A Message from Principal Crews
Dear Hollin Meadows Community,
A big thank-you to our Hollin Meadows families, staff, and PTA for making our first Trunk or Treat such a fun and well-attended event! We’re grateful to everyone who helped make it a success.
Congratulations to all of our October Hornets of the Month, celebrated on Friday, October 30, for being Respectful, Responsible, and Safe throughout the month. We’re proud of you!
I invite everyone to take a moment to nominate an outstanding staff member at Hollin Meadows for the FCPS Outstanding Employee Award. Even if the employee does not move forward in the process, we do share the nominations with our staff. It means so much and only takes a few minutes. See below for the link to the nominating form.

Show Your Appreciation in the Veterans Day Art Contest
The SCA and the Purple Star Committee are excited to sponsor our Veterans Day Art Contest. We are encouraging all students to show their appreciation for our veterans through their art. If you are interested in participating, special paper for your art can be picked up in the library.
Students are invited to draw, paint, or create a picture, and everyone is encouraged to be creative and use bright colors. If you need some inspiration, great ideas for your artwork include "Thank You Veterans!", "People Who Serve Our Country", "American Symbols", "Veterans in Our Community", "Peace, Freedom and Gratitude", and "Beautiful Scenes".
Paper for poster can be picked up from the school library.
As you get to work, please remember that your artwork should be original and done completely by you. We also ask that you keep it school appropriate; there are strictly no weapons, tanks, or war equipment permitted in the drawings.
We cannot wait to see your creations, as all artwork will be displayed in the school lobby! All artwork is due by Friday, November 7. Top art awards will be selected for two separate categories: Grades K-2 and Grades 3-6.
