Congratulations to the Lady Holstein volleyball team on advancing to regionals at BSC. We will take on South Heart on Nov. 9 in the 3rd game of the day. Also, congratulations to Zoe Robinson and Keely Norton on being named to the District 8 All District Team! Good luck at Regionals!
We are incredibly grateful to have been selected to receive the $924,000 Special Community Grant through the New Salem Area Community Foundation. This is an exciting opportunity, and we recognize the generosity and support that have helped bring this project one step closer to reality.
Our hope is to work together as a school district and community to create another place for people to gather, compete, connect, and grow. We know it will take continued teamwork, community input, and support to make this happen, and we are excited to have others join us along the way.
We have created a webpage to share information about the project and provide updates as we move forward. We have also formed community committees to gather input and help guide the many decisions ahead.
We are thankful for everyone who has supported this vision so far. We look forward to working together and seeing what we can accomplish for our children and communities!

Notice to Local Businesses and Community Members
We have received calls from community members who have been contacted by a company called On Time Sports regarding advertising opportunities on T-shirts featuring New Salem–Almont athletics.
We want to clarify that On Time Sports is an independent company and is not affiliated with or representing New Salem–Almont Public Schools or our athletic department.
While businesses are free to participate in these advertising opportunities, we want to make it clear that this is not an official school-sponsored fundraiser.
New Salem–Almont is not afraid to ask for community support when there is a need, but we will communicate those requests directly through official school district channels. If a fundraising or sponsorship request does not come directly from the district, please do not assume it is affiliated with or endorsed by New Salem–Almont.
We simply want our local businesses and community members to have accurate information when making decisions about advertising and supporting our school programs.
We greatly appreciate the continued generosity and support of our community.
Thank you for supporting the Holsteins!
