Teacher Appreciation Week Next Week
Hello Holton Families!
We will be celebrating our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week next week, May 3-7. This is the time to let our children's teachers know that we recognize the incredible work they for our children. Please take this opportunity to show your appreciation. Your gift need not be costly--flowers from the yard, a work of art by your child, a note, a card or a simple gift are all wonderful ways to express your heartfelt thanks.
Also as part of Teacher Appreciation Week, The PTA will be hosting a luncheon for the Teacher's on Friday May 7th and a few volunteers are needed for this event as well. Please contact Beth Bolstad if you would like to help with the luncheon!
