Holbrook Elem Holiday Adoption
Throughout the next several weeks, our students and staff will continue in the tradition of helping children from Holbrook Elementary prepare for the up-coming holiday season. This is such a great way for us to teach our own children the meaning of the season through acts of kindness and giving. Our generous donations each year assist these families in fulfilling the holiday wishes of their children, and it is truly a blessing and appreciated by them.

Lending-to-Learn Program
Your child has the option to check out a Chromebook and Kajeet wifi hotspot for home use. The Kajeet device provides filtered wifi blocking social media and YouTube. In order to participate in the Lending to Learn program, parents must first sign the agreement form which will be kept on file in the library for the entire year. Then each day a student wants to take home a laptop and hotspot, a slip must be turned in that morning to the library. At dismissal, students stop by the library to pick up the assigned devices and place inside their backpacks. Devices are to be returned the next morning by 9:00 a.m.. If you have any questions about the Lending to Learn program, please contact our librarian at jennifer.lucas@cfisd.net.
