Parents, Guardians, Teachers, and Staff  –

Happy Wednesday.  Progress Reports were published to the parent portal today.   

Picture of Stone FoxThe Principal’s Book Chat this month is focused on Stone Fox by John Reynolds Gardiner.  We will meet to discuss the book and have a fun activity on February 28. 

The FIRST annual Hawks Rise Spirit Sprint is launching February 18.  Get ready for fun fundraising culminating with a run and all the excitement on February 25.  More information is attached.

We are collecting many left behind water bottles and jackets. Please take the time to label your child’s items with their first and last name.  We will return items to your child’s teacher if they are labeled with your child’s name. 

 

PTO never got the opportunity to present Mrs. Friend with a retirement gift.  They have scheduled her retirement presentation for February 16 at 3:30.  Please join us if want to come hug Mrs. Friend and celebrate her again.    

We would like to give a BIG thanks to everyone for making this year’s book fair a tremendous success! The money raised will allow us to buy LOTS more books for our media center. A special thank you to Andrew & Tracy Woodward and Mindy Fike for counting money every day and to all the parent volunteers who worked shifts at the fair! The online book fair runs through this Sunday, February 13, if you would like to make any additional purchases or want to use any remaining eWallet funds. https://www.scholastic.com/bf/hawksrise THANK YOU!!!
