At Holmes Elementary, we believe that every child deserves an environment that inspires creativity, learning, and connection. Right now, our courtyard is an underutilized space—but with your help, we can transform it into a vibrant hub for outdoor learning and community building. Holmes currently serves 400 students preschool through fifth grade.

The Vision
We’re reimagining the courtyard to include:A safe and accessible pathway for all students and staff.A gathering area for outdoor classes, performances, and events.Durable tables and landscaping to create a serene, inviting space.This project will enrich our students’ experiences, improve their well-being, and bring our school community even closer together.

Here’s how your gift can make an impact:

$25 provides landscaping materials to beautify the space.$50 helps fund the pathway for accessibility.$100 contributes toward the gathering area for outdoor learning.$250 supports the purchase of a durable outdoor table.$500 brings us closer to completing the project as a whole.

Every dollar gets us one step closer to giving our students a courtyard they can be proud of! Requesting $5,000 plus cost reimbursement. 

Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a lasting difference for the students of Holmes Elementary. Together, we can create a space where they can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Donate today and share this campaign with your friends and family. Let’s make this dream a reality for Holmes Elementary students!

Thank you for your support—our students and community are counting on you!

Our Kahoa 5th graders are now the leaders of the school and with that comes lots of fun activities, field trips and experiences. To unite as a group, as a safety measure, and to celebrate our last year as Cougars, we are ordering special 5th grade t shirts. The cost is about $10.00 per shirt. Requesting $900 plus cost reimbursement.
Looking forward to a great end to our school year!

The Holmes Prickly Planet Protectors are looking for donors to help us fund transportation for our 30 member green team to tour Arbor Day Farm to learn more about the importance of trees and how to make a difference in our local environment. This field trip would also help our school complete part of the requirements for a K-12 Tree Campus Endorsement for the 2024-2025 school year which is step one towards a National Green Ribbon School award application. Our school's CLC program is able to pay the entry fee for our group to go on either the Tree Adventure tour or the Terrific Trees Tour but we need to find funding for busing our students. We're requesting $800, plus cost reimbursement, for busing to and from Arbor Day Farm. Any "tree-tastic" donors will receive a certificate and recognition on The Prickly Planet Protectors Website. In the event we can't fund the trip for this year funds will roll over for the following school year. Thank you for thinking green and supporting the learning of our 3rd-5th grade green team!
