Call Directions Contact the organization

Holdingford PTO Formerly Holdingford Elementary PTA | Transitioning to Holdingford PTO — an independent, locally governed nonprofit supporting Holdingford PreK–6.

The Holdingford Elementary PTA is a volunteer-driven group of parents, staff, and community members dedicated to creating opportunities that enrich the educational experience of every PreK–6 Husker.

💚 We organize fundraisers like the Cash for the Kernel Walk-a-Thon, run family favorites like the Scholastic Book Fair, and bring joy with events such as Grandparents/Special Guest Day, Inflatable Day, Teacher Appreciation Week, and Spirit Dress-Up Days.

📚 Every dollar raised goes right back to our kids—supporting field trips, classroom resources, enrichment activities, and special schoolwide events.

🙌 None of this would be possible without the teamwork of our incredible volunteers, teachers, and staff who link arms to make Holdingford Elementary a vibrant and supportive community. We welcome all parents, guardians, and friends of Huskers to join us in supporting our students and school!

What do you get when you squeeze 12 adults into ridiculous inflatable costumes and send them onto a dodgeball court against 20+ elementary students?!

This morning, the Holdingford Elementary PTO hosted our second annual 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 𝘃𝘀. 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻, a special celebration for our students following our incredibly successful fall fundraiser!

And WOW, did everyone deliver! The energy, excitement, cheering, and laughter packed into those 30 minutes were absolutely UNBEATABLE!

💚 𝗪𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗢 𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬 𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗙𝗨𝗟 for our incredible teachers and staff. Not just those brave enough to climb into those hot, clunky costumes and face the dodgeballs, but EVERYONE who helped make this morning possible. The time, flexibility, enthusiasm, and willingness to go above and beyond the everyday job description mean more than we can say.

As a PTO, we are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be so involved in our school and for the support, encouragement, and partnership we receive from our teachers, staff, and administration. Their willingness to embrace our sometimes crazy ideas and help bring them to life is what makes mornings like this possible!

👏 A HUGE thank you to all the 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱-𝘁𝗵𝗲-𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀 who helped us prepare, coordinate, and use the gym for this event. There are so many moving pieces to a morning like this, and we know it takes a whole team of people working together to pull it off. We appreciate every single one of you!

And of course, a HUGE thank you to our 𝗣𝗧𝗢 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 who put so much time, energy, and heart into making these events happen! We also want to give a special shout-out to a very generous friend of our PTO who continues to share her amazing collection of crazy costumes with us! 😂 Your generosity brings SO much laughter and joy to our students, and we are incredibly grateful! 💚

What a FUN night for our Holdingford families! 🎃👻💚

The PTO loves being able to help support events like Fall Fest and all the fun memories that come along with them!

A HUGE thank-you to everyone who supports our PTO throughout the year! Whether you donate to our fundraisers, volunteer your time, or support us in other ways, YOU make it possible for us to give back to our students, staff, and school community in so many special ways!

We're grateful for our amazing school staff, Future Educators Club, and everyone who helped make tonight such a success!

This is what a great school community is all about! 💚🖤

Some people work in a school.

🖤💚

Today is a bittersweet day at Holdingford Elementary as we say goodbye to a very special member of our school family — our Ms. Christy. ❤️

For nearly a decade, Ms. Christy has been one of the first smiles to welcome our little Huskers, one of the familiar faces families have come to count on, and one of the biggest hearts inside Holdingford Elementary.

If you've ever walked through the doors of Holdingford Elementary, chances are you've been greeted by that beautiful, contagious smile. Whether you were a brand-new family finding your way, a returning parent with a hundred questions, or a nervous little kindergartner walking into a big new world, Ms. Christy had a way of making you feel like you belonged.

Not just welcomed. Like family.

And that's because, to Christy, you really were.

Over the years, she has helped care for hundreds upon hundreds of little Huskers. She's wiped tears, bandaged scraped knees, calmed worried hearts, celebrated little victories, found missing things, answered countless questions, and offered hugs when words just weren't enough.

She's been the reassuring voice on the other end of the phone when a parent needed help. The familiar face a child knew they could run to. The calm in the middle of chaos. The person who somehow knew what everyone needed, often before they even asked.

And oh, the CHAOS! 😂

If you've ever spent even a few hours behind that elementary office desk, you know. The phones ring, the doors open, the kids come in, the questions keep coming, and approximately 47 things need attention at the exact same time. A few of us PTO moms have had the opportunity to fill in for Christy, and let's just say we have NO IDEA how this woman does what she does, day after day, with that smile still on her face!

But somehow, she always did.

Because caring for people isn't just something Christy does. It's who she is.

It's in the way she treats a child who isn't feeling well. The way she listens to a parent who is having a hard day. The way she supports her coworkers without being asked. The way she handles the difficult, heartbreaking, behind-the-scenes moments that most of us will never know about.

There are things that happen in a school office that don't come with a job description. Things that require patience, compassion, discretion, strength, and a whole lot of heart.

And Christy has given all of those things, over and over and over again.

It takes so many wonderful people, each with their own special role, to make a school feel like home. From the classrooms to the hallways, the cafeteria to the front office, it's the people and the love they pour into our children that make Holdingford Elementary such a special place.

And Ms. Christy has poured her whole heart into it.

While today marks the end of her time at Holdingford Elementary, it also marks the beginning of something incredibly special.

After spending so many years caring for others, Christy is shifting her priorities to spend more time with her own family. ❤️

And if there is anyone who deserves the opportunity to slow down, soak up those moments, and pour that enormous heart into the people she loves, it's her.

But here's the part that gets us.

For nearly a decade, she's helped take care of our families. Our children. Our teachers. Our school.

And now, as she begins this next chapter, we couldn't be happier that she'll have more time for hers. 🥹

Ms. Christy, there will be someone new answering the phones. Someone new greeting families at the door. Someone new juggling the million little things that keep an elementary school running.

But there will never be another YOU.

Your kindness has left fingerprints on more hearts than you'll ever know. There are children who may not remember every lesson they learned in elementary school, but they will remember the people who made them feel loved, safe, and important.

And we have no doubt that for so many of them, one of those people will be you.

Nearly a decade of little faces. Nearly a decade of big feelings. Nearly a decade of making Holdingford Elementary feel like home.

What a beautiful gift you've given this school community.

On behalf of the Holdingford Elementary PTO, our families, and all the little Huskers whose lives you've touched, THANK YOU. For the love, the laughter, the hustle, the patience, the hugs, and the countless things nobody ever saw you do.

We are going to miss you more than words can say. But we are so incredibly happy for you and this next chapter.

Go love on your family, spend time with your horses, enjoy those moments that go by way too quickly, and maybe — just maybe — sit down and put your feet up once in a while. (Although we know that's probably asking a lot! 😂)

You've spent nearly a decade helping take care of our school family. Now it's time to enjoy a little more time with your own.

We love you, Ms. Christy. Once a Husker, always a Husker. 💚🖤

There’s just something about seeing all those Scholastic cases open up that makes it officially feel like BOOK FAIR TIME! 😍

A HUGE thank you to Camille for all of her work coordinating the Book Fair and keeping all of the moving pieces moving. ❤️ And thank you to everyone who came in today to help unpack boxes, set up displays, organize books, and get everything ready for our kiddos!

And, of course, we had a few very important members of the setup crew on hand… our official kid quality-control department. 😂 They carefully inspected the books, posters, pens, journals, squishies, and all the other treasures to make sure the Book Fair is properly stocked. We take quality control VERY seriously around here. 😉

📚 Book Fair information should have made its way home in backpacks, so be sure to take a peek!

We can’t wait to see our students come through and find something they’re excited to read. 📖

🌽💚 WOWZA, HUSKERS!!! 💚🌽

GRAND TOTAL: $26,810.65!!! 🎉🎉🎉

Our goal was $24,000… and our Husker community absolutely BLEW IT OUT OF THE WATER! We finished $2,810.65 OVER GOAL!

🤯💚

And after seeing our kiddos at the Walk-a-Thon, we can definitely say they PUT IN THE WORK for those pledges! 👟💪 They walked, ran, laughed, and earned every bit of the support they received!

This fundraiser was especially meaningful to us because it was our VERY FIRST fundraiser as the Holdingford PTO! 💚

After transitioning from a PTA to our own local PTO this year, we hoped we could count on the same incredible support from our families and community — and WOW, did you show up!

Every envelope, every donation, every share, every pledge, and every person who supported one of our kiddos helped make this happen.

📬 And if you happen to find a fundraiser envelope hiding in a backpack, sitting on the kitchen counter, or riding around in your car — send it in! 😂 We will still happily accept any stragglers!

We feel incredibly blessed to have this kind of support behind our school and our kids.

Our first PTO fundraiser is in the books — and YOU DID THAT, HUSKERS! 💚🤍

And tomorrow is the BIG DAY! 🎉

💚 HUSKER SPIRIT / HOMECOMING DAY!

👟 WALK-A-THON DAY — PLEASE WEAR SNEAKERS!
