Dear Holliman Families,

We have been seeing an uptick in student absences. Over the next few weeks, our leadership team will be working on analyzing attendance data and sending home letters to families of students who have been chronically absent. If you are facing a hardship which is making it difficult for your child to attend school, please know that we are here to help. Our social worker Mrs. Votto and our school psychologist Mr. D'Aiello can provide you with resources and support.

On Monday, we welcome our new Library Media Specialist Kristen Anderson. Ms. Anderson has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a school librarian. She is excited to meet all of the students over the next few days!

As a reminder there is no school on Tuesday, November 5th for election day.

On Thursday, November 7th we will have our annual Veterans' Day ceremony. Please have your child come to school with a small blanket as they will be sitting on the grass outside during the ceremony.

We are also asking that students create cards for the Veterans.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to me directly by phone or text at 401-871-4145, or via email at kimberly.cabana@warwickschools.org.

Please visit our website at holliman.warwickschools.org for regular updates. Also, be sure to opt in for text message alerts and push notifications to receive up-to-the-minute information.

Congratulations to all! Thanks for coming to visit!

Many of you know that the beloved Mr. Feinstein has passed away. Unfortunately that means we lost an amazing human being. Fortunately, however, despite him no longer being with us the Feinstein Foundation is upholding his long standing traditions of helping schools and students be the best they can be!

Feinstein Jr. Scholar cards were sent home a few weeks ago! Be sure to use them, they are good for free admission to many local places! Click this link to see partnerships!

In addition to the Junior Scholar Cards, we've also received golden tickets for each student. We have the golden tickets in house and each golden ticket is assigned to a student, if you prefer to hold on to your child's ticket please reach out to Mrs. Bonneau or your child's teacher!

Golden Ticket winners receive $5000.00 for their school, a $500.00 check to donate to any charitable fund of their choosing and a Feinstein swag bag full of good stuff!! Click here for more information about the Golden Ticket program!

In exchange for his generosity Mr. Feinsetein simply asks that we pay it forward by doing good deeds! Click here for the link to the virtual good deeds journal! This link will also show you the winning golden ticket numbers of the week!

The Feinstein Foundation also encourages all Feinstein Leadership Schools to participate in 2 programs, the Kindness Tree and Food Pantry! We will be collecting good deed leaves within the next couple weeks to put on our kindness tree! A letter will be sent home Tuesday 11/11! We will be collecting items for our food pantry and to make baskets for Holliman families in need beginning this week and up through Friday 11/22!! We hope you'll participate if you can! If you can't and you're in need please reach out we're here to help! Contact Mrs. Bonneau, Mrs. Cabana, Mrs. Votto, Mr. D'Aiello, Miss Ann or your child's teacher if you need assistance!

We hope you'll participate in both programs and find it rewarding to give back to others!! Thank You!!
