GO WILDACTS!
On November 15, our "Helpful Hands and Helpful Hearts" speakers, Julie Morris (with her dog, Lucy) and Raylene Wallace (with her dog, Boo) ended our theme of community service with a BIG SPLASH! They presented to our little Wildcats about the importance of therapy and service dogs. They explained that sometimes we need assistance and dogs with special training can provide us with much needed support.
Julie read to our students the book, "AJ the Three-Legged Dog Goes Hiking" discussing all of the things that tripod (three-legged dogs) are able to do.
Raylene and Boo showed the students a few tricks that Boo has learned like shake, high five, roll over, stand, and spin. Raylene said that Boo knows around 25 different tricks.
To top it off, each student had the opportunity to pet Lucy and Boo at the end of the session.
Thank you, Julie and Raylene, for educating our students about the different ways in which dogs (and other animals) can be helpful to us. Having Lucy and Boo as our guests definitely brightened everyone's day (including the adults)!
Fifth graders have spent the last two weeks learning about the history and importance of Veterans Day. They read the book America's White Table by Margot Theis Raven and Mike Beeny. Students set up a white table to honor our veterans and added the names and pictures of veterans they knew. They learned about Danny Perterson and walked over to look at the mural painted in his memory. Fifth graders were excited to be able to go to the parade on November 11th to show their support. Thank you to all our Veterans!

Today, Dr. Nikki Meerpohl presented to our little Wildcats about the importance of keeping our eyes healthy by going to the eye doctor. She explained that some people need help seeing up close and some people need help seeing at a distance. If people have difficulty seeing, eye doctors can help us by giving us different lenses that help us see better.
Dr. Meerpohl also showed the students an eye chart that we might read with numbers, letters, or pictures when we come see the eye doctor. That information helps the eye doctor determine how well we can see things.
She explained the iris part of the eye and then had the students look at a classmate's eyes to determine the color. Then she demonstrated how the pupil part of the eye functions by using a flashlight.
Dr. Meerpohl also read, "Maisy Goes to the Eye Doctor" to the students which is always a big hit! Thank you, Dr. Meerpohl and all of our doctors, physician's assistants, specialists, etc. who help all of us with our health and well-being. All of you are constantly serving others!

Great Job Wildcat Scholars!
Today, November 12, Nikki Jenner from Denison State Bank spoke to our little Wildcats at Holton Early Learning (PreK) about the importance of saving money. Nikki explained how there are many jobs at a bank and that she is responsible for opening accounts. She talked about the difference between a checking and a savings account.
She also showed the kids all the different coins and explained how much each coin was worth. She told them about bank accounts and putting their money in the bank to keep it safe. She even gave each student a piggy bank to take home!
To finish, she read the book, "Curious George Saves His Pennies" and one little boy excitedly responded, "That was a GREAT book!" What a wonderful way to blend reading with the life lesson of saving money.
Thank you, Nikki and all of our bankers, cashiers, managers, investors, accountants, etc. who help us budget, manage, and save -- definitely exemplifying having "helpful hands and helpful hearts."
On Monday morning, November 11, Spencer Baum (a.k.a Bennett's dad) and Lucas Lovvorn presented to our young Wildcat learners at Holton Early Learning Center. They explained to the students how they mostly remodel kitchens. They showed them the tools in their tool belt: hammer, tape measure, screwdriver, square, and level. They explained what each tool did and that they carry them in their tool belts because they are the tools they use the most. Afterward, they took the students outside and let them use a tool -- hammering nails into a board. Then they let the students walk through their trailer to see all of their bigger tools.
Thank you, Spencer and Lucas, for taking some time to spend with our young Wildcats to share how you help our community. We have many construction workers throughout our community performing amazing work for others -- another wonderful service.
