Wilmot School Daycare Fundraiser: Community Meal
See details in the image!
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/
Games tonight start very soon! JH Football at 4:00pm in Wilmot v Waubay-Summit
Then,
JH Volleyball in the gym v Waubay-Summit at 5:00pm, followed by JV at 6:15, then Varsity.
Should be a packed house, plus it's parent's night! See you there!

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.
