Have a safe summer!

Wow, another year of school has just whizzed by. It seems like just yesterday we were starting school and before you know it, we had promotion and graduation ceremonies. I certainly wish my very best to all of our graduates.

** I've been enjoying reading in the papers about the many graduates who have been accepted at various colleges and universities. I know that as a parent, I'm going to have to face the reality that my little (?) girls are not far behind. Sigh.

** If you haven't noticed, our Summer food service program is underway. Each day, everyone that lives in our district up to age 18 can eat free in the Finley cafeteria both breakfast and lunch. We are serving about 200 meals per day.  Speaking of the cafeteria, our long-time Food Services Director Isabel Jessee is retiring at the end of July. Her retirement is a big loss for the District but she definitely has earned her right to retirement. We are going to miss her greatly as she has helped prepare literally over a million meals during her career. Also retiring from our food services department is long-time employee Shirley Enz. One of our most dependable, hard working employees, Shirley will also be missed greatly. Congratulations to both of these wonderful women!

** Juan Aguilera, who has served as our assistant principal for both Finley and HMS, is moving to the Principal's seat at Finley Elementary. Mr. Aguilera loves the kids of Holtville and has the heart and ability to continue working with the fine staff at Finley, moving the school forward. Congratulations to Mr. Aguilera!

** Please take every precaution this summer in regards to the excessive heat we are experience every year. Hydration, shade, and staying indoors are imperative to stay well in this climate.

**  Encourage your child to read and stay active.

Enjoy your family every day this summer!
