Other Tidbits:- HCMS Tour - We are excited for another chance to welcome your child to Holland Christian Middle School! Coming up on Wednesday, April 26, we will be hosting all of the Holland Christian 5th graders during the regular school day! They will get to hear from a panel of current 6th grade students to learn from their experiences of navigating middle school for the first time. Your child will also get a tour of the building to help them feel a little more familiar with the space before the start of next year. We look forward to having them visit! (The following week on Thursday, May 4, 6:45-7:45pm, parents will be invited to the middle school for an introduction and information night. More details about that will be communicated later.) ~HCMS 6th Grade Welcome Team
