We are excited to be the recipient of the National PTA Healthy Lifestyles, Healthy Minds grant by the New York Life Foundation. With this grant, we will be offering programs and educational pieces to help destigmatize the topic of mental health, and help our families learn how to talk about mental health and build resiliency at home. We are forming a committee to help plan the execution of this grant. If you are interested in being part of this committee or learning more, please email the PTA Advocacy Chair Erin Anderson at hmptaadvocacy@gmail.com.

We want to share some important information with our families that supports the mission of this grant that you can also share with your kids. We have linked below some 15-20 minute videos from National PTA for you to view and a link for more resources with some topic specific information. We hope these videos work as a way to open up communication on these topics within your family.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please email hollinmeadows@gmail.com.

Rob Ellis and Tyger Latham have rebooted the Hollin Meadows Watch D.O.G.S program! The Watch D.O.G.S. program is a nationally recognized program designed to bring positive male role models into the educational process. Watch D.O.G.S. will spend a day volunteering in the school, in visible and helpful locations, providing an extra set of eyes and ears to enhance school security and reduce bullying.

If you, or a male you know, might be interested in participating in the program please have them reach out to hmptawatchdogs@gmail.com for more information and to book a volunteer day.

We are currently looking for volunteers as well as someone to help coordinate the various volunteers for the Watch D.O.G.S. program!
