Parents and Guardians,
I am sending well wishes your way as the weather is predicted to be rough tomorrow.
School will CANCELED TOMORROW, November 10.
This is my last ListServ email. While writing emails does not rank at the top of the fun parts of my job, it is still bittersweet. I have so loved being a
part of the Hawks Rise community. It has been an absolute joy to get to know this school family, to discuss books with your student, chat during lunch time, and receive smiles and hugs during car drop off. There are fabulous teachers throughout this school
and it has been an honor to watch the magic in their classrooms. The families at Hawks Rise are the very best.
Thank you for so many wonderful years.
The
Principal’s Book Chat for November is Anne of Green Gables.
This book chat is eligible for second through fifth grade students. Mrs. Martin and Mrs. Van Hise will meet to discuss the book and have a fun activity and themed snack on
November 30.
It's BOOK FAIR time at Hawks Rise! November 30 - December 2 will be class preview days for students to come in with their teachers and make wish

FOOD
DRIVE! We are working with the Salvation Army to sponsor a food drive to help support people in our community. The Salvation Army maintains two food pantries
in which we serve hundreds of families in the community. This is one of my favorite events as it works to support food security in our area. This year our
Project Joy Food Drive is scheduled to run November 7th - 11th.
. Food can be dropped off in the office, or students may deliver it to the cafeteria.
It is
Helping Hands Time!
The Guidance Team and PTO partners are conducting Helping Hands similarly to last year by using Sign-Up Genius again. Helping Hands is an opportunity to help purchase winter clothes,
shoes, and needs for some of our Hawks Rise families anonymously. Information about the gifts and sizes will be given to teachers to send home with students. All gifts should be newly purchased with tags. Sign up Genius Link to go live on Friday, 11/4/22.
