Hello Holland Elementary Parents,
Elementary principal is the best gig around. I get to work with children all day, and then there are weeks like this where I see them shine in the art show, wax museum, Mother's Day program, and band and orchestra concert. I tried to capture these moments with pictures below that let parents know what I get to see and experience. I'm quite fortunate.

Bucks County 24 Tournament
Last weekend, the following students represented HES extremely well by competing hard and demonstrating sportsmanship while going up against the best 24 players in Bucks County at the "Bucks County 24 Tournament," which was held at Churchville Elementary School:
- Kylie Pickard & Jordan Levin (Fourth Grade)
- Tyler Ferrera (Fifth Grade)
- David Chanin & Ryan Kraychik (Sixth Grade)
Students from school districts throughout Bucks County competed for two hours trying to find combinations of numbers that equal 24 before their competitors. The tournament is comprised of three 20 minute rounds. Each of our Holland representatives deserve commendation for their grit, thoughtfulness, and getting up early on a Saturday.
Of special note is that Ryan Kraychik finished in 1st place for the sixth grade category, so he will be representing Bucks County in the statewide 24 Math Challenge Tournament in June!
Congratulations to all of our HES participants on a job very well done!
