Thank You

Thank you to all the teachers, parents, family and friends who volunteered to make this year's Halloween Carnival the most successful one ever. Without all of your volunteer help, this event would never be as Spooktacular as it has become.
Also a big THANK YOU to those wonderful bakers who donated all those delicious goodies for our world-famous cakewalk. This year's donations were more than double the amount we have ever had donated.
Thank you from the bottom of our Holmes' heart!!
