Beach picture Article Subheading
After three years, Beach Day is returning to Holmes on the afternoon of Friday, June 8th as part of our annual Spirit Week. 
 
Mrs. Celle is looking for a few parents who can help set up and tear down the stations that afternoon.  It's pretty easy.   
 
Mrs. Celle will have detailed information for you to follow; email her if you are interested and able to help.   
Sing 'n Speak Spanish
Article Subheadin   
Dear Parents of Holmes Elementary, 
Sing 'n Speak Spanish® makes learning conversational Spanish easy and fun.  It carries high educational goals but is playful - with songs, humor, visuals, interactive puppetry, games, role-playing, and a strong emphasis on the use of vocabulary in conversation.  Elementary school children are at their linguistic best.  There is no better time to lay the foundation for advanced learning and fluency.   

The Sing 'n Speak Spanish program is a five year Spanish curriculum for elementary aged students.  Classes take place once a week throughout the school year. To offer the higher levels of Spanish in subsequent years, it is necessary to have good enrollment in the Year 1 Spanish classes.  Our minimum and maximum enrollments are 6 and 12 students, respectively. This is our third year offering Sing 'n Speak Spanish at Holmes Elementary.  Our enrollment at Holmes has been too low to offer the higher levels of the Sing 'n Speak Spanish program.  This three-question survey is designed to determine if there is sufficient interest in the Spanish program to continue at Holmes Elementary and whether it makes more sense to offer the classes before or after school.

Thank you so much for your input!
