For
the sixth straight year, Holmes Elementary students relied on their
strength and endurance to raise more than $26,000 for their school. The
sixth annual Holmes H.E.R.O. (Holmes Educational Run Off) Jog-a-Thon,
sponsored by the school’s PTA, was held last month. More than 300
volunteers, parents and community members cheered the 530 students as
they rounded the track to raise money for completed laps. The money
raised will help fund the school’s VAPA program, which includes a choral
music teacher and Arts Attack supplies; ongoing technology needs; and
the Mileage Club. What's next for the Clairemont neighborhood school? Celebrating its 50th birthday on Saturday, May 12, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., at the annual Spring Fling. Festivities include a silent auction, cake decorating contest and activities for the entire family.
