Hello Hawks Rise Families, We had a great week celebrating Literacy. A big thank you to Mrs. Rudd, our Reading Coach, and Mrs. Tamplin, our Media Specialist, for planning such a fun week for us and a special thank you to our students for their enthusiastic participation. School Information * Hawks Rise and Killearn Lakes Fifth-Grade String Orchestras present their joint Winter Concert on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, at 6:30 PM in the Hawks Rise ES Cafeteria with Mrs. Lisa Foltz, String-Orchestra Teacher; Free admission. Park in the Meadow Ridge Dr. parking lot and enter through the gate by Administration. Come out this Tuesday to support our budding violinists, violists, and cellists! * Skill of the Week-Responsibility-Taking ownership for what you say and do. * If You Traveled on the Underground Railroad is our Principal's Book Chat book for 2nd -5th graders for January. We have discovered that there are two versions of the book, one by Ellen Levine and the updated one by Ebony Joy Wilkens. The AR test is for the one by Ellen Levine, but we have more copies of the book by Wilkens. To make it easier on everyone, students can read either version and instead of taking the AR test, write three facts that they learned from the book. I want to encourage students to use their best writing skills and to use all of the writing strategies that they have learned from their teachers. To give everyone the opportunity to read the book, students will have until February 9 to complete the book and turn in their paper. * 5th grade parents, please see the attached flyer about Raa's Parent Night.
