Happy National Custodian Appreciation Day! 💙💛 Thank you to our SBISD custodians for the hard work, dedication and care you bring to our schools every day. You keep our campuses clean, safe and welcoming, helping create spaces where students can learn and staff can do their best work.
We are so proud to celebrate Ms. Jaimes, Ms. Salazar, and Mr. Baldwin for being recipients of three grants being funded by the Spring Branch Education Foundation!
Writing a grant takes time, dedication, creativity, and a clear vision for how additional resources can make a difference for our students. From developing an idea and identifying a need to writing the proposal and explaining the impact it can have on student learning, grant writing is an important part of supporting innovative opportunities in our school!
These grants provide valuable resources that help bring new ideas, experiences, and learning opportunities to our students! We are grateful for educators who are willing to put in the extra effort to advocate for our students and make their ideas a reality!
CONGRATULATIONS, Ms. Jaimes, Ms. Salazar, and Mr. Baldwin! Thank you for your dedication to the students of Hollibrook!

Keeping Every Child safe starts with awareness, education and open conversations.
SBISD Police encourages families to talk with their children about firearm safety, including the importance of never handling a firearm and knowing what to do if they encounter one:
Never touch it.
Leave the area immediately.
Tell a trusted adult.
Take a few minutes to watch this important safety message and continue the conversation at home.
HBE welcomed Spring Forest Middle School NJHS and Student Council on Friday. SFMS students brought books to read to our Pre-K-2nd grade students!
Our students loved having the "big kids" visit and sharing the joy of reading together! We truly appreciate the time they took to inspire our young readers and help foster a love of books and learning.
Thank you, SFMS NJHS and Student Council for being such a wonderful partner and supporting our students!
