HOLLISTER SCHOOL DISTRICT’S NIGHT OF THE TIGER
Night of the Tiger was designed to help ensure that all Hollister students have everything they need in order to have a GREAT first day of school while giving families a fun place to gather, meet their teachers, and grow stronger as a community. Night of the Tiger consists of an Open House, Family Fair, and Taste of Hollister.
The 8th Annual Night of the Tiger is scheduled for Tuesday, August 16, 2022.
Taste of Hollister is an opportunity for area restaurants and food providers to showcase their delicious dishes by providing samples to parents and students while competing for the coveted “People’s Choice Award”.
Past “People’s Choice Award” Recipients:
Night of the Tiger is made possible through the generous donations of businesses and individuals in our community. Both monetary donations and donations of needed goods such as bottled water, backpacks, hygiene kits, and more are essential to making this event a success. Various sponsorship levels are available.
The area community steps up big every year to provide needed services for Hollister students. Service providers are needed to allow students opportunities for physicals & health exams, eye exams, dental checks, haircuts, nail painting, backpacks, college recruitment, family services, and much more.
Night of the Tiger is a wonderful community event for our Hollister families. We need many volunteers to make this event a positive experience for students and their families. Volunteers are needed to help with various items throughout Taste of Hollister and the Family Fair as well as with set up before the event and clean up after.
OPEN HOUSE
Open House will take place between 4:30 and 6:30 PM. During Open House, parents and students have the opportunity to meet teachers, visit classrooms, get class schedules, take care of transportation and Tiger Academy needs, and seek the answers to any questions they may have.
Families with multiple students and/or buildings are encouraged to start their visits at 4:30 to allow ample time to complete visits before Taste of Hollister and the Family Fair begin.
TASTE OF HOLLISTER
Taste of Hollister will take place from 6:00 to 8:00 PM and will be located in the high school commons. Those attending Taste of Hollister should enter through the student/event entrance located on the northeast side of the high school.
Take advantage of this opportunity to sample dishes from area restaurants and food providers and don’t forget to cast your vote for the 2022 “People’s Choice Award” winner.
FAMILY FAIR
The Family Fair is scheduled from 6:30 to 8:30 PM and will provide opportunities to families for a variety of services including immunizations, physicals, haircuts, college recruitment, and much more. There will also be fun games and activities, bounce houses, and entertainment.
The Family Fair will take place at the HHS Stadium, Tiger Alley, and in the FEMA Gym.
The Hollister R-V School District will once again provide school supplies for all students in kindergarten through 8th grades. School supplies will be waiting for students in their classrooms on the first day of school.
Any student needing a backpack will be provided one. Backpacks will be available in each building during Open House.
A schedule of the Family Fair entertainment and events will be posted prior to Night of the Tiger.
Families may park in any school building parking lot. Golf cart shuttles will run throughout the night from the early childhood center to the Family Fair and Taste of Hollister.
