WOW! What a GREAT NIGHT! The weather was great, the turnout was great, and the night was FUN, FUN, FUN! To everyone that participated in any way…my heartfelt thank you! It is so wonderful to all put it together and get together for ice cream and the Holmes Team Spirit! We had students, parents, teachers, grandparents, community members, and more… It was great!
Thank you!
It is Teacher/Staff Appreciation week! We have an amazing staff at Holmes that works hard each day for every student in the building. I could not be more proud and honored to work with such dedicated individuals. Please make sure you take the opportunity to thank them!
A big thank you to everyone that is sending in items on Wed.-Fri. this week for the staff to eat. The breakfast this morning was delicious and I am sure the rest of the week will be fabulous too. We appreciate your kindness!
YES!
It is officially our Front Porch Day! You can purchase ice cream, gift certificates, and more all day today. The more you buy, the better chance we have of becoming the “Cool School” again! If we win the competition, we also get a percentage of the proceeds from the Front Porch. The money goes back to our school! Sounds like a WIN-WIN situation for us all!
Teachers and other special activities will be at the Front Porch from 4-8PM, so don’t miss it! Don’t forget to sign in with Mrs. Lindberg and Mrs. Smits when you are there. Look for the dogs… The class with the most students that visit will win an ice cream party! YUM!
We will have 2 race cars on-site from 4 to PM. Caleb Bisacky and Joel Baker are both fathers of Holmes Elementary 2nd graders! Stop by and check those out while you eat your ice cream!
We will also have high school students to provide face painting from 4 to 8PM.
Sounds like a great time, doesn’t it? You have to be there!
Holmes Front Porch Day is TOMORROW! You can purchase ice cream, gift certificates, and more all day on Monday. The more you buy, the better chance we have of becoming the “Cool School” again! If we win the competition, we also get a percentage of the proceeds from the Front Porch. The money goes back to our school! Sounds like a WIN-WIN situation for us all!
Teachers and other special activities will be at the Front Porch from 4-8PM, so don’t miss it! Don’t forget to sign in with Mrs. Lindberg and Mrs. Smits when you are there. The class with the most students that visit will win an ice cream party! YUM!

In case you didn’t get to see the email… We wanted to share this with you…
Dear Spring Lake Parents,
The 2011-12 school calendar has been revised, making the last two days of the school year, June 7 and 8, half days for students. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause our families. SLPS has always ended the school year with one or two half days for students in order to accomodate the secondary exam schedule. The original calendar for this school year did not include half days at the end of the year due to concerns over the number of days and hours students would be in session. However, with only two weather related cancellations, we are able to make this change while maintaining an adequate number of days and hours to meet state requirements.
So, please plan ahead for half days on June 7th and 8th.
Regards,
Dennis M. Furton,
Superintendent
Hi Everyone,
Tomorrow (Friday) is the day that we take our collection for OEDT to help support the adoption of the Peregrine Falcons. Please send in your extra change!
Thanks for your help, support, and participation!
Our AM Young 5 class had their concert yesterday and they were great! They sang and danced to songs all about the alphabet. Their parents and other special guests were very impressed! I was too! Here they are in action…
We have been the “Coolest School” 3 years in a row… 3 years in a row! We can do it again…I know we can!
We need everyone to come out and get some ice cream on Tuesday, May 8. Plan to stop by, sign in and enjoy a sweet treat.
Did you know… The class with the highest attendance will win a class sundae party provided by the Front Porch? Check in with Mrs. Lindberg and Mrs. Smits. You can look for the dogs and you will find them… We will make sure that you are “checked-in”.
Gift certificates are available. A note went home, so ask for a new one if you missed it and wanted to buy some gift certificates. Send those in to Mrs. Lindberg.
We cannot wait to see you all there!
Last Friday we had a very special event! Mr. Z and the students of Holmes Elementary showed off their talent and hard work. There were many people that stopped in to visit and check out all the different art displays. It was a great Holmes family event. Our Parents’ Club provided donut holes, yogurt, juice, and coffee for all that attended too! It was a great morning. Thank you to everyone that made this day SO special. Check out the photos below…
It was a great week at Holmes! Here are our train ticket winners that were announced on Friday! They received a prize (of their choice) and two conductor tickets to share with any Holmes student that they “catch” doing a good job with the behavior expectations. We had SO many train tickets turned in! We are proud of all our “Holmies”!
Here are the winners from Friday…
