Red Note - HLA Newsletter

As we enter the final full week of school before Spring Break, there’s still so much to accomplish! Let’s continue supporting our students by encouraging reading at home and ensuring they arrive at school on time each day.
With spring just around the corner, it’s also a great time to check the Lost and Found! If your child is missing a jacket, water bottle, or other belongings, please take a moment to stop by. All unclaimed items will be donated next Thursday at the end of the day.
Let’s finish this week strong! Thank you for your continued support.

We are excited to partner with Vida Counseling and Wellness to offer a Conscious Parenting class for Spanish-speaking families right here at HLA.

The class will take place every other Thursday from 5:30-7:00 pm at HLA, starting April 24. See here for more information and to sign up.

Tienda PODER | Volunteer Supervisor Needed!
We are in need of a parent or other volunteer to serve as supervisor for our weekly Tienda PODER on Fridays from 12:00-3:00 pm. The role would include training new parent volunteers in how to run the shop and serving as a substitute in case a volunteer cancels or we do not have enough volunteers signed up. This important role will help us ensure the Tienda PODER can run uninterrupted for students every week. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact our Community Coordinator Mrs. Golin at agolin@hollandpublicschools.org.
