Message from Holland Road PTA (email: pta.hollandroad@gmail.com):
It's that time of year again!!!!  We are planning the Holland Road Holiday Bazaar for Friday, December 16.

We are asking that families donate new or lightly used items to sell at the Bazaar.  It can be anything from jewelry, purses, books, ties, toys, games, mugs or whatever you think a parent/guardian and/or siblings would like to receive as a gift.  These donations can be sent in with your child or dropped off at the school starting next week.

On Dec 16 the kids will need to bring pre labeled gift tags for their immediate family and the money to shop with.  Each gift will cost only $2!  The classes will take turns coming to the gym to shop at the Holiday Bazaar and then they will get their gifts wrapped to be taken home.

We will be looking for lots of volunteers to help with this exciting event so stay tuned for the signup sheet to follow in a couple weeks.  It's always a favorite event during the Holidays for both the kids and the parents.

We are also having a raffle for VIP seating at the Holiday Concert.  This prize will include 2 front row seats, a priority parking spot and treats to take home. The tickets will be $5 each and 2 prizes will be drawn for either the morning or afternoon concert of your choice.  Tickets will be coming home with your child and we will also be selling tickets at student progress meetings Wednesday evening.

One last item, the next PTA meeting will be Monday December 5 at 6pm at the HRES library with a focus on the Holiday Bazaar.

Any questions, please contact us (or the PTA)!
