Relax and socialize with friends after school on Fridays. You can paint with watercolor, draw with markers, ink pens, colored pencils, use air dry clay, and we will have two ceramic projects this year.

The ‘Holmes Birders’ is a club that meets every Wednesday at lunch. Meetings start in room E33 (next to the computer lab) before we head out in search of birds. We explore the natural areas on campus to find our local birds. Binoculars and field guides are supplied but please bring your own preferred binoculars and books! We will begin building life lists, identify birds, participate in the Christmas Bird Count and go on fieldtrips to see native habitats. Our first field trip is in the beginning of November to the Yolo Wildlife Bypass. We will also have monthly guest speakers to discuss birds and birding adventures. Email Ms. De Bow, [email protected] with any questions.

Every Wednesday at lunch in room E33
