C. F. Holliday Elementary
Dream, Think, Do! Success is up to you!
"Holliday" Shop opens Monday
The "Holliday" Shop will be open to all students next week. The students will be able to purchase gifts for family members and loved ones during the school day. Please look for the green flyer and white shopping guide that should have come home this last week. The shopping guide will show the items available for purchase. This is a CASH ONLY event that is sponsored by Holliday's PTO.
1st & 2nd Grade Music Program
Come back to school tomorrow, Monday, December 12th for the "Holliday" music program featuring our 1st and 2nd grade students. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the performance begins promptly at 6:30 p.m. The "Holliday" Shop will also be open during this event, from 6:00-7:30 p.m. There is no fee for this event; however, only cash is accepted at the shop.
Canned Food Drive Ends Friday
C. F. Holliday's food drive is in full swing and will run through this Friday. Our goal is to have every homeroom bring in 100 items. This would potentially allow us to donate around 2,000 food items to our local community. This drive allows students to engage in Asset #27, Equality and Social Justice, in which we are placing a high value on promoting equality and reducing hunger and poverty in our community. Thank you for helping our students learn the valuable lesson of helping others.
Brrrrr, It's Cold Outside!
Please keep in mind that it is getting colder outside. Our students will be having outdoor recess unless it is below freezing or raining out. Help to keep them warm in these colder temperatures by reminding them to wear winter coats, as well as gloves, hats and scarves. Remember that they also have to walk to buses or cars, or even walk home in these conditions. Thank you!
Morning Drop Off Reminders
Please remember that ALL students who are dropped off by a car must use the Lamme Road entrance to be dropped off at the side door. The front drive is for school buses and daycare buses ONLY. The buses have had difficulty dropping students off due to the use of the turn lane on S. Dixie, and the drive in front of the building being occupied by students dropped off from cars. Thank you for following this safety procedure. Also, please remember that the doors open at 7:55 a.m. (8:30 a.m. starting January 4th) and that students are going to be outside and unsupervised until that time, and it's getting cold out there!
Changes for C. F. Holliday on January 4th

Second Grade Reading Fun
The 2nd graders in Mrs. Longworth's reading class practiced their fluency with a reader's theater script. They performed a skit about Bob the Reindeer and how he saved Christmas for other 2nd grade students. These students were well rehearsed and put on a great performance!
Third Grade Field Trip Fun
3rd grade classes visited the water treatment plant this week. Look for a video of their experience in next week's newsletter. Stay tuned!!!!
Fourth Grade
In continuation with their projects from earlier in the quarter, 4th grade spent this week making artifacts to bury in their prehistoric Indian mounds. Such thorough work!
