Congratulations to Mammoth Spring Preschool Teacher Capri Turner and her family, who welcomed their second child this morning!
Welcome to the Bear Family, Holland! 🐻💙


As we say goodbye to 2024, we look forward to an exciting new year of learning, growth, and success. Wishing all of our families a Happy New Year filled with happiness, health, and prosperity. We can’t wait to see what 2025 brings! 🎉


As the winter season approaches and inclement weather becomes a possibility, our top priority is the safety of our students and staff. Our commitment is to notify you of cancellations as early as possible.
To keep you in the loop, we will broadcast updates on local radio and TV stations, post cancellations on our school social media pages, and send texts and calls using our alert system.
If there have been any changes in your contact information, we ask you to contact the school to update your information on file. If the regular transportation plan does not work for you in the event of an early release due to inclement weather, we encourage parents to have an alternate plan for their child’s safe arrival home.
Thank you for working with us to navigate the winter season safely.

We are excited to welcome Jackie Vest back to 'The Hill'! Jackie was sworn in as our new school board member at the December meeting.
