 WEEKLY UPDATE
Holyoke Public Schools Community Message
Dear Families, Partners, and Colleagues, The Holyoke Public Schools summer programming is in full swing and believe it or not, has hit its half‐way mark. Students and staff are excited about the fun and learning that has transpired and are looking forward to the remaining two weeks. Students are brushing up on academics, choosing enrichment experiences, including STEM, robotics, cooking, swimming, Shakespeare, binary coding, career readiness, robotics, outdoor adventure, violin, cello, guitar, and voice lessons. See photo collage below on page 2. July 22, 2016 We are enjoying the beautiful summer weather and have begun our neighborhood walks. This past Wednesday and Thursday I was joined by HPS staff as we travelled through the Wards 6 and 1 neighborhoods, meeting families, students and friends from McMahon, Sullivan and Kelly Schools. We enjoyed listening to stories and visiting the neighborhoods. If you missed out on these walks, there are several more scheduled this summer. Next week, we will be visiting the Morgan and Donahue neighborhoods. Please see page 3 for details and schedule. I invite you to join in on the fun, make some new friends, and get some exercise with us. Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Sincerely, Steve Bevan Brunelle, Kelly School middle school science teacher, shares a smile with one of her students. Children and parents repeatedly expressed their excitement for this visit to their neighborhoods this summer. See more photos on page 8 .

Estimadas familias, socios y colegas: La programación de verano de las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke está en plena marcha y lo creas o no, ya está a mitad de camino. Los estudiantes y el personal están entusiasmados con la diversión y el aprendizaje que ha ocurrido y están esperando las dos semanas restantes. Los estudiantes están repasando en lo académico, la elección de experiencias de enriquecimiento, incluyendo STEM, la robótica, la cocina, natación, Shakespeare, la codificación binaria, la preparación profesional, la robótica, la aventura al aire libre, violín, chelo, guitarra y clases de canto. Ver collage de fotos a continuación en la página 10. Estamos disfrutando del buen tiempo de verano y hemos comenzado nuestras caminatas vecinales. El miércoles y jueves pasado estuve acompañado por personal de las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke, mientras viajabamos a través del vencindario del Distrito 6 y 1, reuniendonos con las familias, los estudiantes y amigos de las Escuelas McMahon, Sullivan y Kelly. Disfrutamos escuchando las historias y visitando los barrios. Si se ha perdido una de estas caminatas, hay variass más programadas este verano. La próxima semana, volveremos a visitar los vecindarios Morgan y Donahue. Por favor, consulte la página 3 para obtener más información y horarios. Los invito a unirse a la diversión, hacer nuevos amigos, y obtener algo de ejercicio con nosotros. Te deseo un maravilloso fin de semana. Atentamente, Steve 22 de julio de 2016 Bevan Brunelle, maestra de ciencia de la escuela Kelly, comparte una sonrisa con uno de sus estudiante. Los niños y sus padres expresaron repetidamente su estusiasmo por esta visita a sus vencindario. Ver más fotos en la página 11. 5 Verano de Diversión y Aprendizaje de las Escuelas Públicas de Holyoke
