Holliman Hornets Family Newsletter
Volume 6.6 October 5, 2026
Dear Holliman Families,
I cannot thank you enough for all you do to support our teachers and students! Your generosity with volunteering for the PTA, participating in fundraising, and keeping our parking lot safe is greatly appreciated! Please continue to use our drop off loop at morning arrival. A few reminders if your child is going to be late;
You must park and walk your child to the front door. Per Aramark, students who are tardy and need to order a lunch, will be offered a number 3 or 4 only as the hot lunch count must be entered shortly after 9:00 AM.
If any family members would like to sign up for their child's library time to see them during the book fair, please fill out the form below.
Our fall book fair will be from Monday October 19th to Thursday October 22nd.
Please make sure you have a current BCI on file at our school.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you! Miss Patalano - Librarian
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Cabana, Principal
A Message from Nurse Razza
