Our students celebrated Field Day today with fun relays. They worked in teams using their skills and sportsmanship. They played the Egg and Spoon, Partner Ring Race, Hula Hoop Transfer, Water Pass, Over and Under, and Tug of War. Thank you to our amazing Physical Education team, Ms. Smacchia, Mr. Thomas, and Mr. Bendlin for organizing a super fun event!

In a collaborative effort, Hawthorne Elementary School first graders provided colorful sketches of their imaginative monsters to Irvington Middle School eighth graders who crafted unique, hand-sewed stuffed animals in their Family and Consumer Science class with teacher Jon Mancini.

The “Monster Project” fostered a sense of community and collaboration between the students. The first graders eagerly anticipated the transformation of their drawings into tangible creations, affectionately calling the completed monsters “stuffies.”

When their monsters came to life, our first grade Art classes sent heartfelt pictures and videos expressing their gratitude and appreciation. Mr. Mancini's students were thrilled to see the excitement on their faces.

Please see the information below about the programs at the Mt. Pleasant Library. Please visit their website for more information.

We will host our Second Grade Moving Up Ceremony on June 21st at 9:30 a.m. on the playground field. If it is a rainy day we will host three ceremonies indoors in the gymnasium. We will update you as the date gets closer.

Indoor Ceremony Schedule:

8:45 Chiodi & Pirrotta, Schoener, Taylor

9:45 Bartucca, Boccio, Rush & Karnbad

10:45 Luzon, Biagiotti & Fennell

Additional parking will be available at Holy Rosary, and you will be able to enter Hawthorne through the side gate. We will be sending home four wristbands per family the week before the ceremony. Please have all adults wear their wristbands. Weather permitting, our PTA will host a party on the field for our second graders and their families immediately after the ceremony.

Safety in Warmer Weather

We will continue to go outdoors for recess as long as temperatures and the heat index remain in the safe range. We will adhere to the NYS guidelines for outdoor activity, and modify our time outdoors as necessary. We will also use the air conditioned spaces in HES to provide students with a break on warmer days. Currently our cafeteria, library, and STEM Lab are all air conditioned. Please make sure that your child is dressed comfortably and has a water bottle on warmer days.

HES is Nut-Free

Hawthorne is a nut-free school. Please do not send your child to school with products containing peanuts, tree nuts, Sun Butter, Nutella or any other products containing nuts.

The deadline for ordering school supplies through A.Hartz is June 28th.
