HAWTHORNE PTO - ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING - Monday, October 23 @ 3:20
Parents, Teachers, Friends of Hawthorne - it is time to reform and recreate a PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) at Hawthorne! The PTO will help coordinate schoolwide events, organize fun activities and fund-raise for special things (like new handicapped-accessible playground equipment). Anyone who is interested can come to our meeting. If you are interested and can't come, please let us know and we will reach out and get you involved!
Halloween at Hawthorne - costume guidelines
Halloween is on a Tuesday this year (Tuesday, 10/31). Halloween at school is always fun! But it is also a learning day. Students will be allowed to wear a costume if they are comfortable in it all day (so, they will only wear inflatable costumes during the parade) Also please remember, no weapons, no full face masks and limit face paint to small areas (like cat whiskers).
We will have a costume parade and parents are invited to come and watch it! Keep an eye on the newsletter and text messages for the parade time.
Halloween Character Story Contest
We are going to have a Halloween Character Story Contest! To make a fun connection between their Halloween costumes and writing, we are sponsoring a contest! Students can either write a story or write and draw a graphic novel (comic strip) about their character. We will have winners for K-2, 3-4 and 5-6. Stories are due on Friday, October 27.
