Holly Academy News & Views

Staff Appreciation Week is always fun for us. This year, we really felt the love! Our families were so generous all week in showing their appreciation. We were also showered with daily food and gifts from the PTO. Thank you so much to everyone, and particularly Angie Cryderman, for treating us so well! It's great to be a Husky!
We wish all our Husky mom's a very happy and restful Mother's Day!
Parent Survey
Please take 10-15 minutes to complete our Annual Parent Survey. Your opinions are of the utmost importance to us. We have implemented changes to our facilities and programs over the years based on your feedback. Due to a low participation rate, we are extending the deadline to complete the survey to May 13, 2022. When you finish the survey, please contact your child/ren's homeroom teacher for your child to receive a dress down coupon redeemable this school year.

Thank you so much!
Volunteer Trainings
All volunteers and chaperones must have one training session with Mrs. Crawford during your tenure as a Holly Academy parent. However, volunteer paperwork has to be filled out each year. Mrs. Crawford has generously opened up two more training sessions for those parents and guardians who want to chaperone or volunteer for field trips this school year. If you haven't been trained, please come on one of these dates. Training is in the auditorium and takes approximately 15 minutes.
May 10th at 4:00pm
May 12th at 8:00am
We appreciate that Mrs. Crawford is extending this opportunity for additional trainings. Power of the Pack!
Wellness Fair/Puberty Talks was a great success!! Much appreciation to our vendors who spent the evening with us and a huge THANK YOU to all of our families who took time out of their busy schedules to join us for fun. It was beautiful weather and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.
Spring Testing continued with 5th grade taking MSTEP Science, and 3rd and 4th grades taking Math. NWEA also began this week with Y5’s, Kindergarten, and 2nd grade. The students did an amazing job and continue to put forth great effort! I cannot say thank you enough to our proctors Mrs. Bunka and Mr. Mison. They now have two different tests to monitor to be sure all goes smoothly! Without them, we would not be able to make this happen.
Next week will continue the Math cycle of MSTEP for 5th, 6th and 7th graders, Social Studies for 5th graders, and NWEA testing for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. Again, these tests will be administered on different days to ensure students have every opportunity for success.
Spring Concert communication was provided to you by Mrs. Sprague and Mr. Dufresne. There will be a silent auction for first and second row seats. Be sure to check your email and/or child’s folder for up to date information and expectations. We look forward to seeing you at the concerts!
Upcoming dates include our Global Focus and Outdoor Classroom Day. On May 13th, middle school students will be holding a Walk for Water fundraiser. During the event, students will carry gallon jugs of water around the loop on campus. This will help them experience what it is like for children to spend their days walking to and from a water source that may be miles away. Students will be asking for donations or pledges for every lap they complete. All money raised will go towards providing a well in South Sudan. Go to www.waterforsouthsudan.org for more information. On May 19th, students will participate in Outdoor Classroom Day. Teachers will be creating lessons for students to connect their learning to the world around them.
Enjoy your weekend, Huskies, and be sure you do something wonderful for the mom in your life!
