Hello, Hawks Rise Families, [cid:image002.png@01DA132E.36D9AEB0]Our Hawks had another great week of learning! During November, we like to think about all that we are thankful for, and I want to be sure to let our teachers and staff know how thankful we are for them. Our teachers work so hard to ensure each student succeeds and this is not an easy job. I have witnessed so many instances where teachers are searching for just the right strategy to use to help a student, and they never give up. In addition, our staff members are remarkable. They are not only dedicated to our students, they are ready to jump in to help when other issues arise. Thank you, teachers and staff! School Information * Helping Hands is here! Helping Hands is a way for Hawks Rise students and families to provide gifts for other Hawks Rise families in need. Like last year, there will be an online signup if you would like to participate. Here's the link to signup: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F084AAAAF2FA02-45731989-helping * The Ox Bottom Manor Neighborhood will be holding a Fun Run on November 18.
