This week our 4th and 5th Grade Golden Bears will "Level Up" for the CAASPP! Golden Bear Country is cheering on our 4th and 5th Graders this week as they give it their best shot on the state test. Students are encouraged to get a good night's sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and not to stress! Although this test is untimed and students can take all the breaks they need, testing is typically done before student lunch.

Students will be treated to a special testing treat and snacks during recess each day of testing. Music during recess and lunch and no homework! We hope 3rd Grade feels the love as they do their best on the test!

Keeping our students fueled and excited for testing is an important task. Hollow Hills would like to give a special thank you to Megan MacArthur for funding the testing treats and snacks for our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students.

Megan is a Hollow Hills mom who absolutely loves being a Realtor! She works hard for her clients, just as our Golden Bears work hard for their school by doing their very best on the CAASPP!

If you have any real estate needs, please reach out to our very own Megan MacArthur and her team who will strive to meet all of your needs by going above and beyond to get the job done.

Yearbooks have been ordered and will arrive at the end of May. If you haven't ordered yours yet and would like to be on the waitlist, we will have a very limited amount of books available for sale in May. Join the waitlist now to secure your book.
