The Hawk
Holmes Elementary School - Week Ending 9/20/2019
Reminder: Picture Day is Monday
Students from Holmes School will celebrate International Walk to School Day on October 2nd. Oak Park will join children and adults from all over the globe celebrating the fun and healthy tradition of walking and biking to school. Some ways to participate:
- Help your children enjoy Walk to School Day even more by walking with them yourself!
- Organize a “walking school bus” or "biking train" by picking up children, who know you, on the way to school.
- Make special arrangements to join the walking school bus or biking train, even if your child normally rides the bus.
By encouraging walking to school on October 2nd and every day, we support an easy, healthy and fun way for children to travel to school.

The Fall EDGE session will run Monday, September 30 - Friday, November 22 with no classes 10/24, 10/25, 10/31, and 11/1.
The Holmes PTO strives to run the EDGE at a "break-even" and funds collected through EDGE go towards administering the program (web, credit card, insurance, administrative fees, etc.) and student scholarships. This is by design so we can pass as much value on to EDGE vendors and our Holmes families!
We also need your help with Edge! Looking for parents to take attendance for Edge after school. This is a paid job.
Co Board Positions for Edge are open. If you love this program, please volunteer so we can keep it going! We need your help Holmes Community!! Reach out to laylamalia77@gmail.com if interested.
