Dear Holdrum Community,

As we settle into the start of the school year, I am thrilled to share how positive and energizing these first weeks have been. Our students have jumped into learning with enthusiasm, our staff continues to show incredible dedication, and the overall sense of community has been inspiring. Classrooms are buzzing with curiosity, our hallways are filled with kindness and connection, and it’s clear that our school is off to a strong and successful start.

I also want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for the warm welcome I have received as the new Assistant Principal at Holdrum. From families to faculty to students, the River Vale community has embraced me with open arms, and I am truly grateful. Your support has made this transition incredibly smooth, and I already feel at home. I look forward to supporting our school, celebrating our growth, and partnering with you to ensure a year filled with meaningful learning and positive experiences.

Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday season ahead. 

Best in Health,

Julieann McKeary
Assistant Principal
