From the Desk of Mrs. Adelman
Hi Warwick Bears!
As we approach the long weekend with Valentine's Day and Presidents' Day, I wanted to share one of my favorite books: In My Heart: A Book of Feelings by Jo Witek. You may have listened to this story during our special guest read alouds with my girls, Ella and Olivia, at the beginning of our Winter Reading Challenge. Ella, Liv, and I love everything about this book (the words, illustrations, heart cut outs, and meaning).
This weekend, the girls and I will spend extra time reading, making heart cuts outs for our windows, and I can't wait for Ella to share her thoughts and connections as we read this book and other books together.
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend and can carve out extra family time!

Leukemia & Lymphoma Hero Squad Fundraiser
We are Halfway Through!
We are heading into the second week of participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Hero Squad program! We are so very appreciative of everyone’s support so far – thank you!
Our School Helps Heroes Like 7 Year Old Madelina!
Madelina was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in November of 2014 at 23 months of age. She endured 4 rounds of chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh between November of 2014 and April of 2015. Madelina also endured 5 bone marrow biopsies as well as countless blood and platelet transfusions. As of July 2020, Madelina is considered 5 years cancer free and has moved to the Survivorship Clinic at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.
If you would like to donate to this cause, please follow the Warwick specific link. Warwick Elementary School (lls.org)
Next week our school will participate in a spirit week, please see below!
Holicong 6th Grade Parent Orientation - SAVE THE DATE!
Dear Future Holicong Parents,
Greetings from Holicong Middle School! We are asking you to reserve the date and time of February 16th, 2021 at 7:00 PM for our 6th Grade Parent Orientation. We will be holding the parent orientation that evening through Microsoft Teams and it is open to all parents.
We realize our 6th graders have half of the year left with their elementary schools and want them (and you) to fully appreciate this time and focus on this. If you would like to learn more about Holicong during this time, we invite you to do so by visiting our website and the links below - it does not give an entire picture of who and what we are (but there is a lot to see).
– A variety of video pages for you to “see and hear”!
– Posted daily & weekly.
– Presentations this year are recorded and posted in PowerPoint.
The above links and this communication is just a start. For those of you who have students who have come through Holicong we hope you feel that we pride ourselves on communication with our community…and that we are always looking to improve in every area of what we do.
Please look for a communication in the next few weeks with more specific information for our 6th grade parent orientation. It will look a bit different from past year’s due to our current situation, but I can assure you that we are dedicated to making sure you have all the information you need about the transition to Holicong and what we stand for as a school community.
Thank you!
Kevin Shillingford, Principal
Mike Canelli, Assistant Principal
…on behalf of the entire Holicong Faculty & Staff
