This week has been a fantastic week filled with learning and laughter. We are well underway with our students understanding Happy Hollow’s procedures and have focused on building relationships within their classroom communities.

A friendly reminder to caregivers that we ask you to pull all the way up past our front doors at rolling drop off or pickup. This is important as we try to move through this process as efficiently and safely as possible. Additionally, we ask that once our dismissal occurs, avoid allowing your child to climb trees on our property. This is out of an abundance of caution.

Thank you PTO! They have been busy with planning our picture day for this Monday and Harvest Day on Tuesday! Once again thank you for organizing these important community events!

Have a wonderful weekend. Here is my newsletter for your future planning.

Best,

Nicolette Foundas, Happy Hollow Principal

Happy Hollow has been selected again as a Stop & Shop Community Bag Program Nonprofit Partner!!! Our school will receive $1 for every $2.50 reusable community bag sold at the Wayland Stop & Shop during the month of November (it needs to be the specific community bag pictured here, which has the word "give" written on it)

Did you know that the PTO provides funding to our classroom teachers? With your contribution, you

support your child’s teacher and enhance your child’s education by helping teachers purchase

supplies, books, equipment, subscriptions, and other materials to engage their students.

Support the PTO–and our teachers–by making your donation to Gift Your Child today!
