Thanksgiving Feast!

On Friday we had an amazing time with all of our families during our annual Holly Tree Thanksgiving Lunch!  We served turkey, ham, stuffing, green beans, scalloped potatoes, rolls, pumpkin and pecan pie, and more!  With cars lining the road and parents lining the halls it looked like another big success.  It's always so nice to have family and friends come out to enjoy a special part of our time here at school and we want to thank everyone again for making our Holly Tree Thanksgiving so very special.  We are VERY thankful for all of you and hope you all have a very blessed Thanksgiving this week!

Happy Veteran's Day!

We've had an exciting day yesterday in celebration of Veteran's Day!  One of our dad's - Mr. Seth, who's also a veteran, came to our school to show us some cool pieces of his uniform that he used to wear, and to read us a story called "The Soldier's Night Before Christmas!"

The kids had a blast playing with the helmet, flashlight, backpack, and uniforms and the story was very sweet.  It's about "the Santa of soldiers" who brings notes and pictures from children back at home to soldiers who are staying far away at Christmas time. 

The children also wanted to show Mr. Seth how well they knew the Pledge of Alliegance!  It was a very special treat and we were so glad we were able to say "Thank You!"

We hope all our veterans had a very blessed Veteran's Day!

Fall Festival Time

We had a blast this past Friday at our annual Fall Festival!  Each classroom played fun games like pin-the-nose-on-the-jack-o-lantern, Candy Corn Toss, and Ooey Gooey Guess!  It's safe to say however, that the crowd favorite was trick-or-treating from classroom to classroom.  All the kiddos looked adorable in their costumes and it was really OUR treat to spend a special day with our families!  Thank you so much to everyone who came out to help!  It was a huge success and we're already looking forward to next year.
