Noticias de la semana: HoLa’s Feria de Libros (Book Fair)—Tomorrow, 1-5pm! Stock up on books in English & Spanish, and enjoy guest readers, authors, illustrators, Cinco de Mayo crafts, flamenco, music, illustration classes, Spanish yoga, and more! It’s FREE and open to the entire community, so spread the word! Schedule of Events is attached, and an order form of one of the vendors (www.jeanthebooklady.com) 20% of the proceeds will be donated to HoLa. NJ ASK and NJ PASS Testing for 1st-3rd Graders begins on Mon., May 7th. Please have students get plenty of sleep, eat a good breakfast and arrive to school on time. Alternate Office Phone: We now have an HoLa cell phone that Nancy will keep with her as she roams around the school. Try the main number first (201-427-1458), but if you have trouble getting through, please feel free to call or text 201-912-0624. HoLa Summer Program: Registration for HoLa’s Spanish Immersion Summer Camp, “Aventuras Veraniegas”, is now available (http://holahoboken.org/?page_id=204) — and you can sign up at the Feria de Libros! Registration will take place at the HoLa Store table. All students who register during the event will receive a Spanish dictionary, water bottle and HoLa tote (while supplies last). While there, pick up HoLa hats, pencils, sharpeners, pencil boxes and totes at 50% off during our year-end sale! Aftercare: Gentle reminder that Aftercare payments are due on Monday, May 7th. Yipson Foods: Yipson orders may be placed up to two days in advance, so if you missed the Revolution Foods deadline or need to add another day of lunch, place an order directly with Yipson, www.orderhotlunch.com/NJ/Hoboken/YipsonFoods. Run at a Track Meet! All HoLa students & sibs are welcome to compete this Sun., May 6th, 10am, in the Hudson County Track Meet in Jersey City. You don't have to be a track team member—just show up in an HoLa shirt and run! Children as young as 3 can run, and every child gets a ribbon. For info, contact 3rd Grade parent Barbara Martinez: [email protected]. Photos from the last meet are attached. New Curriculum Theme: A big thank you to Yahaya and Alejandra for teaching African and Latin dance as part of Pintando y Bailando—this “special” was a big hit! Colores y Dibujos started this week and explores the use of color and design in art. While in Ms. Lisa’s weekly art class, students will engage in activities related to Audubon’s colorful bird paintings, and for the last “special” of the year, artist/teacher and HoLa parent Jay Boucher will work with each class to learn all about games. Students will learn about grid systems, mazes, stories, characters, chance and probability—and even design and play their own board games as a group. Kindergarten Food Drive: The kindergarten classes are sponsoring a non-perishable food drive for the month of May. All Hola students are welcome to bring in a canned or boxed item and place it in the collection boxes, which are located in the K classrooms. Donations will be given to IJN Charities (400 Willow St.), who provide food to nearly 200 families a month, including 300 children. They are the only emergency food pantry in the area. Thank you for your participation! Mission 50 Field Day Challenge: HoLa has successfully referred two new clients to Mission Fifty—we need just one more client to get a $2,000 donation for Field Day! Two weeks ago, local business Mission 50 (a shared work/office space) offered to donate $2,000 to HoLa’s field day if we just refer three new clients to register for Mission 50 services by our deadline of May 4th! See the attached flyer for details. Woody Guthrie Centennial Tribute Concert: Thurs., May 24th, 6:30pm, at Sinatra Park. Local schools have been asked to sing two songs together to open the evening.

Dear Families, April 2011 As the 2011-‐2012 starts to near a close, the HoLa PTO board would like to send a special note of thanks and celebrate the accomplishments that all of our parents and teachers have helped to achieve this year. Everyone’s willingness to lend a helping hand, no matter how big or small, has directly benefited the HoLa community and our students. You should feel extremely proud! One of the primary goals of the PTO is to provide our school with programs, resources and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every child. Many of you have been vital in helping organize a broad variety of social, cultural, and educational events such as; Class Coffees and classroom projects, the HoLa Halloween / Día de los muertos party, Family Movie Night, the Celebración de las Artes Talent Show, Sabor de HoLa, and our upcoming Book Fair, Field Day, and Golf Outing. Without your active role in the PTO, these programs would not exist. While all of these events are about building community, some have the additional intent of raising funds to help our school grow and to continue to provide more resources for our students and teachers. Through all of your combined efforts, by the end of the school year the HoLa PTO will have raised approximately $120,000. These are real results with real benefits for our children. We have been able to purchase instruments, art supplies, gym equipment, and recess toys for all students to use. The construction of the 4th Grade classrooms is complete, and the rooms are already in use to provide special tutoring and support across all grades. Books and additional learning resources will be purchased to continue to build out our classroom libraries that benefit HoLa students for years to come. Thank you for everyone’s amazing contributions this year! With the end of the year nearing, we are also nearing the end of the term for our PTO board members. Our request to the HoLa community is simple – we are asking you to consider taking on a leadership role on the board, so that the HoLa PTO can continue to grow, evolve, and contribute, towards the success of all our children. Nominations are being accepted now and an election will take place on May 17th at our next PTO meeting. We ask you to consider any of the seven roles. Each of them vary in time commitment and duties, but all are extremely important. We hope that you will consider any one of the roles on the attached, and submit your nomination so that the PTO may continue the good work and service for our children’s school next year. Please feel free to reach out to any one of us with questions you may have. Again, we thank all of you for your amazing commitment and dedication to our school, and for achieving amazing results this year. Sincerely, The HoLa PTO Board 2011-‐2012 Andrea Mayendia/President – [email protected] Norma Ramos/Vice-‐President – [email protected] Vrinda Deva/Treasurer – [email protected] Kelly Reina/Secretary – [email protected] Yoselly Ramos/Communications Officer – [email protected] Christian Gibbs/Fundraising Chair – [email protected] Christiane Hoffman/Legal Chair – [email protected]
