From the Principal
Dear Hawkins Families!
Don't forget we have no school this Monday, January 21 in observance of MLK Day. Many parents have been asking about what to do with their children to teach them about Martin Luther King Jr. Here is a link to the Detroit Free Press listing all of the celebrations around the metro Detroit area to give you some ideas.
This week we collected almost 500 kindness hearts from our students. The goal is to collect around 550 every week to reach our 4,500 Acts of Kindness Goal. Keep bringing those hearts in and if you need more, your child's teacher can send more home. Thank you!
We are in the middle of sweepstakes through Box Tops 4 Education. It is running through the end of January and each person who signs up can enter once a day. Hawkins could win up to $3000 in extra box tops and 3000 paper mate pens should we win the grand prize. To enter the drawing daily you do have to signup with Box Top 4 Education initially, but after you create an account it takes two clicks each day to enter the drawing. Here is the link to sign up. If you have any questions, one of our parents, Jessica Sisson who is organizing Box Tops this year, please contact her here.
I hear snow is finally coming this season so please don't forget to dress your child in snow friendly weather which includes boots, snow pants, gloves, hat, and a warm coat. We go outside at least 2x per day and we want to make sure our students are enjoying themselves as well as socializing with their peers. Thank you!
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
