As a part of the Step Up program which bridges the gap between Pre-K and Kindergarten, the Riley Pre-K students came to visit Holmes Elementary School. During their visit Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Mesarina read them a story, made sequence hats, and met the current Kindergartners! They also received a special visit from the Holmes Blue Jay!
In honor of Earth Day, fourth grade students at Maya Angelou Elementary School learned how to plant seeds and tend to plants in their garden! Their garden includes various fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. What an exciting way to watch science in action!

Attendance is a crucial part of a student’s success in school. We’re proud of the 106 students at Holmes Elementary School that did not miss a day of school in April, which is the highest number of students with perfect attendance for a month this school year. The students were rewarded with a pizza party! It’s cool to be in school!
