School is now in full swing, and the PTA has been busy with many special projects and activities. Our PTA Enrichment Programs have begun. Many children are taking advantage of these special “classes,” enjoying activities such as scrapbooking, digital photography, and volleyball (just to name a few).
Special thanks goes out to Ms. Hull for all of her work in helping to make our Enrichment Program run smoothly, and to our teachers and volunteers. I also want to thank all of the families who helped out with our Teacher Dinner during Parent /Teacher Conferences and who have participated in our fund-raisers.
Many came out for Qdoba Night on October 1, enjoying some great food and fun with Holton friends. (Our next Qdoba Night is scheduled for November 5).
The coupon book fundraiser was also a great success. Together we raised over $4700. Our Great American Sale is currently underway. Don’t forget - orders are due by November 2!
A Capri-Sun recycling program has been started at Holton. Children who pack their lunch are encouraged to put their empty drink pouches in one of the special bins located in the cafeteria instead of in the trash. Parent Liza Forness helped to get this program started, and is busy each day collecting, rinsing, and packing the empty packages so that they can be recycled. Please encourage your children to put their pouches in these bins, and let them know that when they do, they are helping to save our environment!
October 30 is a big day of fun for our students. It is the annual Membership Dance, which features music and dancing during the school day. Many family members and teachers have already joined the PTA. Dues are only $7.00, but they go a long way towards strengthening our school! Thanks so much for your support.
The Book Fair is coming! It runs the week of November 9-13 in the Media Center, and lots of hands are needed to make our Book Fair a success. Students have the opportunity to visit the Book Fair both during the school day and after school.
Our next general PTA meeting will take place on Tuesday night, November 10, at 6:30, and the Book Fair will be open that night as well.
Another exciting event taking place in November is Holton’s Fall Festival, sponsored by our Garden Committee. Bring your family and friends out on November 14 from 2-4, enjoy an afternoon of fun activities and see what our students are growing in their garden. More information is included in the November newsletter that will come home with your child.
Special thanks to the Ginter Park Residence Association for presenting the Holton PTA with a grant that is being used to sponsor this event. Grants were given to the PTA’s of four north side schools – Holton, Ginter Park, Henderson, and John Marshall - as part of Ginter Park’s Centennial Celebration.
