Hello Holland Elementary Parents,
On behalf of the HES staff and me, I want to thank moms and dads for all that was done to support the many activities that we've had at school over the last few weeks. We've certainly had a lot: Book Fair, Coin Challenge, Halloween Parties, Holland Harvest/Trunk or Treat, Spirit Days, and Relay Recess. The children seemed to really enjoy these activities, and they would not have been possible without the help of parents.
Here's an update on two of these activities:
- Last week's coin challenge raised $1,456.17 for our library, and Mrs. Caraccio's second grade class was the top class with over $365 raised.
- The students walked over 1,700 laps during our Relay Recess on Monday, and families gave $2,918 in pledges for the American Cancer Society.
The generosity of families is always impressive, and it was so evident over the last few weeks. Thank you.
Check out pictures below from our events.
Report cards will be available in HAC at 4:00 pm on November 22nd for grades 3-6. Grades K-2 do not receive first marking period report cards.

The 2017 Scooper Bowl is a Ticketed Event. There will be no tickets sold at the door at the event. Each ticket gives the ticket holder a choice of any handmade ceramic bowl and THREE scoops of ice cream. Many toppings will be available to make a delicious dessert!
Parents must Pre-order a bowl and their ice cream choice on the Scooper Bowl Order Form and place in an envelope with cash payment. Payment is Cash Only, thank you!
Please get this order back to your Mrs. AuBuschon at school as soon as possible. Ms. AuBuchon will give the student a ticket after receiving the order. There will only be as many tickets as there are ceramic bowls to purchase. When all bowls are sold - there will be no more tickets.
The deadline for orders is Friday, November 10th - but don't wait! Tickets are selling fast!
