Attention HPS McKinney-Vento Families 💛

Have you registered your teen for the Youth Conference yet?

This is an amazing opportunity happening right here in our community. Youth from across the region will come together for a day of learning, connection, leadership, and growth.

Trying something new can feel uncomfortable for teens, but experiences like this help build confidence, communication skills, independence, and connections with other youth.

We strongly encourage our MCKV students to attend and participate in this incredible opportunity. 💛

Register here:

Saturdays look a little different for us. 💛

Today, while many enjoy the weekend, volunteers across Holyoke are helping ensure students have food for the weekend through the Holyoke Public Schools Weekend Backpack Program.

With today being the Postal Workers Food Drive, If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to leave unopened, unexpired, nonperishable food items out for your mail carrier. 📦🍝 We are also looking for volunteers to come to Enlace de Familias to help sort and package food donations for our students and families. 📦🍝

If you have a little time today, come lend a hand. Every box packed helps support a child in our community. 💙
