🎓️Congratulations to our preschool graduates! 🎓
This week we celebrated an important milestone as our youngest Holmes Heroes completed preschool and prepared for their next adventure in kindergarten. We are so proud of all they have learned, the friendships they have built, and the growth they have shown throughout the year.
We can't wait to see all the amazing things they accomplish next year!

Our 4th graders have been hard at work studying Washington State's landforms and active volcanoes as they explore the essential question: How do the landforms of Washington State shape the way people live, work, and travel in the region?
They have also been researching and learning various extreme settings while considering the question: How does a challenging setting or physical environment change a person? It's been exciting to see students connect geography, science, and reading as they deepen their understanding of the world around them.

Last week we held our Second Semester Awards Ceremony and recognized students for their hard work, growth, perseverance, and achievements throughout the school year.
We are proud of our Holmes Heroes for the dedication they have shown in the classroom, on the playground, and throughout our school community. Congratulations to all of our award recipients!

What a fantastic Field Day and end to an incredible school year! Our students enjoyed a day filled with laughter, smiles, games, and unforgettable memories.
One of the highlights was our pie-in-the-face fundraiser, where students raised, and voted for which staff members would take a pie to the face. Thanks to the generosity of our school community, we raised $946.00 for SpokAnimal C.A.R.E. !
A huge thank you to our amazing volunteers for helping make the day a success and to Kona Ice for providing a cool treat to celebrate. What a great way to finish the year at Holmes!

Our 5th graders wrapped up their elementary school journey with an unforgettable trip to Union Gospel Mission Camp! It was a day filled with adventure, teamwork, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime.
As they prepare for middle school, we are proud of the leaders they have become and grateful for the experiences that help them grow. What a fantastic way to celebrate the end of their time at Holmes!

🎉 Congratulations to Mrs. Kee’s class for having the highest attendance in May! 🎉As a reward, students enjoyed a special field trip filled with fun, learning, and exploration.
A huge thank you to Spokane Rotary North for sponsoring this opportunity, Spokane Transit for helping us navigate public transportation, Riverfront Spokane for providing such a beautiful destination, and Mobius Discovery Center for inspiring curiosity, creativity, and imagination in our students. We are grateful for our community partners who help make experiences like this possible!

Our 4th graders had an incredible opportunity to dissect a pig’s heart as part of their learning around the Essential Question: What makes someone have a great heart—both figuratively and literally?
This hands-on experience brought learning to life and helped students connect science with deeper reflections on kindness, compassion, and character.
Thank you to our amazing 4th grade teachers for creating meaningful learning opportunities that inspire curiosity and engagement in our students!
