HES Proud!
Congratulations the wonderful students in sixth grade who will be promoted to seventh grade at Holland Middle School. The HES staff and I encourage these fine students to remember the importance of family, caring for others, and having the courage to do the right thing. The students in sixth grade represent the HES community extremely well, and they will certainly experience continued success in middle school and beyond. Congratulations to the sixth grade!

IMPORTANT Immunization Requirement Changes for the 2017-18 School Year

This change impacts all schools in the state, not just those in Council Rock. The letter at the link below explains these changes. Please contact our school nurse with any questions related to these changes. Immunization Letter May 2017.

HES Students in Local Performance
Join The Pennsylvania School of the Performing Arts as they celebrate 21 years of excellence. This year's inspiring show will pay tribute to some of their favorite Broadway musicals including Newsies, Matilda, The Phantom of the Opera, and more as well as take you on magical adventures with interpretations of love and hope through the eyes of a child. Many students from CRSD will be performing in this show, including several from our very own HES. In preparation for the show, some of these students even had the opportunity to work with Michael Rios, a cast member of Newsies on Broadway who also appeared in the Disney movie that was recently released. A family friendly event, this show is a great way to experience the arts right here in our own neighborhood. Shows are at Bucks County Community College on Saturday, June 10 at 1:30 pm and 5:30 pm, and Sunday, June 11 at 1:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased at http://pspastudios.tix.com.

On behalf of the Holland staff and me, I would like to thank moms and dads for making this a wonderful school year. The partnership between families and the school allowed for so many wonderful opportunities for the students to learn and grow. We felt that there were individual and group successes each day throughout the year, and we hope that we provided a safe and fun environment for your child to enjoy coming to school each day.
On a personal note, thank you for making my first year at HES such a great one. I always appreciated the support from parents, and I feel blessed to have the opportunity to lead a school with such wonderful children, families and teachers. Thank you, and have a safe and relaxing summer with your children.
