Hornet Happenings
A Bi-Monthly Newsletter from the Hollymead PTO
September 16, 2022
Hello Hollymead!
We hope everyone has had a successful start to the school year! It's been wonderful to be able to have a little bit of a more normal start to the year.
Our first PTO meeting was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came to the meeting. It was great to meet so many new people and see lots of familiar faces. Special thanks to Meagan Gregory for providing Crumble Cookies for our participants. We'd love for you to join us at our next meeting on Thursday, October 6, at 7 PM.
We are still searching for a few volunteers to help make this year fantastic! We are recruiting for Co-Vice-President, Co-Treasurer, Social Media Coordinator, and Co-Volunteer Coordinator. Please contact us at hollymeadptopresident@gmail.com if you're interested.
Back To School-Feed the Staff
Help shower the Hollymead Staff with appreciation on Back to School Night! Check out the Sign-Up Genius or sponsor a pizza for a staff member by donating $8 (or more) at PayPal.Me/hollymeadPTO or dropping off cash/check to the front office.
Please drop-off all items to the Hollymead Front Office by 3:00pm on Tuesday, September 20.
Kids Night Out Returns this Friday!
We are so excited to kick off another awesome season of Kids Night Out this Friday from 6-9 p.m., featuring all the same great activities your kids know and love along with an awesome new addition, now including a catered dinner! That's right, drop your kids off hungry! We've got mealtime covered!
Register for Camp4Real and a portion of the event proceeds will be donated back to the Hollymead PTO!
THE EASIEST WAY TO SUPPORT THE PTO
The absolute easiest way to support the Hollymead PTO is by linking your shopping cards and Amazon Smile account. These simple things, with next to zero effort, can bring big cash for our students, staff, and classrooms. Last year, we earned over $1,000 from the grocery shopping program alone.
- Register for Amazon Smile
- Update your grocery cards to benefit Hollymead Elementary (Kroger: Hollymead ID# 80574 and Harris Teeter: Hollymead ID# 5899). These must be updated every year.
