We read, we write, we work hard, and we're nice people. We are Holt English IV!

I really enjoyed hearing the speeches in the Holt graduation ceremony even though I couldn’t be there in person! Thanks for streaming it.

Dear Holt Class of 2020, Congratulations on your formal graduation this Saturday! I’m sorry I’ll miss seeing you wear regalia and walk across the stage, but I’ll be cheering from home! I’m proud to know you and eager to see what paths you take next. Take care!

@pernilleripp @GetSpectrum Zoetrope in SF has a short story vending machine that prints out on receipt-like paper. It’s a souvenir + something to read while waiting for a table. 😊

@ktimsmanning I generally abandon any book I’m not getting something out of, but Stamped was tough for me because history is not my strength, but the lens was illuminating.

Here’s what I’ve read over the past six weeks. I miss talking to students about books. #goodreadsismyfavesocialmedia

@Holt_DrShelmire You’re a decisive, compassionate leader who keeps ALL the plates spinning successfully! Your influence at Holt has truly been appreciated. Congratulations on the new opportunity!

@gilliland_ac It’s a good one! Enjoy how the stories/lives intersect.

Isabelle Lu, 16, of South Side High School in South Hempstead, N.Y., tells us why she reads Austen and Neruda next to books like "Tweet Cute" and "Pumpkinheads" in this winning essay for our 7th Annual Editorial Contest. https://t.co/C5FiWBON4a

@mdnij34 Yes, when I have to enter a store or busy area.
While walking/bike riding, I am mostly able to rely on distancing and leave he mask off.

@tumascience @ShanaVWhite If half the kids had the same schedule, true. Mine attend a variety of classes before and after they’re in my room.

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

@tumascience @ShanaVWhite How can HS classes be effectively reduced when 2000 kids each have a different schedule?

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

@madamednmichael @ShanaVWhite This is worth saying again!

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

@madamednmichael @ShanaVWhite Yes! This is on my mind so much since I have an autoimmune disorder.

Today, I saw my students and colleagues IRL (from a safe distance) instead of on a screen! The senior send-off parade was momentous. Thanks for making it happen, @Holt_Wilmes and @Holt_DrShelmire !

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

@merbrebner Yes. Still do.

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

Just watched the Holt senior honors and awards video. I’m proud of and happy for the class of ‘20! Might have cried just a little. 🤩

[Holt ELA George @holtelageorge]

@gilliland_ac 🙌🏻🎉🥳

Thanks for the surprise today, @HoltStucoo !
