@Holmes Elementary
The Spring Open House is for students and their parents/guardians to celebrate each student's work and accomplishments.
New this year will be our Art Show! Works of art from our Arts Attack curriculum will be displayed around campus showcasing every student at Holmes Elementary. Don't forget to stop by the auditorium for our Scholastic Book Fair (hosted by the Holmes PTA). This is a great opportunity to pick up books before summer break.
**Arts Attack, an award-winning video/DVD-based art curriculum that meets the State of California's grade level content standards for the visual arts. The Holmes Elementary PTA purchased Arts Attack's K-6th lessons to be implemented during the school year by volunteers working in conjunction with the classroom teachers. |

HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL PLANNING COMMITTEE | | |
 WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING FOR EAGER PARENTS TO HELP PLAN OUR 2011 HALLOWEEN CARNIVAL! WE MUST FORM A PLANNING COMMITTEE BEFORE THIS SCHOOL YEAR ENDS!
If you love Halloween, carnivals, sharing good times with fun people or just seeing smiles on all our Holmes kids' faces, then this will be an event that you'd like to take part in. Putting on this large event takes lots of planning and lots of help. It truly cannot take place with only one or two volunteers, nor is that fair to the volunteers who are helping. Volunteers on the planning committee will help with planning games, designing game booths, scheduling volunteers, finding prizes, making signs and banners, selling tickets, finding food vendors, acquiring donations and SO MUCH MORE! If you can donate a few hours of your time next September and/or October, we'd truly appreciate it! DAD'S ARE NEEDED TOO! This event requires a lot of work from our Dads. Contact Stacy Coulter if you can help make our 2011 Halloween Carnival the best ever. |
