Holidays at Holgate
Students in Ms. Gross’ class are wrapping up their Descriptive Writing Unit with a creative culminating activity! Working in pairs, students became real estate agents for Reindeer Realty, writing vivid descriptive paragraphs to “sell” their gingerbread houses.

To bring their writing to life, students designed and built their gingerbread houses using cardboard and other materials, focusing on details that matched their descriptions.

On Friday, 6th and 7th grade students will tour the neighborhood and “purchase” the houses that best match the written descriptions. 🎄🏠✏️

Congratulations to this week’s Golden Eagle Athlete of the Week, Kenadi Withers!

Kenadi had a phenomenal first weekend of the basketball season. She sparked the team’s offense in both games on Friday and Saturday and was relentless on the boards, grabbing a total of 16 rebounds over the weekend. On Saturday, she recorded a double-double in the game against Rapid City Stevens. Her effort and energy were noticeable, making her a key contributor to the team’s strong start to the season!
