Our annual Family Science Night "Amazing Space" is tonight, Thursday, April 24th, from 6:30pm - 8pm in the Holmes Auditorium.

This event is put on by the Reuben H. Fleet Science Center and by our parent volunteers. It is sponsored by Holmes PTA, so your cost is ZERO!

We look forward to seeing those of you who signed up there. Download the Science Night Flyer for more info. 

Please make note of the following year end Mileage Club events:

The Girl Scouts are forming a new Daisy troop at Holmes. Girls in K-1st Grade and their families are invited to a Girl Scout information meeting on Tuesday, April 29th from 5:30-6:30pm in the Holmes Cafeteria. See the Girl Scout Flyer for more information. 

Come out for a free family-friendly movie night! We will be showing Disney's "Frozen" on Friday, May 2nd at 6:00pm in the Holmes Auditorium. Food, popcorn and snacks will be available for purchase beginning at 5:30pm.  

Teachers play a key role in our child's academic success, and sometimes a simple "thanks" is all a teacher needs to feel valued. Teacher Appreciation Week (May 5th - 9th) is the perfect time to personally thank our Holmes teachers for their care and support of our children throughout the year. 

Marston Middle School families and friends (including 5th & 6th grade families enrolling in 2014-15) are invited to an Annual Spring Open House on Thursday, May 8th from 4:30-7:30pm. Enjoy a family dinner in the courtyard, bid on great items at the silent auction (beginning at 4:30), listen to the Jazz Band (6pm), and visit classrooms (6:30 - 7:30pm).

The Silent Auction will include restaurant gift certificates, tickets to local entertainment attractions, participation in fun activities with teachers, and baskets full of wonderful gift items. See a Preview List.
