It is Staff Appreciation Week! Each and every day, our teachers empower our students to learn new skills and take on new challenges. We appreciate all that our staff members do to support our students on their educational journey. Comment below with a note for our teachers and staff!
As a part of the Step Up program which bridges the gap between Pre-K and Kindergarten, the Riley Pre-K students came to visit Holmes Elementary School. During their visit Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Mesarina read them a story, made sequence hats, and met the current Kindergartners! They also received a special visit from the Holmes Blue Jay!
Many thanks to Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority (Phi Epsilon Omega Chapter) for donating a Pink Dogwood tree to Holmes Elementary School! The Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority held a tree planting ceremony with students and staff on April 28. When fully grown the Pink Dogwood will be between 15-20 feet tall and bloom pink flowers every spring.
Attendance is a crucial part of a student’s success in school. We’re proud of the 106 students at Holmes Elementary School that did not miss a day of school in April, which is the highest number of students with perfect attendance for a month this school year. The students were rewarded with a pizza party! It’s cool to be in school!
Congratulations to all of our students who participated in last week's District STEM Fair! Our students did an incredible job preparing their projects and showcasing their work with our community.
