Summer may have us spread out, but it was so much fun to get a few Bulldogs back together this morning! ☀️☕ We enjoyed coffee, a light breakfast, and even better conversation while catching up on everyone’s summer adventures. It was great to reconnect, share a few laughs, and spend time together. We’re soaking up summer, but days like today remind us how special our Hollister Lake family is. 💜💛

We are incredibly grateful to the Tointon Institute for Educational Change of Northern Colorado, UNC for investing in educators across Colorado. Our team of eight spent four days learning, reflecting, and dreaming about what’s next for Hollister Lake.

We explored practical ways to apply the science of learning, reflected on the incredible collaboration already happening in our building, and identified opportunities to make our work even stronger. Most importantly, we had time to think together, challenge each other’s thinking, and develop plans for the year ahead.

We left energized, inspired, and excited for what is to come. Thank you to the Tointon Institute and UNC for sponsoring 14 Colorado schools and creating such a meaningful learning experience. We are grateful for the investment in our team and our students.

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! 🐣
