HOLLAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Writing touches plenty of hearts during holiday season



Welcome to the Holland Elementary School Writing Assembly!

All of the students at Holland participate in a school-wide writing topic each month.  Two students are selected from each class to read what they have written in front of their peers and parents.  

This month's topic was met with many heartfelt responses that demonstrated the generous nature of our students.  The topic:

"This time of year is all about giving to others.  What can you do for a special person that would cost no money?  Who would that special person be and what would you do for them?"  

The writings included cooking breakfast for parents, sharing the spirit of Christmas through being kind and loving,  giving gently used toys to children in need, talking to and sharing with the homeless, and sending Christmas cards and encouragement to the people of the Philippines, who recently lost so much in the typhoon.  

The writing was some of the best ever and everyone was touched by the students’ wonderful ideas!
