Hello Holland Elementary Parents,
I'd like to communicate a transition with regard to our school's guidance counselor position. Mrs. Cory Scott has an exciting opportunity for her family and they recently moved to Texas. Although we will greatly miss Mrs. Scott, I'm pleased to announce that pending school board approval , Mrs. Hayes Honer will serve in the guidance counselor role for the remainder of the school year.
I'm confident that Mrs. Honer will be able to easily transition into this position and meet the needs of the children. She has crafted an introduction letter to families, and it can be found at the following LINK.
Reminder: PSSA Math Testing for Students in Grades 3-6 - Next Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
HES Proud!
On Friday, April 28th, all classes at Holland Elementary will participate in the Jared Box Project as part of our recognition of the Travis Manion Foundation’s Operation Legacy. The Jared Box Project is a service learning opportunity for our students to give back to the community, specifically to young patients at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children.
Holland Elementary classes will create Jared Boxes to be distributed to children who receive treatment at St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children in Philadelphia. Each Jared Box is filled with games, toys, stuffed animals, and activities. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope, and love. Last year Holland Elementary delivered over 300 boxes to St. Christopher’s.
The students will work in pairs to collect items for the box that they will design and fill. A list of suggested donation can be found at the following LINK. All items you donate need to be small enough to fit in a shoe box; no food items may be included.
