September 23rd, 2018 Hornet Happenings

September 23, 2018

The Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. We strongly encourage you to come visit the Book Fair, which will be located in the Hollymead Auditorium from October 8th-12th. All students will have a chance to preview the fair and fill out a wish list, which will come home in their homework folders. On Wednesday or Thursday of that week, students who would like to purchase books can return to the book fair with cash or a check made payable to Hollymead PTO. Please remember to include 5.3% sales tax in your order.

Between October 2nd-14th, you can also shop online at www.scholastic.com/bf/hollymead.

We need lots of help to make this week-long event a success! You can sign up to help here:

The directory is a valuable resource to encourage Hollymead families to connect with each other and to build our school community even stronger! In the directory, you will find class lists and contact information, as well as useful tips and tools for supporting our school and our PTO.
In order to be included in the directory, be sure to check the box “include in directory” when completing your student verification.
We love and appreciate all types of families at Hollymead, and because of this, we want to ensure your family dynamic is properly represented in this year’s Directory.

We also have a variety of advertising opportunities. Please email Shannon DeSalvo (HollymeadPTOVP@gmail.com) for more information on advertising and directory contact information.

Thank you to all that came out to Timberwood on Monday night for our first Dining Night Out! It speaks to what a wonderful community we live in that we can support our school and a locally-owned restaurant! Timberwood is extremely generous and will donate a portion of ALL of Monday night’s proceeds to us, and we will certainly let you know how much we earned and how the money will be used!
