What's Happening??!!

Dear Hawley Parents/Guardians, Teachers, and Staff,

So much has happened in such a short period of time. We have launched a terrific school year, held Open Houses, conducted Fall Assessments, held our Safety Drills, and have had our PTA Hawley Ice Cream Social.

Buckle up, stay seated, and keep your hands and feet in the car at all times, as you read on to find out What's Happening at Hawley .....

1. You are cordially invited to our Specials Open House. It is Tuesday, October 1, 6:00-7:00 PM. It is a family night. Students accompany parents to experience a little taste of every Special by rotating through each one for a fun activity.

We already have 40 Families signed up. Please return the form we sent home if you wish to attend. If you need another form, click HERE.

2. Each Special Area Teacher is looking to Spotlight 1 student in each grade. Students will receive a Certificate and be featured on our Specials Spotlight Bulletin Board.

They are looking for students showing bravery, modeling how to be a good sport, displaying perseverance, and demonstrating risk-taking, cooperation, teamwork, and encouragement.

Hawley School is always on the lookout for Kindness. We want everyone to be the "i" in KIND. These students were recognized for helping others without being asked, returning a forgotten water bottle, comforting a friend and providing something that was needed by others.

Join us in Congratulating these role-models!

Summer is a wonderful time to cut loose, relax, have fun, and make memories. It is also a time to Read and Keep Math Skills sharp. That is why Hawley School sends home fun activities for students to do in the summer. Below are the students that completed and returned the work. Math Participants received a Certificate and Gift Card while Readers were treated to a Breakfast with me and a book to donate to their classroom library.

We are so Proud of our Hard Working Students!

Wednesday we held one of my favorite events, The Hawley PTA Ice Cream Social. This event brings together Teachers, Staff, Parents & Students. The turn out was wonderful. It was also great seeing so many of our students that have moved on to the Reed School coming back with siblings.

Thank You PTA for arranging this and Thank You Hawley Staff for giving time to scoop.
