Holicong Weekly Update
Back in the Game
12/26/22
We wish you a both a festive and relaxing holiday break! It has been an exceptional start to the year both in and out of the classroom at Holicong and while we might be celebrating in different ways, we do ask our students and staff to remember the messages of kindness and giving back to others that have been a focus of our work this year and to practice these over the next week.
We have posted pictures from the past week and many more to come! And since this is Holicong of course there is a schedule and work to do, so we put out the weekly update with a few suggestions to keep you busy...and keep our work intentional - please feel free to add your own! Please remember to take care of yourselves and each other over these next few days and we look forward to seeing you back at Holicong in the new year!
Kevin Shillingford, Principal
Mike Canelli, Assistant Principal
