📣 We are excited to announce that the construction of Holloman Middle School is officially starting! Work will begin on September 3rd, with the installation of fencing marking the construction zone. 😄🥳 Please note that, due to the fencing, students will not be able to walk across the football field or next to HES. To ensure their safety, your child will need to use alternative routes to enter HMS. The attached diagram outlines the fenced area with a blue line and alternative pathways with black arrows. Safety remains a top priority. All emergency exits will remain accessible, and in case of an emergency, the red arrows on the diagram indicate the designated exit routes for students. While the sudden change may present some initial challenges, we are pleased to share some exciting new additions. The blue area on the diagram will be transformed into a new outdoor recess space for HMS students. This area will feature basketball half-courts, tetherball, shaded benches and chairs, and sand volleyball! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we embark on this exciting phase. #Allin4OurKids #HerefortheKids

🌟Last month, 15 teams from Holloman AFB completed community service projects as part of the Casa Big Give initiative. 😎 🎖A total of 260 people from Holloman and the local community volunteered 2,963 hours which generated a savings of approximately $35,500 in labor. The winners of the Big Give were the “Loose Screws” Team in the small team category and the “Ghost Warriors” in the large team category. The Loose Screws team repainted a shade structure and built “buddy benches" at Yucca Elementary School and at Mountain View Middle School, the team removed weeds, cleaned the school grounds, and refurbished a greenhouse. 🪑 💛Thank you to the Loose Screws for making a difference in our schools. 💛🏆 🏆Congratulations to the winning teams! 🎖 Check out this video for more information about this competition. https://www.facebook.com/HollomanAFB/videos/1858566404656639 #Allin4OurKids #HerefortheKids #Summer2024
