Last Chance to Donate for Hollenbeck Faculty Gifts

Show your appreciation for Hollenbeck's teachers & staff this holiday season, by helping the PTO, provide Goodie Bags filled with a few of their favorite things. Please consider donating – it's one small way we can all thank the caring folks who make Hollenbeck so special.

Make A Donation for Hollenbeck's Holiday Gifts

A note will be attached to the goodie bags listing each family that made a donation. On the donation page, you can also send a personal message or holiday greeting to one special teacher or staff member. The PTO will deliver your message with the goodie bag!

Donations of any size would be greatly appreciated. Donations will be accepted until December 12th.

PTO Meeting & Goodie Bag Assembly - Volunteers Needed

All parents & Hollenbeck staff members are invited to attend Hollenbeck’s PTO meeting on Tuesday, December 14th from 6 - 7 p.m. in the cafeteria. Please use the side doors, located by the picnic tables, to enter the building. This is a casual, no pressure opportunity to learn what’s happening at Hollenbeck. All are welcome! Ms. Redford, one of Hollenbeck’s dynamic ELA teachers, will be giving a short presentation and answering questions. We invite you to come, listen and learn! We will be giving away gift certificates for FREE PIZZA as attendance prizes – so don’t miss out!

Immediately following the PTO Meeting we will assemble the Holiday Goodie Bags for the staff. Feel free to drop in to help! We could use a large number of volunteers.

Season’s Sweetings

On Thursday, December 16th the PTO is sponsoring our first ever "Season's Sweetings". Students will be able to select a full size candy bar or other sweet treat during their lunch period. This event was funded by our annual Raise Craze Fundraiser. Hollenbeck will be participating in Raise Craze in February of 2022. More information will be coming soon!

It’s time to start collecting can tabs for the Ronald McDonald house. We are going to use Hawk hour as the collection class so talk it up, please. Last year we turned in 127 lbs and would love to turn in more this year. The Hawk hour with the most wins an ice cream social. The final collection day isn't until May so there is a lot of time to save those tabs!
