Bikes for Books kicks off today! Hollis students can fill out an entry form (teacher's will provide) or parents can fill one out via the QR code on the flyer for every book read between now and Thursday, April 17th. On the 17th we will have an all school assembly where one boy and one girl from each grade level will have their name selected from the entries to win a bike! Thank you to the Buxton Masonic Lodge #115 for bringing this amazing event to us again this year!

What a fun morning our second graders had with Mrs. Bryant from Hilltop Boilers. Students learned about natural resources, how to identify maple trees, how to tap a maple and how maple syrup is made! They even got a chance to taste test maple popcorn and syrup! Thank you, Mrs. Bryant, for bringing such a wonderful learning opportunity to our school! Second grade families, be sure to check your child's bag for a special treat!

Mark your calendars....the District Math Meet is this Saturday, March 1st from 9am-11:30am. This is open to all 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students. We hope some Hollis students will be there!

A few of our 1st Graders spent their recess making a wonderful snowman! Today's weather was perfect for such a fun activity!

Greetings Bonny Eagle,
Due to the anticipated inclement weather and expected hazardous road conditions throughout the day, there will be No School for all MSAD 6 Schools on Thursday February 13, 2025.
While snow accumulations may stay low, the potential for icing is strongly contributing to this decision. If we try to hold school and the ice accumulates it would be too late to reverse the decision. For these reasons, I feel it is in the best interest of students and staff safety to close schools for the day.
With this snow day, our second of the year, the new last day of school will be Monday, June 16, 2025. We will formally update the calendar after the winter storm season is over.
I apologize for the inconvenience that comes with this decision. I am letting the community know in advance, rather than waiting until morning, so families can make plans. I won’t always be able to notify families in advance but feel that in this circumstance it is the right thing to do.
Some of you might be wondering about Remote Instruction days. You can read the full School Closing Procedure document including plans for remote days here: https://docs.google.com/…/1Nnje9S7XCcD-G6DaX_YZpnBmDq…/edit…. In short, remote instruction days are inconvenient for many parents and present challenges for some staff, especially those with their own young children at home. I will consider using remote instruction days after our third traditional snow day to avoid extending the school year deeper into June.
Stay safe during the storm and contact me with specific concerns or questions.
Regards,
Clay Gleason
Superintendent of Schools
