Principal's Corner-Fidget Spinners
There also may be inherent health risks with some of these devices. I have seen several of these spinners come apart and their bearings can pose several risks. The bearing could fly across a room and strike another person. Some students have placed these spinners in their mouth and if the bearing comes out, it poses a choking hazard.
We would appreciate your help in deciding whether you believe your child/ren truly need to bring a fidget device to school and if it will in fact help them focus. Teachers will contact parents if the fidgets are posing a distraction and ask that students leave them at home. The school will re-evaluate this plan if the devices become an unmanageable distraction. Just a reminder, toys are not permitted at school and inappropriate use of fidget devices will cause them to be categorized as toys. Our policy on this can be found in our handbook.
Thank you for your support!

The Holly Elementary Art Room has had an AMAZING year.
Thanks to a grant from Michigan Youth Arts and the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, every student in our school was able to participate in Empty Bowls! We raised over $3,000 for Blessings in a Backpack.
Holly El first graders entered the My Green School Art Contest and Lars Skulbru was chosen as a finalist in this statewide contest!
Holly El had students exhibit artwork in the new Holly Board of Education Art Gallery, in the District Art Show and our first ever Holly Elementary Art Show!
Next week, your artist will be bringing home their portfolio containing all of their artistic learning from throughout the school year.
You rock, Holly El artists! Art Show Video
