PTO Thank You
Each day last week the PTO provided a special treat for the staff. It was so much fun to look forward to the next day's indulgence! Thank you so much! It's great to be a Husky!
Summer School
Holly Academy will be offering summer school this year. To receive funding we must offer eight weeks of math and reading. We will offer two, half day, three-week sessions and one two-week session at no cost to you. You can opt your Husky into any or all of the sessions. Please fill out the Google Form below if you are interested. Summer school is not a credit recovery option for students that are scheduled to be retained. Summer school registration will close at 4:00pm on Monday, May 17th. Dare to be remarkable!

Coach Appreciation
As you know, cross country season is upon us. A huge thanks to our coaches Mark Cryderman and Anita Harless!
Mark Cryderman enthusiastically volunteered to coach when his grandson Andrew signed up to run cross country. Mark has 25 years of running and race management experience, but more importantly, Mark wants to share his passion for running with the kids! Mark has done a great job with the team in a short three weeks. Our runners have responded well to his easy-going nature and passion for running. Before agreeing to become one of our coaches, Mark walked every inch of our one mile course, giving suggestions, but more importantly making sure the course was safe and the right distance. Mark has described our course as fun and challenging!
Anita Harless has coached our cross country team for 9 years. Anita simply can't say no to coaching our cross country team even after her two sons have graduated from Holly High School. If you have ever met her, you can't forget her! Anita not only has a passion for running, but she also has a passion for life and our team is better for it!
Thank you, coaches, this promises to be another great Cross Country season for Holly Academy! Power of the Pack!
