While our school district does not currently operate a summer food service program, organizations across the state are distributing meals at no cost this summer. Healthy meals are available to all kids and teens 18 and under. Text "Food" or "Comida" to 304-304, or visit KidsFoodFinder.org to find a distribution location near you. The Kids Food Finder map will likely update June 1. Meal programs will begin distribution in June.

Never underestimate the power of a second grader with a great idea! 💡 One of our 2nd grade multilingual learners, Nia Jiminez, noticed a need for a dedicated space in our library and took action. They prepared a proposal, presented it to our Principal and Librarian, and today, they officially helped stock the shelves of our brand-new Multilingual Book Area. Every multilingual learner in our school took part in making posters to promote this new area in the library, encouraging all students to enjoy the space! Seeing them take ownership of their bilingualism and their school community is what it’s all about! 📚✨

Our kinder friends have been working on life skills and eating in the commons with peers. We are committed to an inclusive lunch hour where every member of our community feels comfortable. By providing designated quiet zones and creating a welcoming lunch environment for sensory-sensitive individuals. We love eating with our friends!

Update!!!!! Look at comments below. We still have eggs!

🦆 A Special Visitor at Hollister Lake! 🦆

We have some egg-citing news… a duck has chosen Hollister Lake as the perfect place to nest! Right now, there are duck eggs safely tucked in front of our school, and we couldn’t be more excited to watch a little bit of nature up close. 💛

As we enjoy this special moment, we need your help to keep our feathered friends safe:
✨ Please admire from a distance
✨ Do not touch or move the eggs
✨ Help remind our Bulldogs to walk carefully and respectfully nearby

This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to practice being Bulldog Brave—respectful, kind, and curious while caring for the world around us.

We’ll be keeping an eye on our tiny future ducklings and can’t wait to share updates along the way! 🐣

Huge thank you to our amazing PTO for an unforgettable Teacher Appreciation Week! From the soda bar and lounge snacks to a delicious lunch on Friday, every detail made our staff feel so appreciated. The Survivor-themed games throughout the week were a hit and truly fed our love for a little friendly competition. We are grateful for your support and for making our staff feel celebrated in such a fun and meaningful way!

Thank you to these local businesses: The Human Bean Northern Colorado, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Cafe Mexicali, Coldstone Creamery, High Desert Chocolates, Wood Orthodontics.

Our 5th Grade Track Meet on May 4th was a blast! It was so inspiring to see the students staying active, giving it their all, and most importantly cheering their classmates on with such amazing school spirit! From the sprints to the long jumps, the energy was through the roof. We are so proud of the grit and sportsmanship shown by every single athlete. Good news! Track and Field is an optional sport for 6th graders next year. Keep that momentum going and get ready to hit the dirt again in middle school!
