THE SOCCER GAMES VS CARAVEL THAT WERE CANCELLED LAST THURSDAY HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED TO MONDAY, OCTOBER 3RD AT CARAVEL.
|
Dear Holbrook Families,
Starting Tuesday, September 6, Holbrook School will begin a new student pick-up procedure for the end of school day. This does not affect the morning drop-off procedure.
To help reduce traffic on route 46 at the end of the school day, parents wishing to pick-up their students will now enter the driveway where the school buses enter. They will then take an immediate right. This will take you up and around the back of the school in a one-way direction. You will no longer enter the main parking lot. The driveway is now marked showing the direction of travel. Staff members will be posted at key junctures to show the way until we have a well-established flow of traffic.
Students will meet their parents at the "7th grade wing" entrance. A staff member will be there as usual to help guide students.
Your patience will be greatly appreciated as we work through this new procedure. And please be ever mindful of the potential of student foot traffic. We will be using new procedures for students exiting the building to reduce this possibility. However, as this is a new change, we want to be extra careful until the routine is well established.
Please reach out to my office if you have any concerns or questions.
Sincerely,
Robert Meyer
Principal
Holbrook School

Great display of team effort, boys!

Even goals were scored across the front line with 1 by Brynn, 1 by Olivia Huang, and 1 by Lily Fox. The girls put up another impressive 26 shots on goal by 7 different players!
Our defense across the back line - Izzy Brideau, Carlie Soucy, Kassidy Bogan, and Ella Williams - kept the Chargers to less than 10 shots on our goal, which was held down the entire game by 5th grader, Miss Elizabeth Downs, who made several impressive saves to help secure the victory!

The boys continue their road trip with a game against Glenburn today.
Girls Soccer News: Yesterday the girls soccer team played Bangor Christian at their home field and walked away with a hard-fought 4-2 win. Another hat trick was scored by Riley Soucy and a goal added by Olivia Huang. The girls had an impressive 22 shots on goal, 10 by Brynn, 4 by Olivia Huang, 4 by Riley Soucy, and 4 by Ellie.
Playing with 2 girls down, the entire team stepped up and played whatever position they needed in order to secure the victory. All around, great effort by all girls. We have another game today in Glenburn. Wish us luck!
