Holly Area Schools, Holly, MI — September 8, 2022
Parents of middle school and high school Bronchos recently attended the first-ever Broncho Parent Camp hosted by Holly Area Schools.
On Aug. 27, parents and guardians had the opportunity to attend breakout sessions on topics impacting middle and high school students, including substance abuse, the importance of student involvement, bullying, mental health, future planning, and more during Parent Camp’s successful kickoff.
“Holly Area Schools was proud and happy to host our Broncho parents to facilitate discussion on multiple important topics affecting middle and high school students,” said Jennifer Fettig, assistant principal at Holly High School, who led the creation of Broncho Parent Camp. “We’re excited to grow this event in the future and reach even more of our parents, build partnerships and support our students.”
Fettig received support from middle and high school administrators, counselors, and the Holly Area Schools district nurse, in addition to other district staff and community leaders. Parents and guardians who attended Broncho Parent Camp said they found the event helpful, informative, and interactive.
