Parents and Guardians,


Please hear us say a HUGE “Thank you!” to our students, staff, and donors for this incredible Hawks Rise Elementary School Spirit Sprint fundraiser.  An additional thank you to our Golden Hawk Sponsors:  Killearn Lakes Taekwondo; Chase Construction; and The Nova Realty Group.  Thank you to our Shake Your Teal Feather Sponsors:  Tom Paterson Allstate; Spooner, Hill, and Elliott Real Estate; and Ledbetter Landworks.

Here are our final stats:

  *   We raised $76,552 for school technology. This will directly impact our students and staff!
  *   Our students ran more than 25,000 laps combined to help our school!
  *   Tonight Chick-Fil-A on Bannerman Road is giving HRES students a free kids meal from 3 pm until 9 pm if your student wears their new Dive Into Learning HRES shirt.
  *   Our 4th and 5th graders are coming home with rainbow colored clothes as they earned the color run offered to our oldest students. It was a blast!
  *   We celebrated our community coming together and created unforgettable memories at our Hawks Rise Elementary School Spirit Sprint event.  Thank you for your support of our school. We’re grateful for our school community!

P.S. Giving will remain open for one more week.[cid:image007.jpg@01D8DC7D.0279A960] Family Login Page | Pledgestar<https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fpledgestar.com%2fhawksrise%2f&c=E,1,a5l4qx0QOc0AHPtbNWOhL0jmIm4BvZDiEAjD1atxY88qgTGh2M30KpoQg8ttv-r3yJXHHXoOMUKWuoPwNdIcjlxl1yU0nYGckzVMo1h1sBUKNsI056OHkm0JGCc,&typo=1>  On Monday, the top class in the school will select the Sea Creature Costumes for Mrs. Jackson, Mr. Wise, and Mr. Sadler to wear all day.

Monday is a teacher planning day.  Students will have no school Monday, October 17.



The Principal’s Book Chat for October is The Velveteen Rabbit.  This book chat is eligible for kindergarten through second grade students.  We will meet to discuss the book and have a fun activity and themed snack on Monday, October 24.



October is anti-bullying month.  Our guidance team is hosting a “Be the I in Kind” campaign.  This campaign will include filling students buckets on grade level posters in the cafeteria.  Buckets are “filled” by noting kind acts with a post it notes on the poster.  Please discuss kindness with your student at home this week as well.

Social-Emotional Learning Virtual Event for Parents: Positive Self-Management Skills: Focusing on Resiliency  Friday, October 28, 6:00 - 7:00 PM: This mini webinar will provide parents with resources to support students in Grades K-5 in developing social emotional learning awareness connected to classroom practices. Resiliency and positive coping strategies through the reframing of negative thinking will be the focus of this webinar. Ideas will be shared linked to Children’s Literature by utilizing Read-Alouds as a springboard for conversations aligned to the importance of reframing negative thoughts to positive self-talk.
