Principal's Corner
Is your child missing gloves, a hat or maybe a jacket? Might there be an item that you haven’t seen in a while? Chances are, it is in our ever-growing Lost and Found! While you are in the building for events, please check to see if your child’s belongings are there. We have conveniently placed these items on tables in the front lobby. Any items that are left after the school year will be donated.
We have some very exciting things coming soon! The Book Fair, Carnival, Art Show, and Reading Night/Celebration of Learning are happening in the next few weeks! I look forward to seeing you at these fun events.
Today students are bringing home the purple Parent Profile form. As we begin to develop classrooms for next school year, your input is important. Please take a moment to fill it out and return it by May 18, 2018.

Holly Elementary Art Show
Every child will have their art returned after the show, but you are welcome to purchase the frame, holding the art, on May 18th, from 5:00-7:00, to proudly display it in your home or office. In addition, a percentage of the sales goes to Blessings in a Backpack.
You can also order color reproductions and an additional frame at the Art Show for $22.00! A framed reproduction of your child’s art is an amazing, personalized gift for friends, grandparents, or other family members.
