Holly Academy News & Views
April 8, 2022
Fourth marking is upon us with all its activities and end of the year excitement! COVID-19 affected us in so many ways, one being the suspension of field trips. We are happy to report that we have reinstated field trips and the staff has been busy planning trips to exciting locations. We want all of our Huskies to be able to participate in our events, including field trips, extra curriculars, and clubs. If you find yourself in financial need, please reach out to any member of administration and we will ensure your Husky can participate. All requests are confidential. Email addresses are available on our website. It's great to be a Husky!
Summer School
Holly Academy is pleased to be offering summer school again this year. We will be replicating the program we ran last year, which included one two-week session, and two three-week sessions. The summer school hours are 8:00am-12:00pm. There is no cost to our families. You can opt your Husky into any or all sessions. This program is not intended to accelerate students. The intent is to fill gaps in learning and assist students with retaining information over the summer. Please fill out the Google Form below if you are interested. The deadline for registration is Friday, April 15th. Dare to be remarkable!

Participation in Zumba, Yoga, MovNat, and Martial Arts
Participate in Disc Golf demonstrations
Meet some of our local firefighters and so much more!
Please be on the lookout for more information in the coming weeks.
Spring Testing
As you know, each year we are mandated by the State and CMU to provide specific state and district tests during specific times frames. The official "kick off" to spring testing begins next week, specifically Wednesday, April 13th. On this date, all 8th grade students will take the PSAT 8 in the areas of ELA and Math. The week of April 18th will begin our MSTEP testing, and the week of May 2nd will begin our NWEA testing. Although there will be an overlap in our testing windows, please know we have worked very hard to schedule specific grades on certain dates to ensure students have every opportunity to be successful and not feel overwhelmed. I know our students will be amazing! Dare to Be Remarkable!
Teacher Request Form
We are pleased to invite parents and guardians to share information that will assist us with placing your Husky with the most appropriate teacher next year. While we do our best to take your request into consideration it is not always possible to do so, as many factors determine final placement. Please complete the Google Form below, due Friday, April 22nd.

Cross Country Sign Up
It is time to sign up for Cross Country! Running is a great life-long sport that our students can enjoy individually and as part of a team. Please go to www.hollyacademy.org/sports/ to fill out the form. Generally, our practices begin when we return from spring break, so don't delay, please sign up today!
Please contact Jose Melero via email, melerojose@hollyacademy.org, if you have any questions.
Art Smart Project
Prior to spring break, all students participated in an Art Smart project. The students learned about symmetry. Each student was given a butterfly and had the option of designing their butterfly using either a symmetrical or asymmetrical design.
Hope Lawless planned the project and attached the butterflies on boards that will be displayed throughout the school.
The 3rd grade board is shown in the picture below.
