Parents, Guardians, Teachers, and Staff –
Happy Friday.
The
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. Please note this different date. This is not the last Wednesday.
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.
Our
EDEP after school program has opened up an additional kindergarten class to allow more kindergarten students to enroll. If you are interested in enrolling a new student into the after school program, please email Cate Marron at

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 are always excited about this month’s First Friday treat.
Thank you to our First Friday sponsors: Andrea Fryk, Realtor, Brigit Smallridge of State Farm, Glasshouse Automotive Detailing Group, C & T Home Improvements, Susie Q's, and
Ledbetter Landworks.
This week is
Student Services Week. School psychologists, social workers, counselors and nurses work extremely hard to support our students and staff. While you may not be familiar with all of their names, they support students at Hawks Rise, and across Leon County
schools, daily. We appreciate all of their hard work!
Today is also
crossing guard appreciation day. We are so thankful for our crossing guard, and crossing guards across the district, for their continued support in keeping our students safe. Here is the
Governor’s
Proclamation for Crossing Guard Appreciation Day and here is information on the
Florida
School Crossing Guard Training Program. If you see a crossing guard this week, please thank them!
