The long standing tradition and invitation for lunch on opening week hosted by Westview Boys Home is a Hollis Public Schools staff favorite. Thank you for your support and today's delicious meal. The party favors and beautifully set tables made us feel so special too.
Professional Development Hollis Public Schools Day 1 on campus.
Thank you again Kevin Wade for making today's professional development memorable.
This morning to kick things off, we thought we would add the magic touch by inviting a speaker that is also a magician to Hollis for our Keynote Address.
Kevin Wade has an extensive career in the field of education. He has been a school counselor and both a secondary and elementary school principal. In addition, he has been hired to provide entertainment and motivational speaking by many schools, civic organizations, churches and major corporations. Some of his clients include BASF, H&R Block, Pfizer Pharmaceutical, the Oklahoma Bar Association and 3M to name a few.
This fellow educator and magician brought us much to think about as we build relationships with students this year. The magic left us spellbound! Kevin Wade's intelligence, educational expertise, quick wit 🙈and fancy magic tricks 🎩🍐are the perfect combination.
Hollis Public Schools extends a heartfelt thank you to Cattlemens Bank. The delicious breakfast was a great way to start our first morning back on campus.

Sallie Gillentine is standing with other schools in support of Valley ISD's Paxton Barclay. Paxton, a first grader at Valley ISD, was given a DIPG diagnosis—a brain tumor that is inoperable. In an effort to raise awareness for Paxton, who is awaiting acceptance into either Cook Children's Medical Hospital or St. Jude's Hospital to conduct clinical trials, the 5th Graders at Valley ISD created this event and challenged nearby districts to join them on Wednesday, May 8th, to wear hats to school. For a donation of $1 (or more), faculty and students will be able to wear a hat in support of the Barclay family's upcoming financial hardship. Tigers let’s show our support on Wednesday, May 8th!
