as we work to improve our attendance and keep our students in school. If you have any questions, please visit with me during Parent-Teacher Conference Night this Thursday, October 10 at Wilmot School.
Flu Shot Clinic tomorrow from 1-4 in McKenna Hall! If you didn't have your child bring the consent form today, you must bring it in the morning.

Powder Puff football tomorrow!
This post was a little late, but these custodians never are! It's 7:00am and you think you're showing up early for work? They're already here making sure our facilities look great every day! Thank you to our awesome custodians!
In the past thanks to some generous donations we have been able to have free seconds cards at lunch for all of our students. Unfortunately we are very close to our current supply of those running out, it probably won't last through tomorrow. So as soon as tomorrow if your child wants a seconds at lunch he/she will will have to have a seconds card. Seconds cards cost $10 and it will get you about 6 seconds, or if you want to pay they are $1.50 a time.
8th grade science doing a STEM project. A marshmallow catapult. They are learning about force, energy, motion and work. The hot chocolate seems to be a hit with this group!
Your Homecoming King and Queen are Ethan Weber and Mya Heinje!
