Message from Mrs. Jones
This week we started the SEASON of GRATITUDE at Mount Holly. We know how important it is to show gratitude, but we want to pay particular attention during the month of November. As we gear up for the Thanksgiving Break, each staff member and student were given 1-2 Gratitude/Thank-you cards. During the month, each staff and student will give a gratitude card with a message of thanks to anyone in our school. We're spreading a SEASON of GRATITUDE all throughout Mount Holly Elementary School!
Monday, November 11, 2019, we will share an ATTITUDE of GRATITUDE to ALL Mount Holly Elementary School Parent/Family Members and Community Members that are Veterans. Please join us for our Veterans Day Parade at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, November 11, 2019. Just a reminder - ALL staff and students should wear RED, WHITE & BLUE.

A Season of Giving
Soda Can Tab Collection Nov. 7th through Nov. 25th
Owen Beasley (a Mount Holly student) has a cousin, Sam Clack, who is 10 years old and in the fifth grade at Old Pointe Elementary. He was diagnosed with a Medulloblastoma, a cancerous tumor at the base of his brain. Sam is currently in Jacksonville, FL at Nemours Children’s Hospital for radiation. While in Florida, Sam and his mother are staying at the Ronald McDonald House. The Ronald McDonald House uses the soda can tabs as a payment for housing.
Staff, students, and community are encouraged to drop off can tabs in their favorite team bucket (USC Gamecocks or Clemson Tigers) at the front office of Mount Holly Elementary School. On Tuesday, Nov. 26th the staff and students will wear the team colors for the winning team!

Reading Buddies at Mount Holly Elementary School
The Reading Buddy Program is the pairing of an elementary student with an adult for 30 minutes each week. The pair spend time building a relationship and reading and conversing about the books they read. Mount Holly is thankful for our Reading Buddy Volunteers!
