NOTE FROM MRS. LOGAN
Stamina is defined as the ability to sustain prolonged physical or mental effort. There are many times in my life when my stamina has been put to the test. Month 9 of my pregnancies, finishing half-marathons and surviving long NE winters are some examples. Almost anything is manageable for a short period of time. Sustained and prolonged demands is where stamina is necessary and challenged.
I have noticed as a mom and educator that the last few week's of Remote Learning have tested my stamina, I am guessing some of you are feeling the same. Finishing this school year strong is important. I recognize I am at my strongest, and can be the best for others, when I take good care of myself. Exercising, eating healthy, leaning on others, and being kind to myself for what does and does not get done in a day are a few of things that help me be strong. How do you find your parenting strength at this time of remote learning? It is a time where stamina will be tested, I choose to finish strong!
Share Your Talents Hawks!

Behind the scenes Holling Staff is working hard to make this remote learning a time of rich and manageable experiences that promote students academic and social/emotional growth. The Holling staff continues to amaze me. The first week of May is Teacher Appreciation Week. We want to make this week special for the Holling staff even though we will not be able to physically celebrate them. There are a couple of ways you can help.
1. Take a quick moment to complete this quick form recognizing a special teacher!
2. During the first week of May send emails to staff at Holling who have positively impacted your child.

2020 Bond Information
On May 12th, 2020 Millard Public Schools is asking voters to consider a bond to address district repairs and maintenance. The average age of Millard’s schools is 38 years old. All together, the district’s buildings are valued at an estimated $700 million dollars. To protect the community’s ongoing investment, the district is asking for a $125 million dollar bond. This would raise the levy approximately one cent. A cent of additional levy would cost an estimated $20 per year on a $200,000 home. The funds would support projects in six areas: safety and security, major renovations, capital equipment replacements, energy efficiency projects, summer maintenance projects and furniture replacements. All 35 schools will be impacted by the bond. Holling Heights will receive around 1.5 million dollars from the bond to support building renovations.
