Hawthorne Happenings
Week of 5/15-5/19
New schedule trial run - All Week
REMINDER: WE ARE RUNNING THE NEW SCHEDULE THIS WEEK!!! We will not run this schedule next week as I previously mentioned. We will run the Wednesday schedule on Wednesday and Friday (Trimester 3 Assembly). Next week, the bowling incentives are Monday and Tuesday. They were planned around our original schedule, so next week we will be back to our original schedule for the last 3 days.
Please keep in mind that this is a trial. If there are problems that arise, please keep note of them and communicate those to me. We will make any necessary changes over the summer. Also, prepare for some wrinkles. I would love for this to go as smoothly as possible, but it will take some adjusting. We are trying something new, so patience is key. Thank you in advance for your understanding!!
Assistant Principal Interviews - 5/16
Thank you, once again, to all of you who volunteered your time Tuesday to interview the candidates for the AP position. The interviews will be all day on Tuesday. For those of you that volunteered, I sent out a schedule for Tuesday last week with times and locations. Please review the schedule and we will start right at 7:30. Thanks again!!
Bounce House Reward - 5/17
This Wednesday, students who have be respectful, responsible, and ready will get an opportunity to jump in a bounce house!! Please remember to check the schedule to remind yourself of what time you signed up for. Enjoy!!
Family Title Night - 5/17 @ 2:30-4:30
Wednesday afternoon the Title team will be hosting the Family Title Night. I'm looking forward to this event. It's always rewarding to see our parents and community in the building. It will be a blend of fun and learning. If you would like to volunteer your time, please speak to a Title team member to see where you could be of use. Thank you!
Literacy Volunteer Picnic - 5/18
Our Literacy volunteers will be here on Thursday to celebrate the year with the students they read with. Students will be invited from to a picnic with the volunteers from 11:00-12:00. Once again, if you have not gotten the chance to thank our volunteers for the assistance this year, please take a moment to do so. We appreciate their help!!
High School Graduate Walk-Through - 5/19
As we did last year, we will have the high school graduates walk through our building at 10:10 on Friday. They will be in cap and gown. At this time, please line the halls from kindergarten through the 3rd grade wing. We will cheer them on to future success ans they pass through our halls. What a great way to show our students what their hard work and effort is all for!!
Perfect Attendance Lunch - 5/19
For all of the students who have had perfect attendance this year, we will be taking them to Pizza Hut to celebrate. If you have a student in your classroom who has perfect attendance, be aware that we will be taking them from 11:30-12:30 on Friday.
