Middle School Adopt-A-Family Gift Wrapping!


Middle School participated in the annual Adopt-a-Family project facilitated by The Dwelling Place. The Dwelling Place is a center to help homeless families in Montgomery County by providing families with a safe and affordable place to live. Each advisory group was given a wish list from a family at The Dwelling Place and the girls bought items together as an advisory group.

All of the advisory groups came together and wrapped gifts in the Dining Room. The gifts ranged from clothing to books to toys for the little ones. Middle Schoolers also wrote personalized cards wishing others in the joy of the holidays. Over twenty-five people consisting of 10 families will receive gifts this holidays all thanks to the community effort from Middle School.

Holton has a Weather Station!

After many hours spent, the Weatherbug weather station on the top of the school is now working! If you want to know exactly how cold you’re going to get during recess, you can just login here and put our zip code into the student field. You can also find out air pressure, humidity, etc. There are loads of informative and interactive activities on it as well.

Class of 2016 Gingerbread House Decorating Contest!


It was stiff competition as the Class of 2016 competed against one another for title of best Gingerbread House. The theme for this year's Gingerbread House competition was "Holton Traditions." The girls were extremely creative and built houses based on traditions like the senior slip and slide, Holton's Mosaic, and even Convocation. It was a great way to bond together and share in the holiday spirit!

Which one do you think was the most creative? You can be the judge below.
