Holyoke staff and students wish to express their sincere appreciation for the many parents who volunteer each year to make magical childhood memories that kids will remember forever. Halloween, Christmas and Valentine’s Day at Holyoke Elementary School are some of the most anticipated events of the year thanks to the room parents who plan parties, bake goodies, and provide entertaining games.

“Parties are fun! I love the refreshments because they are always delicious!” Ben Kleve

“My favorite part of the parties is games. For example this year we played ‘Heart Sucking’ where each student had a straw and picked up the heart using suction from their mouth. Then, they had to run across the room without releasing the heart to drop it into a bowl.” Cody Maloney

“I would like to express a very warm thank you to all our parents who volunteer to help with parties, serve in the classroom, and support their child’s education! Thank you for making our students feel so special.” Mrs. Bennett
