MISSION STATEMENT

The Hollister Schools Foundation is committed to breaking down the barriers to learning for students through partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child.

Our aim is to empower students to achieve their academic goals and dreams for the future while leaving an imprint of love and hope on the young lives touched by the Hollister R-V Schools.

The Hollister Schools Foundation presented Hollister R-V School District Assistant Superintendent of Operations, Dr. Sean Woods, with a check for $750 to help pay down student meal debt. 

The money originated from a donation made to the foundation for the use of paying student meal debt by the Branson Masonic Lodge# 587.

"We are deeply grateful for the generosity and kindness shown through this donation,” shared Woods. “This is just one of the many examples of how our community comes together to support our students in need, and this donation will go a long way in helping to alleviate the burden of student meal debt."

 

 

 


The Hollister Schools Foundation awarded a “Greg Davis Literacy Grant” check for $600 to Hollister R-V School District’s ESL Coordinator, Mrs. Marta Nangle. 

The “Greg Davis Literacy Grant” was established in memory of the late Hollister teacher, Mr. Greg Davis, to make an impact on the school and classrooms in regard to literacy and the promotion of reading.

In her grant application, Mrs. Nangle wrote: “I am seeking funds through this grant to purchase bilingual books for all levels of students. These books (with Spanish and English text together) allow students to read age-appropriate books of interest which assist students in becoming more proficient in both languages.”
