HollenbeckMiddle School

WELCOME BACK!  This year the learning commons is taking on the theme of "We are the Champions!" (celebrating a Blues Stanley Cup win!)  by "finding the champion in you!"

There are champions everywhere though, not just in sports, including in each of the students at Hollenbeck.  We have a lot of champion books and authors to explore here.  

Finally, we have a new library paraprofessional this year--Mrs. Ellison.  She will surely be a great addition to the learning commons.

August/September Challenge--read a book about a champion, a "blue" book, or enter the shades of blue coloring contest.  Winner(s) will receive a $10 gift card.
