The end of the school year is rapidly approaching. There are many activities scheduled for our Huskies in the next few weeks. It is a busy but, exciting time for everyone. I'm looking forward to all the fun events. Power of the pack!

As a way to say thank you to our current families, we are offering parents an incentive for referring new families to Holly Academy. For every child you bring into HA that is accounted for in our October count, you will receive $100. For example, if you refer a family with 3 kids that would be $300!! Go spread the word to all your family and friends about how remarkable HA is!

Spring Testing continued with 5th grade taking MSTEP Science and 3rd and 4th grades taking Math. NWEA also began this week for 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 Mrs. Nabozny. They have two different tests to monitor to ensure all goes smoothly! Without them, we would not be able to make this happen.

Next week's testing schedule:

• Math cycle of MSTEP for 5th, 6th, and 7th graders
• Social Studies for 5th graders
• NWEA testing for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders

These tests will be administered on different days to ensure students have every opportunity for success.

The end of the year is extremely busy with various activities. Please remind your child that although school is almost out there is still a lot of education happening over the next few weeks.

A huge thank you to all staff and parent volunteers who worked at last Friday's Fun Night for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade students. It was a great time!

Today, we celebrated Cinco de Mayo with a food truck and pinata for 5th-8th graders, and the Spring Fling dance this evening. Power of the Pack!
