In January, Holmes students, parents, community volunteers, and staff from Fish & Wildlife and California Native Plant Society planted our Canyon Rim Native Plants Garden. Over 120 Tecolote-specific natives were added, along with rocks, gorilla hair mulch and pathways.  

On May 17th, Holmes' five gardens will be featured in the Clairemont Garden Tour held during our Spring Fling.

PTA is always looking for helpers in the gardens. Please email Cami at cami.abel@holmespta.com if interested. For more information on the gardens, visit the H.A.W.K.S. Web Page.

The problem of head lice is ongoing and can be a time consuming, frustrating nuisance. Prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential to get rid of them. To that end, PTA has posted information on the school web site to educate parents on lice prevention and treatment.
