HOLICONG ATHLETICS
Congratulations to all of our athletes and coaches who participated in our spring sports season! Our lacrosse team is still in the game this week! Please look for a recap of all of our spring sports teams in the Spring Edition of the Holicong Huddle!
Link above will take you directly to our daily announcements & updates
Spring Arts Festival - What an awesome night! The students were able to truly own their learning with food preparation, artwork, tech ed projects, knowledge of World Languages, and musical performances from our orchestra students. This type of cross-curricular collaboration by our teachers is what education is all about and what will make this experience and what they learned memorable. Thank you to the teachers and our parents and caregivers for coming out to support this event!
6th Grade Orientation - We had a great visit from our future Holicong Colonials! Thank you to Mr. Striano and our student ambassadors who answered questions and guided these students on tours of the building.
NJHS Induction & Officer Elections - We are excited for our NJHS induction this Wednesday evening. It is an honor to join this organization and want to give a shout out to all of the students who got in the game last week to run for an officer position. As we noted during the meeting - all students will have a voice and opportunity to make change and get involved and we are pleased to announce the officers for NJHS for the 2023-2024 school year are: Cooper Bliss, Cece Hayes, Sophia Leone, and Jack Reilley.
Freshmen Students - We hope you enjoyed the Washington DC trip! It was a huge success and thank you again to all of our chaperones and teachers for making this happen! Our next event on the list is the Freshmen Dance this Friday evening! Please make sure to check the Freshmen updates from our 9th grade team with all details!
May Parent Council - Please see the presentation for this month - both video recording and basic powerpoint - Parent Resources / Parent Council 2022-2023 (cbsd.org). Take a look at the end of year schedules and athletic playoff preview as well!
Operation Legacy Remembrance Garden - Click the link to take a look at the work these students did on their day off Tuesday to honor two fallen heroes from Holicong. A shout out to this group for getting in the game and leaving a lasting legacy at Holicong. Please see the garden on your next visit - located next to the bus platform.
9th Grade Winter Concert - Shout out to all of the members of the band, chorus, and orchestra for an awesome concert Thursday evening. It was a moving and sentimental night as they got together for one last performance as a group!
Mental Health Awareness Month - Thank you to our counselors for sponsoring the activities and providing resources. Please see here for the presentation and resources & Faces of Holicong interview with Ms. Chickanosky shared with students this week.
ALS Awareness Presentation - Please see the link for the information and resources shared with our students and staff this week for ALS Awareness month. A special thanks to Mrs. Irrera for sharing her story and to the Rosicas for allowing us to show our appreciation for Mr. Rosica and his contributions to the Holicong, Buckingham, and CBSD community!
Spring Band Concert - Our spring concert season continued last Thursday evening with awesome performances by our 7th grade & 8th grade bands, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band. The evening closed with an amazing and "I can't believe these are middle school students" performance of the Temptations What Becomes of the Brokenhearted that our 7th & 8th grade students got to see on Friday live during I & E. For the rest of you, please take a moment to watch this and can guarantee you will not be disappointed - What Becomes of the Brokenhearted!
Student Council Elections - Calling all 8th grades! Please make sure to check Mrs. Wentz Canvas page if you are interested in "Getting in the Game" and being a leader at Holicong next year!
Talent Show - Mr. Glaser will be meeting with students who have signed up for the end of the year talent show. We encourage students to take a chance and "get in the game" and if you have any questions students can reach out to him directly.
Team Time - Thank you to our team leaders & teachers for planning a variety of wellness and academic enrichment activities on Friday. It was great to see so many of our kiddos out an about playing games like capture the flag, wiffleball, coloring, and too many others to mention here. A reminder that getting away from screens and collaborating with peers and teachers is a great way to build healthy relationships!
Faces of Holicong - Community Service with Abby & Sophia - Please see our newest Faces of Holicong as Mrs. Pierangeli interviews Abby and Sophia about two community service projects and fundraisers they are doing running! They are supporting those in need well outside of our Holicong boundary - like Puerto Rico and the Ukraine! Please watch the video to learn more about their work and how you can contribute!
Say Something - For our music lovers! Here is H-Factor led by Emery & Damon on a beautiful rendition of this song! Shout out to the group and Mr. Glaser!
SAFE2SAY & SAP (Student Assistant Program) - Students received an overview of these resources in…resource class. We have posted the links directly to both of these resources on the Holicong homepage on the right side under School Links - Holicong MS / Homepage (cbsd.org).

Autism Acceptance at Holicong
Thank you to everyone who contributed to make Autism Acceptance month at Holicong a success as it allowed our entire community to learn more about ASD and for us to create opportunities for all of us to engage and collaborate together! A final few shout outs and work from this month!
- Autism Acceptance Infinity Mural - You will see in the pictures above the culmination of the work we did in our schoolwide I & E where students learned about ASD and shared their own meaning. Mr. Clint and a few helpers turned these into two murals in the cafeteria and a reminder that "what gets touched gets done" and seeing this visible art will be a reminder to us about the importance of accepting and including everyone at Holicong!
- Dodgeball Tournament - The final numbers are in and thank you to those that organized and participated - you helped raise over $400 that will benefit the work of our ASD program & Colonial Cafe!
- 2023 Faces of Holicong – Autism Acceptance I & E - Thank you to the new FRIENDS group and Mrs. Frymoyer's staff & students for helping with our Intervention and Enrichment activity.

Please look for next week's update to see the progress of the Autism Infiniti Mural!
