Order Your 2025-2026 School Supplies Now!
Shop now for your 2025-26 school supplies! PTO worked with Hollymead teachers to determine the supplies students will need next year and have partnered with EPI to provide school supply packs. These contain all the items and brands our teachers requested and are delivered straight to the school before the school year starts. Not only is this convenient for you, but it is a fundraiser to help our school. Order by the deadline, Sunday, June 22 using our school ID HOL194.
June 2: Dining Night Out at Chick-fil-A

Thanks for Making Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week a Success!
We are so grateful for your generosity during Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week! Thanks to your donations, we were able to honor the incredible teachers, staff, bus drivers, cafeteria workers, and custodians who make a difference in our students' lives every day.
PTO Year in Review and Looking Ahead
Year in Review
As we approach the end of the school year, thank you for your support! Because of your engagement, volunteer efforts, and donations--along with support from teachers, staff, and administration--the Hollymead PTO made a positive impact on our community. We provided school supplies, gave each student a book through our annual book fair, hosted community events, published the yearbook, coordinated enrichment opportunities through after-school clubs, and more. See how your dollars were spent through our year-end review.
