🐰🎉 Big Congratulations to Our Talented Student! 🎉🐰
We are so excited to share that one of our amazing students entered an Easter Bunny drawing contest at the mall… and WON! 🏆✨
Because of her creativity and hard work, our entire class got to celebrate with a FREE pizza party. What an awesome surprise! 🍕🎉
We are so proud of her and grateful for opportunities like this that bring joy to our classroom. 💛
Parents, keep an eye out next year for this fun contest. It’s a great chance for students to shine and maybe even earn a special reward for their class!
Way to go! 👏🐣

🎉 Be Here, Be Proud! 🎉
Today we celebrated New Mexico’s Be Here Day in the most fun way possible! Every student who showed up received TWO temporary tattoos… with one important mission: pass them along to a staff member! 😄
That means tomorrow, our amazing staff will be rocking some pretty awesome (and possibly hilarious) tattoos all day long! 💪🎨
Because being here matters — every day, every student, every moment. ❤️
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s tattoo reveal… you won’t want to miss it! 👀 #BeHereDay #AttendanceMatters #SchoolFun

🎉 Be Here Day: Wednesday, April 8th! 🎉
Students at Holloman Elementary will get a chance to “tattoo” a staff member of their choice! 💖
Here’s how it works:
Upon school drop-off, students will receive 3 tattoos.
They will choose which staff member(s) they want to “tattoo.”
Place the tattoo(s) inside the ziplock bag with the staff’s picture taped on it.
Voting will happen at the Library / LEGO Windows inside the school.
Students can choose 1 staff member or up to 3 different staff members. The more, the merrier! Let’s have fun celebrating Be Here Day together! 🎨✨

🌼April’s Be Here Alamo theme is Be Here & Bloom, reminding us that students grow a little more each day they are present, engaged, and ready to learn.
With state assessments taking place this month, consistent attendance helps students feel confident, prepared, and supported. Just as important as being present is being on time. Arriving late can cause students to miss important instructions and disrupt the start of their day.
Campuses open early each morning and offer free breakfast to all students. 🥞 Arriving early can help families avoid drop-off traffic, allow students to enjoy breakfast with their peers, and help them start the day in a calm, positive way. A Be Here & Bloom On-time Student Tracking Chart is available for families to download, and teachers have a classroom version available.

🍀 Happy St. Patrick’s Day from our classroom! 🍀
March 17th was full of green, giggles, and just a little bit of leprechaun mischief! 💚 Our school showed up dressed head to toe in green, ready to celebrate. And those sneaky little leprechauns definitely made their presence known!
From tiny surprises to playful messes, our students had so much fun wondering what those tricky visitors would do next. 🌈✨
A special highlight of the day; Mrs. Kangas joined our 2nd grade classroom and had an absolute blast diving into all things STEM with our students! 🧪💡 The excitement and engagement were amazing to see!
It was a magical day filled with laughter, creativity, and a whole lot of school spirit!
