Due to a scheduling mishap in Henry, the 5th & 6th grade basketball game is now cancelled. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause! If you know anyone that does not have sportsYou, Facebook, or receives notifications from the school, please feel free to share.
There will still be practice for both boys and girls after school today.
Over the past couple years Dan Meyer has been a huge help to our golf program in Wilmot. His donations of $2000 to our program have allowed the team to purchase much needed gear and apparel. Dan donates in honor of family members- golfing is a family passion for them. This is one way that he can use what he has to continue to support programs like golf in Wilmot, spread the love of the sport, and honor the struggles of his daughter and her family as they have navigated some tough times in recent years. Thanks, Dan!!
Veteran's Day Celebration in the Gym on Monday at 9:00am.

Dear Parents/Guardians/Fans,
The SDHSAA is attempting to gather the economic impact data of our state events for the purposes of engaging local chambers of commerce to explore ways to keep costs to families down and to explore cost saving avenues for our member schools. We started this last year with state volleyball and will end it this fall with state football. Your responses are confidential and are anonymously compiled within the IMPLAN Economic Impact computer program. No identifying data will be asked of you or used within the study. We appreciate you taking the time to help us with this undertaking. Your feedback is necessary and appreciated. If possible, please take the survey as soon after your event as possible, as our IMPLAN license runs out shortly after the fall season.
The survey can be accessed at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DS7TQNX
Congratulations to these senior football players for making the ECC All Conference team! Jaxen Dockter made honorable mention and Keitrick Genia made the team!

Who Sings in The Choir and What Do They Like?
In an attempt to learn more about her students, Mrs. Ammann, the K-12 Choral Director asked her 5th through 11th Grade Choir students to design a T-Shirt that would share information such as favorite movie, film or tv show, subject in school, place, book, color, sport and their name age and year in school. The assignment quickly turned into a competition for Wilmot Bucks and the students put a great amount of effort into designing their shirts. A panel of teachers judged the designs that were turned in for the competition and selected the following students for the winning designs:
1st Place – Evangeline Rockwood – 8th Grade
2nd Place - Sophie Ammann – 5th Grade
2nd Place – Teagan Ammann – 5th Grade
3rd Place – Hannah Weber – 8th Grade
Honorable Mention 5th Grade Choir – Konner Wynia
Honorable Mention 6th Grade Choir – Haylie Hansen
Honorable Mention 7th – 11th Grade Choir – Daphne Anderson
Check out the details and the creativity that secured the winning spots by these students and get to know just a few of our choral singers at Wilmot School.

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.
