Holbrook Weekly Newsletter

Thank you everyone for all of your kind and generous contributions! You have called the office to report absences, kept your students at home when they are ill, ensured students are at school on time and ready to learn, and volunteered your time!

An extra special shoutout to the following parents:

• Sara Zoccoli for leading students in painting kindness rocks to update our kindness garden!
• Tera Bazen and Raenelle Tauro for coordinating Power Hour!
• Erica Hoffmann and Cathy Wright for leading Follow Me Friday and supervising lunch!
• Jessica Phelps for harvesting and cleaning the garden!

Thank you for spreading your love!

Please help us ensure students are eating healthy snacks and lunches from home. Parents are encouraged to set their own guidelines with their children regarding nutrition, as each child and family has their own standards regarding what they feel is best for their child. Please do not send soda or candy as part of your child’s lunch or snack. Cheetos, Takis, or other coated chips are not allowed at school. Also please do not send students with large bags of chips, as we do not want to encourage the sharing of food.

We also ask for your cooperation to avoid sending foods containing nuts/nut products to school for snacks or lunches in an effort to minimize risk. Holbrook cannot guarantee an allergen-free environment for our students, but we depend on the cooperation of our parents, as part of the Holbrook team, to help us keep our school safe for all children.

Thank you for your support with this!
