Holmes PTA invites you to a free family movie night! We will be showing Disney's "Frozen" (Rated PG) on Friday, May 2nd at 6:00pm in the Auditorium. 

Our annual Spring Fling will celebrate Holmes Birthday with a Rock and Roll Birthday Bash on Saturday, May 17th.

The Rock? Our new Holmes H.A.W.K.S. Gardens which will be featured on the Clairemont Garden Tour that day. The Roll? A Car Show in the front lot! There will also be the usual favorites: fun activities, crafts, and games for the kids, a Student Art Show, a Cake Decorating Competition, live entertainment, yummy food, and our first ever Science Fair display!

Volunteers are needed! If you can help, please email Jessie Nettles at jessie.nettles@holmespta.org

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. 

Mileage Club is coming to an end! Please make note of the following year end events:

Last day of running

Last token day 8:40-8:55 at the running track
