Our Husky Hustle Glow Run event last Friday was so much FUN! All students participated in the different station rotation were they ran, bear-crawled, hopped and crab-walked through different obstacle courses and tracks as the gym was transformed into a glow fun area! This event was made possible by an amazing team of parent volunteers!!
The support from our Holland families (those that live in Katy and extended family from around the world), community and business partners during our Husky Hustle Fundraiser is truly appreciated! We are excited to announce that we met and exceeded our $25,000 goal!!! We will be scheduling the "Sliming of the Principals" event where our huskies will see the Principals get slimed! Thank you so much for your generosity!! PTA will use the funds raised to support our campus events, programs and enchance our playground equipment.

REFLECTIONS - Arts in Education
Reflections Submissions Due NOV 4, 2022!
Explore the Arts and Express Yourself
National PTA has a long-standing commitment to arts education. The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Each year, over 300,000 students in Pre-K through Grade 12 create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (Pre-K - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Middle School (Grades 6-8), High School (Grades 9-12), Special Artist (All grades welcome).*
Students submit their completed works of art in one or all of the available arts categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
